Anyone know the name of the socket for these? I've seen a couple versions however can't find them online.

I have a lot of hours in a Vtwin... well in a video game (Xplane 11). I also have a huge interest in them but it's hard to find info out there about them.

I tell you what... Jason Ellis helped me immensely though my empennege. I think I got my kit around 6 months behind him so I was able to read the plans, watch his video and then work through the part. Several times I went back and watched his steps. Curious what stops someone from say...

I would argue that as long as the person is getting educated and learning about how to construct a kit that they can claim the monetary compensation is secondary and isn't the sole purpose of them helping. To me unless the FAA flat out states "if they're paid, they're pro!" that you will have a...

I would disagree. If I'm paying people to come to my garage, kids down the street, my mother... whatever. I would not consider them professionals and therefore not list them on 'commercial assistance'. Would be curious if any DAR has ever rejected an application based on them thinking too...

This is how those builder assist operations work. Same with some kit builders you have to go to their factory and work with them over periods of time. Based on some videos I've seen they're doing more than just laying out tools. One for example was an avionics install and the owner/builder was...

This was brought up on one of his videos a long time ago. If I remember correctly he stated it didn't fit his 'vision' for the Raptor. He essentially built everything around this auto-conversion.

Not much you can do on a certified bird. I've watched a few of their builds and I think to be overly excited about strange stuff is their thing.

My cousins are all pilots and all over 6' 4"... I've had two of them in my 10 at the same time, no issues. Back is apparently has more room than the front.

Sounds like you're the test pilot that Peter needs!

No because all smart people post on POA. He should have come here for advice!

They're still working on the prototype for the DarkAero, however I watched a video awhile back where they did some wind tunnel testing with a model. So assuming they have a successful flight and get it into production they may be the first?

Test pilots are getting shredded in the comments section. I’ve determined that the Raptor is not a plane but rather a religion.

I think the concern is if something happens if something happens during the climb out, on where he can do an off field landing.

Pretty much how it is, assume that's why they have an A&P assisting. I did the same thing on a 172 project, flew that thing almost 400 hours with no major issues.

These guys have done some pretty cool rebuilds. If you're into MX and building activities they have a ton of videos. Looks like now they're going to spruce up an R22. Will be interesting to see how much they like messing with certified aircraft.

This is one of the things I really dig about experimental aviation, the ability to customize to the builders choices. As mentioned the Demo RV-10 is fairly bare bones. Mine is all trimmed out with AC... however it cost me useful load and some top speed. I rarely fly with more than 2 adults so...

Those rules your wife made for you?

If you're not a computer guy I would probably stay away from building your own unless you want to put some time into reading/watching builds. I know a number of people who will buy a dell/hp setup and slap a new video card in. Flight controls and the like are really up to you. At one time I...

The recommended specs provide a subpar gaming experience. However I play a good bit of PC games so my expectations are a bit higher. Last month I built a new machine which exceed the ideal specs. Didn't want to trash it up with any Alpha builds so waiting on release (maybe beta if I get antsy)...
