I will be at DFW at 5. Unfortunately, I am so stuffed with KDs pit BBQ that I dont even have room for a beer. Next time, I will buy. Tim

Speak for yourself, please, Tim. I did not come from VAF, think the OB is a bad idea, and I am fairly disappointed in several longtime posters both here and on the red. It has made me reconsider the time spent participating in this community. You dont get the garbage when you are face to...

One thing that EAA does help with is the Flight Advisor program. I utilized this resource, and I found it very helpful prior to first flight. I wouldn't argue that more can't be done, but there is a first step out there that is available. It would be interesting to see how many people...

No. You're not even close. Read your own quote of what I wrote. "...I specifically..." = referring directly to me. Steingar, who doesn't know me, has never met me, has never flown with me, has said: Motorhome driver goes down the road, sees a guy on a Honda 954 go blazing by him...

No - please don't misunderstand why I asked if he read the article - I appreciate that the FAA is saying "here is a problem, we'll give you a shot at addressing it." I don't have a problem with what Van wrote or what the FAA is asking. What I don't think is worthwhile is someone who is not a...

I said I've operated safely in my EAB for 136 hours so far. I asked what I wrecked for you. You answered with an anecdote about your experiences (n=2) in RV's. Again:While safely flying my homebuilt for 136 hours in the last year and half, what have I wrecked for you? Let me be more specific...

I went with flat black spray can paint now. I don't ever have to wash it, just get another couple spray cans and spray over the the bird poo. Tim

What in Odin's name are you talking about? While safely flying my homebuilt for 136 hours in the last year and half, what have I wrecked for you? Did you READ the article you linked to? Can you point out where either Van or the FAA listed which factors they wanted to address? Builder...

Dan, I don't fly an RV, don't know what an overhead break is (looked at youtube, still don't know exactly what it is) but you are starting to come off as someone with a chip on their shoulder. "Fishbelly" ? "..radio contact with the RV -- Suprise!" I'm disappointed in your continued...

Really? I see the EAB crowd saying "here is a way to have an airplane if you: Want to do your own maintenance Want a newer plane but can't afford new certified prices Want to enjoy all the panel options that aren't available for certified Want a plane that hits certain performance parameters...

The same people that pay for all those millions of miles of rural road maintenance, roads that see a car once every three days. We ALL pay for transportation infrastructure through taxes. Whether we pay on a local, or a federal level, we pay taxes for transportation infrastructure that...

I see what you are getting at now. On the 8050-88, you ares saying you would check the box that says "built from misc parts", not the next box down "built from kit". Well, that's not the guidance I had from the MIDO, but whatever works to get it done. Tim

Not accurate. As someone who purchased a kit from a first owner, and finished it - the chain of ownership starts at the kit manufacturer, through all kit owners. Tim The FAA says: "• If more than 50% of your amateur-built aircraft was built from a kit (prefabricated parts), you must also...

My favorite is "The Finer Points (of aviation)". I get it via itunes, or here: http://www.thefinerpoints.net/ Tim

Good for you. I have never met anyone that was sorry that they had tailwheel time in their logbook, or flew a Cub. A friendly staff, enjoyable plane - it sounds like you have a fun training period in front of you. Enjoy it! Think of flying that Cub with the door open over the changing...

I doubt you will find Surly in CA. I'll bring some to 6Y9, I think Gary might like it as well. Tim

I see your Petaluma "stuff" and raise you: Surly. Just one of their fine offerings below: Darkness This massive Russian Imperial Stout brings waves of flavors; chocolate, cherries, raisins, coffee, and toffee. We add a touch of hops to make this delicious brew even tastier. STYLE: Russian...

Tim - Question for you (or others who know): If I show up on Thursday 28th AM, is there still usually camping room in the North 40 for a couple planes? Thanks, Tim

I don't think .308 is belted. Go with a .300 Weatherby mag - they're belted. Tim

It was a beautiful day for flying yesterday, so I flew up to 6Y9. I ended up visiting with the Frederick family for a couple hours (and Reuben and his wife). The runway is in great shape, I forgot my salsa bowl again, and the hospitality was top notch. I'm definitely going to try and get up...
