To my point, then the highest flight time HS should be cracked...not the case though. NOT THE CASE!

If that's a possiblity then why not inspect the right side rear spar outboard hinge too. If its cyclical fatigue then the highest time rear spar web should be cracked too...however, that's not the case. Respectfully, I disagree with your statement.

Unfortunately, in our EAB world, when one builder's poor/lack of craftsmanship, we pay the price!!

Regarding this latest bulletin from Vans, I believe it has to do with the affected rivet holes not adequately deburred. I have seen the effects of aluminum structure that wasn’t being properly filed smooth and surfaces finished. The results are these ‘stress cracks’ that emanate from...

Hello, I’m looking for an airport around Cedar Rapid Iowa that has a courtesy car. thanks!

My four years old KX 125 has a comm flip flop that I have to push twice to get it ‘flip’… Any thoughts if this will eventually fail and require repairs? Please chime in and share your experience/knowledge. Thanks in advance. (I bought it brand new from Spruce, 4 years ago.)

Please advise on a good source for buying BD5 drawings and or plans. Thanks!

Usually, out sourced product will lose that tribal knowledge transfer. I have seen it in so many products where that human touch is involved. If true, glad they are bringing it back from India or wherever.

Hello, I’ve been flying my RV6 for nearly two decades, and have yet to try a max ceiling flight. I do have oxygen on board and am IFR rated. How should I inform/request ATC to perform a max ceiling flight? Thanks in advance for useable suggestions. (Please spare your sarcasms.)

Well thanks to all who responded. I will not use paint stripper on my fiberglass parts. Cheers!

Sorry, but I’m not following the reference photos… Do you suggest scuffing the surface then paint? Do not strip the paint?

Just a feeler…

I have fiberglass wheel pants that I need to remove the paint. Please recommend what paint stripper I should use. Thanks.

If the FAA finds out, your pilots license will be revoked!

Thanks for that, I never knew how low pressure affected the whole assembly. Appreciated.

I’m more concerned with the engine mount being vibrated due to the flat tire rolling down the runway.

In my RV6, while landing my left gear tire went flat. The roll out (just like a car with a flat) became bumpy but I was able to exit off on to the taxi way. I will perform a visual inspection of the gear leg and engine mount/hardware for any movements etc. Anything else I should look for...

Hello Builders, I saw this MM $1000 project for sale on Barnstormers. Is this a real sale or a scam? Let me know before I drive across the country in seeking a deal that isn’t real. Thanks!
