I had an alternator failure in VMC about 15 miles from the nearest airport. I know I had the main battery to use and then a backup battery. I decided if I had to switch on the backup I would declare. The tower even asked me if I was going to declare. I said not at this time but I would like to...

In the quick video i saw it looked like one was feathered and one wasn’t. Both weren’t running. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

246 degrees is cookin. Not quite break down the viscosity cooking, but getting close. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

When your taking off on a hot day from a high density altitude airport you won’t care that the 182 cost you a little more. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Does he mention the density altitude and humidity in comparing his two runs to 1k feet? How about air pressures in the tires? No scientific method whatsoever in his three “comparisons” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I know this is the experimental world, but with my GRT HS pfd, it can drive my TT vision with vertical guidance. If I load an ils from my gtn, the pfd will order the tru tack to fly the needles. It’s pretty slick. I can also toggle the gtn or the GRT pfd to control the trutrack. Sent from my...

In most cases I would agree with you, but the wife has spent hundreds of hours in small planes and wants to spend all of our extra time flying. I am probably a lucky husband in that regard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My wife (non pilot) commented on that. She got one look at the plane wobbling around in flight and said what an *******. He’s gonna kill innocent people on the ground. It’s crazy to me that someone with zero aerodynamic knowledge like her can even see how dangerous this is. Sent from my iPad...

No one mentioned getting rid of the entire valvetrain seems to eliminate a few points of failure. No rods to bend, valves to get stuck, etc. I’ve always liked 2 stroke engines. I’ll never be the first one to test out a new motor for an airplane. But I won’t count it out! Sent from my iPad...

I test flew my RV. I was having so much fun doing steep turns and **** I made myself puke. It was awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

RV9 is a solid choice. Mine cruises 150 true on 6.8gph at 9500. It’s been insanely cheap to own and upgrade. It’s my first plane and I couldn’t be happier with the choice. We also do some longer trips. We flew from Napa to twin falls Idaho a few weeks ago and it can make it without a gas stop...

Magnets all day. I don’t use anything else. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
