-Throttle cable:

The A-790 does have the fine adjustment feature. I don’t believe the A-790 will work with a two throttle system. The lock on one throttle will prevent the other throttle from movin ...

You could try extra seat cushions on both the seat bottom and back to bring him up and forward. He probably won’t be able to see out the canopy very well with the standard cushions anyway.

Large scale manufacturers would use a special hole punch or CNC machine for this but I would just use a drill with the same diameter as the distance across the flats and then file it to size with a ro ...

I have the Y stick with a pair of infinity grips, each grip has a PTT switch, a 4-way trim switch and a flap switch. I have a relay panel to allow both sticks to control the trim and flap circuits. Th ...

I didn’t use actual adel clamps to hold the brake lines to the main gear spring, I bought a box of black nylon tubing clamps. I got these either from the hard ware store or Home Depot. I have used the ...

I routed the nylon tubes from the master cylinders back through the rudder cable tunnel then under the seats and out the fuselage sides through grommets under the wing just behind the landing gear spr ...

After further research I find that the G load limits of most aircraft do decrease with flap deployment, but that doesn't make the use of flaps during landing a bad idea under most circumstances.

I have never heard of the maximum G load being reduced because of flap deployment on this or any other airplane. The maximum speed is reduced, but not the maximum G loading.

Keep in mind that the original factory demonstrator/prototype flew 1700 hours without the mod with absolutely no evidence of a problem. And this airplane was flown to air shows all around the country ...

Has anyone come up with a solution to the problem of the oil seal wearing a groove in the aluminum spacer between the crankshaft and the ring gear? I am thinking of either having one made out of steel ...
