That's me on final

My son is a lawyer - he makes a living out of breaking Llc's, so it's only a modicum of protection. If you are the sole owner, I don't see much point in it, but if it's a partnership, then maybe. You ...

I have a Vertical Power 200 in my RV-10, and it has runaway trim built in as well as trim speeds. Not sure if the VPX still has it.

As requested, I took some photos today. We also pulled the assembly and found cracks at every bolt - on both sides. I've ordered new parts, but it's obvious that it was just a matter of time. I will a ...

The fiberglass is fine - it's the aluminum backing plate.
John

We are doing our condition inspection and found some very faint cracks around the bolts that pass through the backplate, S 602B. In fact they are so faint, that we had to clean off the primer and do a ...

Hi Gordon

I used Abesco FP200 fire rated foam.

Cheers

So did I....

It included the radiator, but not the coolant. It used a little less than 2 gallons of water. However, it only needed 5 quarts of oil, plus 2/10ths for the oil filter. The prop was 2.5 inches further ...

Every 4 cycle engine regardless of number of cylinders has a non-power stroke.How much heavier was that LS1 engine? Perhaps that has something to do with the shimmy or not.

The LS1 was 15 pounds ...

I think it has to do with the piston reversing directions without a power stroke, but I'm no expert. But, the "wet dog shimmy" is very noticeable.
John

I never had any nose shimmy with my RV-10 for 5 years. Then, my new partners wanted to change from a
Corvette engine to a Lycoming 540. We used a new engine mount, and a new engine.
Everything firew ...

I put mine where it's supposed to be - 406 ELT on a bulkhead behind the baggage compartment, and the antenna directly above it. Photo (hopefully) attached.

Any feedback on chrome door hinges. Does anyone have a chrome shop recommendation?

There is a Chrome Shop on the West side of Atlanta that I used for my steps. Good work, not cheap, and it took a m ...

An LLC is a waste of time for an individual, but is handy for a partnership. As far as the tax man, they will find out when the LLC changes names, or owners. Everything is done by computers, now.

Right. Try Cessna C-140, Continental C-85 engine. For LSA some Luscombes qualify, the C-140 and C-150 do not.

Ooops! Sorry about that - I'm used to thinking heavy metal....

What is so different between a Luscombe or a C-140, besides a few pounds?

One engine versus four, and the Jetstar is probably not flying anymore.
John

I really appreciate the replies, but I was wondering about the fourth cable to the alternate air. If we use a cable pass through instead of the specified grommets, is there a good place for the fourth ...

We are getting ready to hang our engine, and I'm wondering about the control cable pass throughs on the plans for the F1007K Recess. They seem to be off to the side, because it would otherwise hit som ...

The way I read it, it's just for overhaul shops working on PCU5000s, if they get one. It's not a recall.

John

I have recently gotten partners in my RV-10, and we are converting it from my old LS1 engine, to a new IO-540 from Van. I'd like to get some input on several areas.

First, The Red Cube - Tunnel or ...
