Paul, I have heard bad things about the EXP bus from a lot of highly experienced people I don't want to name on this forum. However I have heard very good things from the same people about the power
Guil, --From the time you receive your kit then spend the required time to turn it into the beautiful flying machine it can be, and you visualize. It doesnt matter what you decide on now as far as pr
I have just connected my fuel filler with one of the aluminum elbows I received from Flight Crafters. We used 2 pieces of 2-inch marine grade red dot hose on each end with clamps to connect it. My qu
I have been doing some planing on the fuel quadrant and cable setup. I purchased a lightweight reversing quadrant from Lockwood. My plan is to run 1 cable to a bellcrank on the firewall then 2 cables

After further review it appears ACS sent me AN5-40's instead of -41's. This is obviously why I don't have room for the 4 washers under the bolt & nut heads. Does anyone see any reason to remove these
I have trimmed and completed sanding all other openings on the cowling except the naca vent at the top of the cowl for the 912 intake. Wondering if any rain while sitting on the ramp may sneak into i
Alan, 4 plies of bid are plenty as the flap extensions are not really structural. Just make sure to overlap it onto the flat by at least 2 inches. I dug out all the foam because Im not going to be de
I know there has been discussion on this before but I would like to hear about any cabin heat taken directly off the coolant radiators. Its tight but I would think some of the air could be re-directe
Back to the safe heating source topic. Could someone tell me the size of the door or flap used aft of the coolers to pull heat up for cabin or carb heat as some have done? Thanks, Jeff A258
