Thanks again, John for your suggestion... Hey Jeff, No problem. Glad to hear you had good results! Regards, John Lawton Dunlap, TN (TN89) N245E - Flying - Mod 72 complete and back flying PS - Congrat
My understanding is that preventing the air going over the flap, in cruise, reduces drag, resulting in higher cruise speed, which I have experienced. I don't have the engineering background to comple
Good point. I spoke to the Airmaster guys a few years ago and they told me they spent a lot of time looking for the right blades. Warp were far --From ideal, the design of the prop was for ragwing mi
I typically fly 2 legs of 400 nm in the 8000 ~ 12,000' Greetings team, On a recent 758 nm cross country I saw a TAS of 146 kts at 9500' burning 4.6 gph with my Jab 3300. This was with my wife Susan a
Glider pilots who have practiced winch failures at such a low height will know that 180 degree turns are killers. Anything under 500 feet and the only safe option is to land sraight ahead - sometimes
Greetings Team, John, It's worth perhaps making the point that trees make a fairly reasonable place to land in an emergency. Over 90% of those force landing in trees survive - beats landing in a hous
Greetings team, As I read through the various theories of why the pin holes elongate I'm left with a question that nobody seems to be asking (or maybe somebody did ask and I missed it). This is a lit
At this time, we don't know that any wear (if it was actually present) did cause the flutter. The AAIB/PFA may decide that the evidence shows that it did but they haven't, to my knowledge, announced
antenna placement So, we're talking about an average handful of milliwatts here rec'd by our body. Like trying to heat food in the microwave by turning it on for just 2 seconds each hour. In a week,
I have a couple of Lightspeed 15xc's which work just fine. At $350 USD, the price wasn't bad, either. Don't know if they are still available, though... Hey Jeff, I will echo what you've said about Li
Greetings team, Someone in the Ximango community passed along this link for exhaust manifold coating to prevent corrosion and I thought it might be of interest to some folks here. I'm told it cost ab
Hey Guys, Add me to the Rough River list. I'll be arriving by air, weather permitting. Not sure what day yet. Probably Saturday. Just depends on what Mother Nature throws at me and when I can break a
Greetings Team, Susan and I will arrive at Rough River sometime Saturday morning and we'll stay for the day. The arrival time will be determined by whether or not we have valley fog here in the AM. I
Greetings all, Just wanted to echo my sentiments regarding the Rough River gathering. Susan and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new friends and reacquainting ourselves with others we'd previously met at
Greetings Team, Susan finished burning her photo's of Rough River to a disc and I just finished looking at them. There are some really great photo's! Trouble is, there are so many you'll want to see
Would you care to share any precise speed measurements (3 GPS runs, max take off weight, record of altitude, OAT, etc.) ? My Jabiru buddies are getting soooo discreet when it comes to actual performa
Thank you for providing those much interesting numbers. Very interesting data, indeed, and I'm sure many homebuilder will be interested in how you achieved a successful engine installation. Hi Gilles
thanks a lot for that. There are three or four Jabiropas here. One I know of is very happy but the others less so. My main question is do you have any baffles to force the cooling air throught the fi
thanks again! btw, why not use an ASI connected wrong way round to measure the pressure differential inside the cowl, easier and more convenient than flying with water filled tubes in the cockpit? Th
