The plot thickens.... If you're needing as much as another 1-1/2", and elect to just accept increased nose up while on the ground, there's another aspect that may be relevant. Most S/E tri-gears sit

The posts to date on this topic are substantially consistent with my experience. However...the surface epoxy is not a substitute for filler, where one needs/desires to fix any bumps, depressions, or

I wonder what the rationale for that recommendation is, given an exhaust pipe is so much hotter. For effective circulation in the cockpit, I think you'd need a hefty fan, which is more weight and cur

Well, Dr. S. Hoerner says keep 'em under .4% of wing chord. That's about 1/8", which seems the way they come out w/o worrying about it. Square corners are theoretically draggier, but at that dimensi

Thanx for posting the details of your installation. I was concerned that defrost may not be effective when you really need it, like a dewy morning before full engine warm-up. How do you scoop the air

Mineral spirits may do to, but I've never experienced any damage to any cured epoxy resin using lacquer thinner or MEK. I've used it to clean surfaces prior to bonding, and I think the manual so spec

That sounds good, Tom. I wonder if also a length of aluminum tubing (bent to the necessary curvature, thus say 5052 tubing, maybe 1/4") would work also. Probably not as stiff as what you'll have, but

I'd further like to bet it at least isn't easy. For the record, 600 RPM makes it sound impossible, but the Rotax Service Manual states only 150-220 crankshaft RPM is needed, or less than 1/2 that on

Even if the fact that the Rotax logo is on his paycheck is irrelevant, maybe there is a trick to it. I've seen people prop some pretty big radials, but you're still overcoming friction and (especiall

Well per Europa the difference is 23 lbs, but full fairings will push it to about 35. That's not much at all for flight planning purposes. Maybe us tri-gear builders are anal-retentive and just worry
