Work hardened aluminum tubing increases the chance for cracks and loss of H-5606 in proximity to hot brake calipers and rotors. The Flex line at that connection helps to improve safety.

Some time today, Dorinda Baker from the Head FAA legal office will make a formal announcement clarifying the subject of AD notices and whether they affect Experimental Builders. The answer has always ...

Greg, I am hopeful the wind is back in your sails soon. I concur with Michael. Having felt the scorn of Dick and his Vans Aircraft team in the past, I too see both sides. He is calling in his marke ...

Here is a kernel of value. The Inspector told me If you write and send
the statement of work and request for a new Phase One via USPS, they
respond USPS. If you email it, they respond by email. A ...

Bill, the choice of AirFlow Performance is a solid one. Be sure and
research their "balancing their injectors" instructions. If you have
time, their Carolina hospitality is wonderful and ...

Thanks for chiming in.Â When calculating comparable engine costs,Â The value of a solid break-in can often help with other factors to reach TBO with the rings and related components.

Has anyone mentioned a rebuilt Barrett is often better than a brand new factory built VANS.Â It just might have one less rebuild in its lifecycle but the tolerances are great.Â New engines are also ...

Wait. Wait. Wait. I just spoke this AM to an FAA Airworthiness
Inspector on the subject of major alteration to an RV-12. The owners
can make the major mod. They must inform the FSDO. The FSDO wi ...

Great information. The mass of our rotors absorbs converted energy in
the form of heat created through friction from the pad contact.
Sustained "deep" heat is worse than momentary higher ...

You can take a rubber grommet of the correct I.D., cut it cross-sectional from the center out to the circumference to insert over the injector line and slide it right over the modified bracket. That ...

Chiming in just for the thrill of mixing it up. The lower cowl is an
area of High Pressure in the region of laminar flow. The Upper deck has
lower pressure flowing over it to the windshield where ...

The only one I found on the VAF was 331RV which was the result of a canopy issue. I am involved in the repairs to that airframe. The issues are of value to all RV-12 operators but will be up to the ...

Curious if anyone has experience with repair of crashed RV-12s. Structural Repair references are what I am looking for as a comparison to the removal and replacement with new parts process. My guess ...

For the identical dimensional size, the mass is significantly greater, leading to reflected energy back into the rivet. The rivet complies much faster in those hard to reach areas. Repetitive shock ...

Dan Bachelder, formerly of the NMDO - 9 in Hillsboro, Oregon relocated with the FAA to Germany. I would wager its expatriated US registered aircraft operating and based in that NEW state.
