Ken,
Does this include fabric-covered planes such as Cubs? If so, I guess
that they just replace the covering more often.

Bob,
I would then assume that if your wife is sitting next to you, then you
and her are not flying. Please remember that _any_ (non-inverted) turn

None of the links you posted work. They appear to have be corrupted in

Did anyone else get any info from or about Zenith this week at
Sun'N'Fun? It might be nice to have more data to chew on.

That's because everyone is on the Zenith-List, reacting to the NTSB
report on the 601XL. There have been more than a hundred messages in

correct that the FAA would not be able to ground all the E-ABs out there
but the FAA (and Zenith) would be well advised to " ... |

Hi Bill,
A SPST (single pole, single throw) switch only has two terminals. My
guess, assuming you have a three terminal switch, is that you have in
your hand a SPDT switch. The best way to fully ... |

Hello,
I wonder if there is some confusion about the rules here. You are right,
