I guess we can let it slide... This time:-) Nice pics.

When changing my main tires I ran into a problem with a part on the wheel. On page 46-3 of my plans ,and on the outboard side of the wheel I had an issue with what the plans call "molded grease s ...

That looks like it. Thanks. I will call them tomorrow. I could not get it to come up on a search in the parts store. I kept spelling replacement correctly, but that us apparently not how they spell it ...

Anyone know of a place that might sell just the float wire for the resistive fuel sender? Seem to have broken the wire on my right fuel float? Forgot on install to put that last little bend in the arm ...

When I went through I had a very proactive DAR who wanted to make 3 visits. He charged me somewhere around $400 total and came out after I made contact with him to make first contact and talk with me ...

Not to hijack Deems' thread here, but along the lines of MP indicating issues... When I turn on my boost pump the MP indications go up by 4 PSI. No other changes in engine indications (CHT, EGT, RPM). ...

Patrick, I dug through the hanger and the garage and do not have the 'instructions' for the overhead. You aren't missing much though by way of guidance from them though. On my installation I had no is ...

I have the same console. I can tell you that the instructions are not that good. I will try and get to the hanger tomorrow and see if I still have them. If I can find them I will get them posted here ...

I am using Vans limits, was just trying to enter the data into an app that would create a graphical box of the c.g. envelope. Van's published limits to not seem to change as the weight of the aircraft ...

I have downloaded the Appventive weight and balance program for my tablet. In the set-up I am getting my c.g. settings a little off. Is anyone using this or a similar program with a center of gravity ...

Bill, went through a tear myself, although I was only about 20 and in peak physical condition so it wasn't long before I was back in the game playing soldier. Recovery can put a damper on many things ...

In the eternal quest to make the Sam James cowl functional I am on the hunt for some inlet rings. Looking to increase the inlet area so ideally a 5.5" diameter ring would work, but I am willing t ...

Jae, you didn't take too long Smile

I was truly slow build like you, and my first flight of kit 518 was in February. Haven't looked back since phase 1 was completed. Fly safe and enjoy the plane.

When flying through some bumps the other day I lost my fuel quantity indications on the left tank. Didn't actually lose them, the indicated quantity went from 24 gallons to -12. After de-fuel it seems ...

After my upcoming deployment I am pulling the plug on the James cowl as well. Just not cutting it in the Southern heat. Really looks good, but not worth the poor performance. Right now I am just using ...

Thanks Kelly. I now have a temporary solution for sure.

Kelly, that's what I was looking at doing. Just wasn't sure if there was a hot swap program with the manufacturer before laying out the couple hundred bucks. I have also been digging for repair manual ...

36.4 hours on the airframe and on the mag check I had a 400 RPM drop. For some more background in the first runs with the engine after install the mag drop was about 125 RPM. As I progressed through p ...

Got some resolution from another builder in the area. The 330 has to be set to receive" Icarus ALT" on the settings screen and the garmin trimble encoder settings off of the EFIS encoder. I ...

Yup, that was me. I am looking at doing something similar and if you are willing to share I would rather not reinvent the wheel, and may mimick what you have done.
