Good job.

For all newbies to homebuilding and the EAA, this should be a lesson in what experimental building means, you can do all the airchair engineering, real engineering, chewing the fat with o ...

No, I got banned for speaking up and reminding them that the original purpose was to have a third party check out the design, that's all. In fact, if i remember correctly I'm the one that originally a ...

How can i possibly have it backwards? Two years ago I don't remember a single person on this list from either the FAA or NTSB discussing this with us.

I also recall people at ZBAG feeling like they ...

Your argument would seem chicken and egg at first , problem is, in this case, the egg came first. Some dumbass sending info to the NTSB and possibly getting them all grounded is why coming up with a q ...

Exactly.

Like in a good marriage, the word divorce is never utter, so to in aviation and particularly homebuilding, the words lawyer, FAA and NTSB are never uttered. It's never even considered as a ...

True, I remember watching the video years ago and they spent all kinds of time talking about the hingeless aileron, then said that hinged is optional. Personally, I thought, "Hhhhhmmmm, hinged so ...

Who has the plane that experienced flutter over the power plant? Did that badboy have hinged or hingless ailerons?

Also, in this Zenair newsletter, did this plance have hinged or hingeless.

http ...

What Chris is pushing is that he wants it to be known he's not a dumbass and designed and tested the plane to be flutter free and his implementation to avoid flutter is correct cable tension. Not how ...

Sorry, didn't register with me the first time I read the report. I went back and checked, I guess you're talking about the ZBAG engineer reference on page

First off, I was just a guess on the ZBAG ...

I would guess once the mass balances are in place it would have no affect. In fact, I would think that the actuary would look at the past documented accidents, and if there was no analysis, then the r ...

There were copied e-mails from Matronics in the recommendation? Honestly, I'm kind of up in the air personally about seeing this getting a once over from the FAA. Be nice to know for sure, certainly s ...

Yes, should be titled "Effects of grounding LSA CH601XLs". Like Martin Pohl said in another thread (I think that's his name, the guy from Switzerland) it'll be the most thoroughly tested hom ...

Sad isn't it? Seriously, what happens if they implement this crap. Next thing you won't be able to use a boat. I had to sit through a bogus a boater safety course a few years ago, after having been a ...

shouldn't have to prove the value of anything, it's just what some people do to have fun.

The things that need to be valued and respected by these people are American's rights (not privileges), rig ...

Keep a stressors and triggers diary. effective at keeping you alive a little longer. However, I believe that any Almond milk: blend 40 soaked almonds with 8 pitted dates
Mauritius is the best-governe ...

Just curious if there's anyone else I'm not aware of in the philly area that's either building, completed, or owns a 601XL.

Thanks

I'd donate $100 to see a real 601XL tested to US standards.

[quote="eldenej(at)yahoo.com"]I am deeply grateful, Terry, for all of this work. If there is an agreement to test to U.S. stand ...

I'm building my tanks now. I actually went ahead and decided on my own to put the sender on top. Glad I did. Just a generic fuel sender from Pep Boys, sender and gauge, $40 total. To mount the sender ...

The second tank, I'm only going to weld the drain fitting, the other fittings are going to be bulkhead fittings from Aircraft Spruce. I've already had luck with the vent using a bulkhead fitting, I'll ...

Dan, what kind of fitting are you using for the drain? I'm guessing it's some sort of riveted fitting? I welded that fitting on the first tank I made (as well as the outlet fitting), but if I can get ...
