Marcus, the best way to see if your rails are un-parallel is to use a couple of straight edges across the front and back of the rails. This little process is known as "using winding sticks" ...

Guys, I accidentally found a great cargo/baggage net for my RV10. I previously owned a 2013 VW diesel Passat that came with a black cargo net. The VW cargo net is the perfect size if your tie downs ...

I replaced my old style Champions as well about a month ago. While none had really high resistance, they ranged between 1800 ohm to 2500.
Champion told me they would refurbish them if I sent them in ...

Steve, #1, I filed a bit to get the proper deflection. During my final inspection the MDRA inspector (Canada) wanted to know what the angle was supposed to be, to which he measured it to ensure it ...

Carlos as others have indicated, it all depends on how you finish the

Good Afternoon Myron

Well after flying 32 hours behind my re-worked IO-540, the new MT governor
and my Hartzel prop, I have realized I mis-read the prop manual and my prop
does indeed need to be ...

Tim, I'm 1.5 hrs at most from the Sault, here in Southern Ont. Unfortunately I had left rotator cuff surgery a week ago so I'm grounded for a few weeks, otherwise I could have been up there quickly. ...

shaft, which opened up a misshaped hole in the housing, which allowed the
gears inside to scallop and gouge the inside. T ...

Tim, my MT governor failed right out of the box. The bushing seized almost
instantly where the drive shaft exited the housing, which caused a prop over
speed, and ruined the crankshaft of my IO-540 ...

light grey. So my intention is to add a deco ...
