Flying and building is much safer with this List!!

                        Robert D.



Thanks for having and maintaining such a great resource to

all of us builders and flyers.

                        Wayne E.



Love the fact that you haven't caved to advertising!

                        Peter J.



.a great resource!!

                        Robert C.



Not building at the moment, but the Lists keeps me right 

up to date with what's going on.

                        Chris D.



The web forum has been running great.

                        James O.



I enjoy this [List] site very much...

                        Paul C.



This is a great list!

                        Albert G.



.a valuable resource!

                        Roger C.



I am deployed to Pakistan right now, and being able 

to go on-line and keep up with the aircraft discussions 

helps keep the aircraft building dream alive in my mind!

                        

                        Gregory C.



.fantastic service!

                        Roger M.



.clearly a work of passion!

                        Mike C.



It is a great service to us!

                        Kevin C.



The list is a wonderful resource...

                        Ralph O.



[The Lists] have been the single greatest resource in 

building my RV-9A and now my RV-10.

                        Albert G.



.a valuable and always improving service.

                        Dick S.



STILL THE BEST BARGAIN AROUND!!

                        Owen B.



.such a valuable tool.

                        Jon M.



[The Lists] have been an invaluable resource for me 

as a Zenith homebuilder.

                        David G.



The opportunity to meet (on line at least) many other 

interesting builders and to make some new friends is 

truly appreciated.

                        Albert G.

We made a brace to mount on the bottom of the baggage floor and attach to the same bulkheads and braces as the floor. We did this after the fact. (everything already installed) Worked well only we had to change the lengths of the brake lines because there connection points moved several inches.

I planned to put my Matco parking brake valve in similar to Kevin's, but 

as Kevin mentioned, the direction of the control cable would be 

backwards if the cable came from the top as it would pretty much have 

to. Grove Aircraft just came out with a new parking brake valve similar 

to the Cleveland or Matco valve however the control arm can be clocked 

in 4 positions allowing you to get it so that you can pull the arm from 

the top to close it. I'm replacing my MAtco Valve with Grove's.

Hey thanks for that Paul. I'll check that out and probably go that way

too. Glad I didn't buy the Matco now...
