Re: Reinstall gear fairings

I'll have to make a video sometime. It's pretty easy. I recommend laying on the ground under the gear leg. The goal is to get the pin through the first two loops then you are home free. I put the top pin in first. Just squeeze them together and you may need to "roll" the taco shell a littl...

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for

I'd bring some safety wire. A canopy cover if you have one.

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex

Next up we need the fairing/mount in the tail. We have printed a male mold. The fairing will sort of be a cone shape, but stretched along the trailing edge where the screw holes are. After we make the cone, we will hack up the tip and bond it in.

Re: Aerovee one EGT high

In the picture above, the tabs were bent the wrong way - temps got worse. Here is the iteration where they were about as good as before I added fresh air induction.

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

Adam has some heavier friends and had to get a C172 checkout to take them. 220lbs is about the maximum at his weight!

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for

I think what is common is a strobe on each wingtip, and of course red/green nav lights there too. My nav lights also have an aft-facing white nav light. It might be that a connection has failed to the left strobe. My nav lights draw about an amp, and the strobes the same. I only run the nav lights i...

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for

The primary ignition uses no electrical power. It's basically a Briggs & Stratton type magneto. The ipad will use 1-2A at 5V, which ends up being 0.5-less than an amp at 14.5. We do it all the time. Not sure what Darick has for lights. If he has a conventional master contactor that's about an am...
