I'm only up to my 8th flight now but on my 2.4L VW engine I'm getting between 35 and 40 PSI once the oil is up to temperature. I get around 65PSI right after starting. I've got an external oil filter and bottom mounted external oil cooler. Are my numbers a bit lower than they should be? On my first...

Long answers to short questions: To really know if you are getting your desired compression ratio you need to measure the displacement (cc's) of each of the four cylinder head chambers. Then you can calculate the thickness of the barrel shims and the head gasket to get the right figures. I found tha...

Thank you for the advice. I was not thinking about the center stick to sit in the middle. I plan to fly from the left seat all the time. I wanted it more to have a side stick than a center stick. I was going to install an armrest in the middle so when i am flying cross country I can just kind of cr...

Hello everyone, I plan to go with the original Sonex model as a tail dragger, w/ center stick, hydraulic brakes, and built in the sport acro configuration. I am considering a Turbo AeroVee with one of the lite MGL screens. I was thinking about saving up for the full kit, but after looking around on...

Thank you for the information. I have planed on using ADS600-B. I was just waiting to see what the other manufactures are going to do. I talked to Sandia and they are working on an ADS-B UAT. Since I have a Sandia transponder I was hoping to add a Sandia UAT. At least there is 4 years left to equip...

OK, so I'm starting to investigate the tight engine issue. I've seen a post where someone recommends leaving the accessory plate behind when removing the engine. Sounds like a good idea, any opinions one way or the other? That's what I have done the three or four times I've taken it off for this is...

After this happened to me I am very cautious with my canopy, fearful actually. When it is closed it is ok, however when it is open I feel it is pretty frail. This was the new material, on a 90 degree day. It was mostly shut with the latch hooks resting on the longeron and I accidentally leaned agai...

My mags are wired: ground -to- switch -to- mags -to- ground. Nothing else.

I ordered the NavWorx ADS600-EXP on Apr 6 2015 and I am still waiting for delivery! Has anyone else ordered this product and have you received it? No, but I took a very close look at it at OSH this year and was very impressed with the features and the low cost. Unless somebody comes up with a bette...

Yes, my throttle stuck in the wo position and I hit a snow bank before I could stop. It cost me a prop. The cable was smaller than the replacement and it would buckle between the throttle arm and the cable sheath without pushing the cable at all. The heaver cable solved the problem. I am also using...
