Quick rule of thumb: supporting a monoplane by the wingtips loads the wingspar by something roughly equivalent to a 2G load. You can verify this with some simple math, or a piece of balsa and some

In the last several days we ran solved issues of no-alternator and no-fuel-flow-indication. Those were wiring issues but did require pulling the engine. Today's engine test let us cross off the

Does anyone know if there is a decent way to inspect for UV damage once primer and finish is applied? UV damaged fiberglass is milky. One could pick an exposed area and sand down to the fiberglass.

I am just wondering about the reflexer setting that TriQ fliers are using for take-off. With the recent discussion of take-off speeds and the pressure exerted on the nose wheel before lift-off is
