I made it into California Thursday night. I left Ohio Tuesday morning. It was 4F out in Ohio and Ohio didn’t want me to leave! The airport did their best to keep the runway clear for me but 5” of

I was thinking about using SR-71 fuel. Found some on e-bay. (Sorry, getting a little giddy around the holidays) Cheers, Jay

Matthew should be commended for reaching out to the group seeking information on X-C flying in a Q. Several lifesaving suggestions were offered. Sometimes our egos prevent us from exposing our

Making good progess, Chris. Keep it up. No dimensions that I am aware of have been quoted, because it depends on pilot dimension. I think everyone just did as recommended in the plans. A few folks

Hey Allan, I put that little bit of sneaky verbiage in there to see if anybody was actually reading my posts. I’m not politically correct, never have been, never will be and tell it like it is.

I have the vertical stab attached along with tail spring and wheel. Working on the longerons and canopy mount. Have the ailerons and elevators made with the hinge pins installed. Now for a question.
