“The badge manager and I had a discussion. He believes that all pilots flying have some sort of training and badges that allow them to walk on the ramp.” Your badge manager CLEARLY failed the

This is in my build log also. My tailwheel spring is round steel..arc to meet the 8 degree ramp angle. I may end up setting a bit more arc since the MKII gear I have in works is more as the RV6..or

Interesting.. so what happens to the 1 year limit inoperable, Charlie? Chop it up and truck it off to the dump? You remember some years ago when a ton of money was flowing into the renovation of

Troy , I have to apologize. I was heading out to the hangar for a few things and I meant to measure my deck angle, that is, the angle on top of the fuselage just aft of the firewall. I forgot. I don't

Sorry about that. With the tail wheel on the ground and an inclinometer on the original canard template provided, the angle of incidence should be between 7.5 and 8 degrees for the canard. Presuming

Here is the factory prototype Q200 with a measurement on the firewall like Jim is suggesting (8 degrees from vertical).

Thanks to all that replied. So obviously we've just let the Government save us and now we have to put up with this crap. I'd suggest everyone write their congressmen and senators to eliminate or

Problem is it has been a long time for lots of us from the time we went through this mod. There are a lot of variables with respect to ground handling. The Gall alignment, bell crank that Jim

I am required to have background check and badge to enter the prison that we minister. Are pilots now considered "Terrorists"? Probably thanks to 911 and other attacks. And the border is porous
