Weight and balance and fuel considerations
You got it now, Troy. The envelope was expanded for the LS1 canard, and I am guessing that you have the GU canard, so strictly speaking you will want to use your blue outline, but there is probably so

Another delamination problem
Thanks. The picture will still help, but that location is one you need to be sure about. The closer to the wing root, the more bending stress on the wing, so the more critical the repair. Cheers, Jay

Please send another photo, so we can see where this is located on the wing (ie. zoom out). Some places you repair can be very critical and others, not so much, so we need to see where this is located.

Reflexor Installation Question/Issue
Hi Robert, I think you can install it where you want it vertically, It would only be a matter of rebuilding or adjusting the vertical pushrods to suit your choice of vertical position of the donut. Al

"DUCKIE RESCUE" - So Much Done, So Much More To Do
Looking very good Robert. Only one comment from me. That seatback bulkhead joining the leading edge of the wing and closing out your over-wing storage “shelf” is the only roll over protection you have

Thanks for the report, Chris. I was wondering if you had dug out yet, and it appears you have. Sounds like you have a very good handling plane. Cheers, Jay

Spring Fling Wrap up
Great to see you again, Mike. You need to do what I did and sell that airplane (Bonanza), so you have incentive to “git-er-done” 😉. Just kidding, that Bonanza is a very comfortable and efficient ride!

Spring Fling '22
Hi All, Made it home this morning. I experienced “right-on-the-nose” headwinds nearly the whole way home in order to pay penance for the tailwinds that I had when flying to KHUF. After leaving St. Joe
