It was terrific seeing everyone at FOD. (and this was the biggest turnout I can remember--good work all!) FOD attendees will recall that I had an o-200 had an oil seep from the front case of the engin

Hi, Thanks for the detailed response. The relatively new technology is widespread availability of affordable micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) sensors, primarily motivated by the cell phone ma

I found this online. http://flywithsentry.com I haven't seen any in person yet. If it works out, it seems like a terrific option for IOS/Foreflight folks. I'd love if it connected to Avare for us Andr

Glad to hear it was a success! Now we'll all be adding ferrite beads. RF can be a challenge with composite planes. Best, IF TriQ200 ~85 hrs

Thanks Jay. FS is usually a body-fixed reference. The axes and my experience may have complicated my reading, but I'm still interested in the mechanisms you're describing. I found it helpful to relate

Jay, I am missing the details (I knew I was missing good material at spring fling!) and may not have the full picture. I enjoy your usual aerodynamic analysis. What is causing the cg position change w

Isn't the most important thing a good ground plane and the proper polarization for reception via a ground station?

I am game, this may help with my missing Spring Fling. Summer kicks off on June 21st. I will be very much looking forward to arguing with the biplane bouncer about our biplane status. IF -------------

The WX forecast is also Flinging wrenches into my Spring Fling plans. I wish I could have made this one and hope all have fun. I will hang onto my excitement to see you at the next one (Field of Dream

Congratulations, Jay! IF --------------------------------------------

Thanks for the detail!

Hi Jay, Just got back from chasing Bruce's RV around this weekend. Short version: A lateral angle in your pivot axis will indeed cause an off center behavior. I'm surprised it is too much to correct w

Wants to pull left? Probably because even airplanes are attracted to the Quickie Pilot. Try taxi-ing from the right seat like Jerry and it'll veer right! Congratulations! Hope to hear more about it in

Gave the bottom a little snarl for more intimidation. I see a couple of access doors on the top of the cowl, i assume for checking oil and coolant level. Best, IF TriQ200 ~60hrs

Spectacular news, Jay! With your perennial contributions to other builds, I suspect you have partial completion in several other aircraft over your build time, the sum of which may near an aircraft co

I thought I'd post a recent flight video. Jay always seems to unearth lots of useful data by measuring things on the video. I finally found a way to obfuscate his process (excited volunteer videograph

Kevin, thanks for offering! Pencil me in for the 19-20. -IF

I'm resurrecting an old thread because I'm enjoying this spring flying weather (Thanks Paul!) and already getting excited about helping Bruce welcome you to Oklahoma at FoD in September 2018. I haven'
