Set it on and old car/truck tire and strap it down.

I built mine. It's true, I could have bought a flying version for less what it cost me to build mine (and that's not counting thousands of labor, research, and parts ordering hours). Also, I very quickly learned I was a flyer, not a builder. Except for the occasional sense of accomplishment I...

Not in the Zenith crowd. What many people don't understand when it comes to experimental builds is just how many separate components you have to source, figure out to install, figure out fuel systems, install separate starters, alternators, figure out how to wire the lyco or continental in a...

The go-to engines for Zenith Aircraft right now is Viking Aicrafts Honda conversion. Ignore any comments on this board by people not involved in the experimental world, or have way-out-of-date opinions on Jan and his unsuccessful Subaru conversions. Check out the engines on Vikings website and...

Perhaps not an issue, or you've already considered it, but resale of this great airplane with a Franklin in it is going to take a hit. Its going to be an extremely small resale market - or the purchaser will value it as an engine replacement project. If resale is not a consideration then...

Not sure exactly but on my flight last month it was super fast, and free. On previous flights on other carriers I had to pay for the service, but that was a while ago.

It was in the plane I was in last month - and free for everyone.

Just have zero desire to socialize. Always feel there is something better to do wirh my time than hanging out with people. Groups of people are even worse. Yes, I'm probably missing an important gene because I understand that as humans social interaction is important. I understand the concept...

I have exactly the same feeling...

The idea of just being good enough, or capable enough, for "light VMC" is a concept that will likely get you and a whatever poor sucker that's in the plane with you at the time, killed. Either you and your plane are competent and current for hard IFR, or you should stick to VFR. Seriously...

Check out the Vans Air Force forum. Lots of info there. Call Steinair. They put together complete panels for experimental aircraft and have been doing it for a long time. They are always happy to discuss these things. Since they build using all available panel equipment they should be able to...

It's important, critical, that you have a clear understanding of hypoxia. I have experienced it twice. Once at 12,000 and once a little higher. Absolutely take a CFI with you and here's why. In both my cases, I slowly and without noticing at first, I just started feeling great! The plane felt...

The NTSB is just taking a pot shot at DG because he's constantly calling them out for not doing what is supposed to be part of their jobs - making recommendations to improve safety after each accident. IMO this is a clear attempt on their part to try and discredit him. If the light was...

How is Hitler's anti-semitism and ethnic cleansing related to SF politics? I don't think you have any idea what he was referring to.

Years ago i was in a similar situation. I made the decision to move on with my life and let her go. It was the right decision for me. I still think about her once in a while. The one thing I've learned is that when a woman is desperate to have a child, the husband will likely take second...

There are short cuts to bar chords. If you can't do a full bar, just select a simplified version and move on. Don't let the inability to get a full bar chord hold up your progress. This is coming from a guy that's "played" (usung yhe term loosely) the guitar for 30 years and still doesn't...

Such a seemingly short and simple flight in a very capable aircraft. This is one of those accidents that just seem bloody unfair. A young kid, just a few minutes in a cloud, and it's all over. When I think of all the times I got lucky over the years it makes me wonder why couldn't he get lucky...

No.

Project Farm recently reviewed torque wrenches. it's worth a watch.
