    Found out yesterday the flying club I'm in with an RV7a is grounded. Turns out the engine by SN has a crank that is affected by a lycoming SB and then AD from 2006. And for the past 13 or 14 years all the other mechanics and the pre buy mechanic just went off the original guy saying "not...

    FlyQ users...POA Floq

    Have you flyq users seen the new log book they added in this latest version? They have a new logbook function (floq) that allows flight following.
