Guys, Anyone considering painting their own aircraft? I did and saved myself a lot of time and money, painted when it was needed during the build and not after everything was finished. First was a Kolb Firestar ll using Polytone paint and a Rans S7 in Aerothane. Both planes came out very well...

Flew into Bush today, after a go around because of slow traffic in front of us we landed at 1:00pm. It looked like we broke out about 500" with a very good landing. Just wondering what the minimums are? And what the ceilings were at 1 pm? Dale

Have a guy that wants my experimental airplane. I plan to deliver it to him so he can familiarize himself with the plane before he flies it by himself. After delivery I plan to go with him to his bank and together with a bank officer wire my bank for the amount of the sale. Is this a safe way...

I found a couple of 4" truckers ratchet straps on the highway. Then used self drilling bolts and attached it along the bottom of each door. Worked pretty good. Truckers are required to dispose of any strap that has visible fraying or cuts. They will usually give you a couple if you have a truck...

Check out the Rans family on their web site or on Barnstormers. Several different designs and configurations.

What's RLOC?

Known as the land of the long white cloud, if you fly into New Zealand you could well encounter this scenario. Hold on to your seat. This is spectacular. I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn't have a live video feed from the aircraft's nose streamed into the cabin in order to...

Our World Today... It’s been snowing all night. So the morning goes like this; 8:00 I made a snowman. 8:10 A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn’t make a snow woman. 8:15 So, I made a snow woman. 8:17 The nanny of the neighbors complained about the snow woman's...

We were there several years ago and wanted to fly around the island. The price for a helicopter tour was off the scale. Contacted a flight school there with a nice 172 with an instructor. He insisted I fly even though we just wanted a tour. A little over an hour and I paid $200 for plane, fuel...

My first experimental, a Kolb Firestar II, was "ICED TEA" because I consumed lots of tea during the building. My second is a Rans S7 which took even more tea to build is "ICED TEA TOO". Thanksgiving it will be 15 years old with 1060 hours of trouble free fun. Dale

Just a heads up on a great aviation company, no connections or interests in them, but they are great folks. Sent my noise canceling headsets to Headsets Inc in Amarillo Texas for repairs. Some years back they replaced the headset cords and it was quick and reasonable. This time I needed the...

The simplest and cheapest solution is .22 caliber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have the Parmak with a digital readout, not sure of the model. Get AC model, you can put it inside of a outboard boat plastic battery box, cut a hole to see the indicators since they are recommended for interior mounting . It is over 10 jolues and will light your a-- up big time. It has kept...

Let's see now, you take one of your loved ones for a sight seeing flight, say your youngest son, in your non-parachute equipped aircraft. Flying along you feel a tremendous jolt from the rear of the plane and now you are spinning out of control from about 4000' altitude. You never saw any other...

An Old Saying! If it flys, floats, or f---s, RENT IT.

Well for starters, I would not buy an Ameri-King. Mine is five years old (it is a 121.5/406.) and last week I tested it during my condition inspection on the experimental. It tested fine, the batteries (four, size of a D cell but 3 volts each, cost $50 each) tested fine. Put it back in and...

Jay, Looks like the feathers and small swatch of yellow of a meadow lark or field lark. Had lots of them in the yard here in Victoria lately. Good chance he was along the runway, power pulled back, made it between the blades, probably easy to miss with the tail down, maybe even on your flare...

What engine is in the plane? What rpm are you cruising at? That is very good fuel consumption for sure. Dale
