Prop hub/Cowling alignment spacer methods?
Hello All, I'm ready to start on my engine cowling and after looking over the plans I see the spacer dimensions listed in the plans. It says to use particle board but after looking things over I'm not sure how to make the spacer. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to fabricate the spacer? Tha...

Re: Inspections
Hi Robbie, please don't take offense to me asking if this is your first project. My thought when asking was that I've seen many people who are repeat builders gather lots of outside input for their first (and maybe second) build projects, but as experience is gained and multiple aircraft are finishe...

Re: Inspections
I'm not an FAA employee or a DAR, but to the best of my knowledge there are no legal requirements to have anything checked prior to your airworthiness inspection in order to get the actual airworthiness certificate. Genearlly speaking however, it's never a bad idea to have things looked over prior t...

Re: Why the Sonex?
The first homebuilt I'm a partner in took the better part of two decades to build. It was a "typical" 1200 hour build that took over 5000 hours to build. So, my list for the Waiex includes: 1. Quick and easy to build. I think I will end up taking right around 1200 hours to get my plane rea...

Re: ONEX tri gear
Wow, those fiberglass wingtips are HUGE. Wingtips...or white paint? I believe those are fiberglass wing extensions to provide additional wing area for slower stalls. I think I read about them on the same post when Sonex was talking about raising the canopy. If I'm mistaken, someone please correct m...

Re: ONEX tri gear
The Onex looks great! I can really see the tri gear becoming really popular for a lot of people. I'll be honest and say I haven't been the biggest fan of the looks of the tri gear Sonex but the Onex looks pretty good! Looks like it's getting close to finished too...

Re: Oshkosh Airventure 2011
Sounds like it's been a rough morning up there. It's been IFR most of the morning and when the field finally went MVFR an hour ago an F-16 landed on 36L, over ran the runway and collapsed it's nose gear. I think they finally now are letting people land on 36R. Hopefully this afternoon is better...

Re: Oshkosh Airventure 2011
I've been hearing that the weather all morning has been MVFR/IFR with some pretty heavy rain at times. It looks like there may be some more storms this afternoon as well.
Tomorrow is supposed to be nice... I'll keep my fingers crossed that today is the only bad day.

Re: Oshkosh Airventure 2011
Glad you made it home safely Kip. I see the forecast for OSH shows that warm front going through tomorrow afternoon, so you probably made a wise decision!
