you cannot get a quality clean canopy with only micromesh because it smears and does not pickup the grime. micromesh is good for the first pass to get the bugs, leave it wet and then come back with soft cotton (used white t-shirt) to make it sparkle. 10 yrs, novus 1. https://i.postimg.cc/1z2xQBKN/IM...

headset holder, mounted with 3M Dual Lock, going on 2 1/2 years. dog stake weight = 1.1 lb. scuffing the plastic seems to have made a huge difference.

RV8 - aircraft down - final report -N184DJ well, even though he was a doper, it was ruled not a factor by the NTSB. he was just stupid. however, we are beginning to see these dopers do stupid things even though they are not under the influence. the other example was the RV-10 golden gate sight-seein...

RV6A - aircraft down - final report - N646RV well, they could not determine why the engine failed. if I remember correctly, they had recently purchased this aircraft, and this was their first trip. fully loaded the RV6 glides like a rock and the pilot turned away from his landing spot. when he did t...

RV9A down - final report - N192MH well, this is a classic example of spatial disorientation, losing control and exceeding Vne and breaking up in-flight. RV aircraft are especially susceptible to this because they are relatively clean airframes and delicate machines. the pilot must maintain control. ...

I clocked at least 55 miles today and it felt good, no straining or burning legs. my wife says it is nothing unless it's 75 miles. I like ...

print head thermal runaway (foreground).... it doesn't happen very often, but it can happen. it was subtle enough that the safety did not catch it. it became progressively worse until at top it began to smoke the part. be careful with these 3D printers.

Piqua OH (I17, Hartzell Field) to Troy OH (1WF, Waco Field) ... on a bike. I ate too much and had a nice Waco Museum tour by a beautiful lady.
