RV10 down - Final Report - N730WL
well, the crankcase breather PCV valve failure brings it down. chevy powered LS-3... perhaps it is cheaper in the long run to install a purpose designed and built aircraft engine, and configure it like the others that are flying? injuries for both were only minor. nice paint. https://data.ntsb.gov/c...

Re: a couple printed widgets
I pulled the trigger on a Pantheon printer a while back. I was interested in the Oozebot but he wasn't ready. the Pantheon printers are made to order, and you have to get in line with a deposit. I was notified today they will begin building it in May. good deal. I will be able to get another +50F op...

Re: a couple printed widgets
printing some gust locks and I had this bright idea to harmonize my printers so that I don't need to modify the extruder setting when I load a different tool head, but rather adjust the extruder setting in the print g-code. well, I missed this one (LHS) by 5% and what a mess. it shows how sensitive ...

Re: a couple printed widgets
a busy printing day..... I don't print many of the 8 mm triple hole spark plug wire grommets, but I printed some today and a lot of other stuff. basically, I come home, print some parts to make money to buy fuel and takeoff again. a truck like this really catches your eye. the juice! https://i.posti...

Re: scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes
a guy there willfully damaged my airplane. an RV7 owner. a piece of shit. he is on my radar.
when you begin damaging airplanes, it is time to hang it up because your time is coming.

scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes
when it comes time to stop flying in 20 years, I'll scrap it. such a nice bird and trouble free but too many Trumpsters from Empire (Y87, the RV7 guy) trying to damage it. reducing the value to scrap metal. slide up the ravine...

trying an advertised comatose heat level along with the tabasco base and scorpion. well, the BEWARE sauce taste was very good, and I detected tomato which I liked, but they could bump up the heat level. perhaps a triple comatose? https://i.postimg.cc/qqxDMzq2/IMG20240414100729.jpg https://i.postimg....

what's flying at 9AM EDT on a Sunday morning? RV's amount to 1 percent of these. a big 1 percent. if you remove the 12's you are down to 0.5 percent. that barely registers and from a data perspective is insignificant. perhaps configuring the engine to be close to 99 percent of what's flying would be...

what's flying at 8PM EDT on a Saturday on FlightAware. I am beginning to wonder why RV's rarely fly. if you are flying your RV, most likely you are the only one airborne of that type, except for the RV-12. perhaps folks are under the plane admiring the clean belly or shining the paint.
