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...

Re: 5 pepper breakfast burrito
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....

Re: what's airborne at 3PM today
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...

Re: what's airborne at 3PM today
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. I believe the...

well, the engine needs all of the specified bolts or it is not going to be pretty. I am not sure what you do to mitigate these kinds of risks other than watch the engine overhaul in person. a missing engine bolt is like a ticking time bomb. from what I can see of the accident site, he was an above a...
