Re: what's airborne now?
I am shocked as to how the RV12 consistently is the top airplane in flight. Flight schools would be my guess?

Re: scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes
That has always been a concern of mine is the endless liability is presents to the builder.
Is an option to sell it out of the country without dataplates/N-Numbers? Would that work?

4/19 - 4/20 Outage RFO
Hey all, Sorry for the ~24 hour outage from Friday Morning to Saturday morning - a SQL query was running in the background for some unknown reason eating up all of the CPU on my VPS causing reboots to occur (and fear of possible drive corruption). I shut down the site temporarily as a precaution. Al...

Re: Ignition systems - truly independent?
That's why I run a slick mag + PMag. If the p-lead wire fails to the slick mag, it keeps on making sparks. The potential of better fuel burn or a smoother engine isn't worth the risk of converting both to electronic ignition. I believe its well proven the most benefit comes from the first electronic...

Re: RivetBangers - the free site
$3.99/month - get it right! And I use the same server to host rvplane.com, tailnum.com and a couple other personal projects.... I think the only other expense is the domain names (rivetbangers.com/net) at a whopping $25.04/year for both. I do this to keep the information alive. When Spike stopped bu...

Re: Black Otter 2023
It pains me to say it, but I will be skipping OSH this year. Too many other things happening for me to squeeze it in. The RV will be in the general area for the next two weeks at KSGS (South St Paul, MN) and then headed to KBUU for some R&R at a lake house.
Lots of pics please!!

Re: textured floorboard
I was going to order some carbon fiber mat and run some experiments. Ideally I would like a smooth coat which is 100% transparent. I was thinking of applying multiple skim layers of epoxy over the finished product and then see if I could smooth it out. Nothing is more durable than epoxy!

Re: textured floorboard
I had pretty terrible carpet in my RV which has been getting in worse and worse shape after 10 years and 1000 hours. I finally just tossed it out and replaced it with some cheap wood I used as just a template for making out of something nicer. You've got my thinking here though - I may buy some carb...

Recent Topics are back!
What was supposed to be a simple upgrade of the Recent Topics extension upgrade (listing the most recent posts, listed at the top of the main forum), ended up requiring manual database interaction and a little luck. Seems to be back in order now! You can adjust how many topics are listed here (I cha...

Re: finally - an accurate tire inflator
I've had great luck with the $9.99 Harbor Freight inflator (https://www.harborfreight.com/pistol-grip-tire-inflator-with-gauge-68270.html). I have one at home and one at the hangar. Over the past 10 years the one at home had developed some leaks in the body, and the one at the hangar's hose was degr...

Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike
Steve,
Do the tires have any sealant in them? Maybe that could help you with your loss of air pressure? When I used to ride mountain bikes, we swore by Stan's:

https://securedragon.net/ has been a great hosting platform. $3.99/mo for unlimited bandwidth and 500GB of storage. Their tech support is extremely responsive and quick to fix all little issues.

Hey, it always will be too!

Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike
Getting a foldable bike has been on my to-do list for a while. Potomac Airpark (W35) is a short distance from the C&O canal towpath. The longer I have the RV, the more and more I need reasons to fly it. All of the local restaurant runs have got boring over time. Back when I was looking at folding bi...

Re: RV-15 forum?
Bruce,
I think I am a little rusty in creating new forums, considering the last time I added a forum was when the RV-14 came out!
I think I got the RV-15 forum permissions squared away - can you check again please?
