I have the E2A... And I am very happy with it. Actually I have 2 of them. Really high quality, and come with a fresh calibration when you buy them. Make sure you get the one with the right orifice size for your engine. For lycoming engines 320ci displacement or greater you want the one with the .060...

Ok, after re-reading your original post, I am now assuming what Spike did... That you are trying to run wires aft through the spar carry through from the panel to the tail... If this is the case, surely you can find some nice hidden area along the side of the fuselage to route the wires where they w...

I'm afraid I'm still not quite understanding... Wouldnt the wires be enclosed in the wingtip? Where would they be exposed? And if you are putting nav & com antennas in the tip, couldn't the wires just run to the tip and then directly to the antenna? I Don't see why they have to go through the spar.....

Why do you need to have the wires run through the spar? Can't you just run them all the way to the tip aft of the spar, and then wherever they need to go from there? I might be missing something, but if it were me, I wouldnt want to go drilling any holes through the spar

Looking good Chad... Wood wing building really is rewarding!

BTW Cj, my whole edit wasn't intended to read as though I meant that you were the one that brought to my attention that some might view my procedure as cutting anyone off... I actually had a discussion with a buddy around the airport about this just the other day (we were both in agreement). I reall...

Not quite, If the A/C is a little long turning base, I will slow back and fall in behind them. If I am abeam the numbers, and configured to land, and they are well enough in front of me (1.5+ miles), and aren't turning base, or announcing intentions to turn base, I will chop the power, and make the ...

This whole ordeal really makes my head spin!! I'm not a member over at the Red Board (for good reason,) but I was reading all that shenanigans over there last night through Ian's (tmbg) account. I can understand how the actions of a few pilots stick out in the minds of all as being grossly negligent...

CJ got it right... Do what you think looks good, and don't sweat it. I've never had a problem with glossy cockpit paint

Holyholyholy!! It will be more hassle, but worth it, and we can go get ours together... It will be worth it.

Excellent work guys!! I cant wait until I am cutting mine... Gotta get this thing done, my list of airplanes to build keeps getting longer... But the list of finished ones isn't getting any longer

Sounds fantastic... I'll definitely bring the Sweetwater!

Sweetwater IPA here in Atlanta is pretty spectacular... But Summer Shandy really is an awesome refreshing sweaty airplane building kinda beer.

I really had a great time meeting all of you!! The Otter was awesome, and I will definitely plan on doing it again.

Dan

to the forum!! Lots of great guys here

Damn, that's bad news Chad... Hate it for ya, if it's not one thing it's another!

Fwiw, in my experience aeroshell 100W is about the only oil I would run... The Phillips 20W50 stuff has had some really bad reviews in the past, also the polymers in the oil that make it multi-viscosity can break down fairly quickly, necessitating more frequent oil changes, and it's more expensive. ...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys... I am really excited about Oshkosh and meeting some of you at the Otter! I just wish I was parking in the north 40 with the -4... With any luck, I'll be doing that next year!

Dan

Hey guys... Im Dan, figured an introduction was in order. I have heard about this place from Ian (TMBG) he says that its the best forum around for RV builders. I am currently finishing up a -4 project that I bought not long ago... I am also building a Pitts S-1-SS... But the RV can be finished prett...

Yep, what Ian said! I will be attending this year with my Dad, and a friend of his. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone, and getting to know some more builders!!

Dan (the new guy)
