Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike

Mt Vernon to Galena Ohio..... a nice ride on a very nice day. I met some good people and ate a mediocre pizza, but at least it was ready for me when I walked in. 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 ...

Re: a couple printed widgets

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. I push a lot of plastic and have learned you r...

Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike

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. Waco Field is private but open to the public. if I were ever to land on grass, this would be the one. the temperatures were perfect, wheels up at 9 AM and re...

Re: a couple printed widgets

I am planning to roll 45+ miles tomorrow. temps are 0C in the AM but going to 16C midday where I am going, a perfect weather day. Ben Böhmer & Wood...

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? that could possibly be a solution if it has good life remaining. cut the price and send it to South America. we shoul...

Re: scrap the RV9A - not yet - but in 20 years - yes

a guy at our airport had a 9 yr old 8A, glass panel and new everything and really nice build, but wasn't flying much (TT probably less than 300 hrs) and decided to sell. for whatever reason, after listing it, he changed his mind and scrapped it. donated to the EAA museum. that's another way out. pro...

Re: Zizzo Liberte - folding bike

Springfield OH (KSGH)... a nice cool day but windy. I was waiting for the coolness to come back again, since this is just April. 30-minute flight each way but total trip was 8 hours. wheels were up at 8AM. make a day of it and look around and talk to people. pizza was $9 and almost ready when I walk...

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...

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 ...

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...
