Would people mind reporting actual performance (GPH, TAS, range etc.) that they are getting from actual engine configurations in their RV's

Would like to go with a 180hp, but given the price of fuel it looks like 160 is more realistic.

Well, we've managed to extract some information from people with REAL WORLD knowledge of commercial airframe construction. Which is what I was really after. It seems the consensus is that priming is a part of construction and indeed necessary to achieve longevity, with one caveat. Industry recognize...

Good info, you say that you saw priming on production aviation airframes. I bet they weren't using "Sherman Williams". Care to elaborate on the choice of epoxy? Any prior knowledge that was the type of material (epoxy) used in production applications? One would think there would be rotational forces...

Good points about priming in automotive construction, but the type of fastener isn't the same. Very different from the low strength, multiple point fasteners, that rivets comprise in the semi-monocoque construction technique. The rivet is very strong in shear applications but the mating materials ca...

Ok, I know there is a lot of debate about this but I haven't seen this point brought up about to prime or not to prime. I'm a chemist, actually one that works on polymers, so I got to thinking. If you have 2 coats of paint between mating parts that are riveted together, (one coat on each part) then ...

Hi guys,

Will there be many RV's there to look at? any in partial construction mode?

If I rent a spam can and fly down where is a good place to park it, right by the hangar?


Thanks
