Re: RIP Co-Pilot Wyatt

I am so very sorry to read about Wyatt John. I know how close you were to each other, and I completely understand that bond. It's weird to think of you without him. Sorry also to be so out of touch that I didn't know this happened. It's not been a fun 9 months for me, but that's another story and re...

Nice Work!

Hey man, Great thread! Thanks for documenting this in public. It is helping me think about this stuff. As I told you a few weeks ago, this is by far the most intimidating part of the project for me. Re your question about the multiple dimmers, I agree with Brian -- split the systems up so you can co...

Ahhhh so that's what's up

Just checked in here for the first time since last week, and saw the explanation to flesh out your text. What a huge bummer. Very glad to hear you are not in really bad shape. Let the bike go dude. It's by far the most dangerous activity you have. People on the road just don't pay attention. Some gu...

I'm in

Hey guys, I am in this year, but only for a little over a day. I will be in Chicago on business that week, so plan on driving up Thursday night, staying through Friday and flying back either Friday night of Saturday morning. Now I just need to find a place to stay! I will be focused on engine select...

Thanks Guys!

Wow, I have been offline for a while dealing with the move and new job, so I missed these posts. John, I can't think you enough for helping out. I am happy that I have found something closer to home. You have to come up and meet the local community. Dave, thanks also for those leads. It may still be...

Hangar / Building Space Needed Near Boston

New England RVers and pilots. My family and I are moving back to the Boston area this month, and I need space to store and ideally work on my RV-7A. Does anyone have a lead for me? We will end up living within an hour of Boston. I really don't need a hangar yet, but would gladly pay for space in one...

To think about

One concern about using a fairing for the windshield to front skin is that anything you come up with will need to provide a substantive chemical and mechanical bond in order to hold the front of the canopy down when it is in the tipped up position. Without any chemical/mechanical hold down pressure ...

Ain't that the truth. The events in 09-10 kind of necessitated the moves however. It didn't help that I had nowhere to build after the first move. I lost a couple years because of that. Antony, It will be nice to have you back! You know, if you stopped all your moving around you could have been done...

Shrinker to borrow?

Does anyone have a shrinker I can borrow to address my tip up canopy front skin fit issues. Looking for that perfect fit without shimming!

I would love to find someone local to Detroit, but I would be happy to pay shipping back and forth from elsewhere.

Thanks guys.

Looking really good John! Keep your fingers crossed for me. Aiming to be back "home" soon. Got the struts fit on my canopy today. I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't resist pushing the canopy up and having the struts hold it in place. No pics, but was a pretty cool thing to see. I hate to say i...

List

Hey John, Next step is a lot of painting (canopy frame, rollbar and cockpit interior). Of the rest of your list the only things I have done are the steps (though didn't rivet them in yet so don't keep bumping into them) and flap motor, rod. What do you mean by firewall doublers for electronics? I ha...
