Re: OSH 2021

There’s an excellent chance that Mrs Thermos and I will be there…but we’ll need a ride as we’ll be flying in! :)

Arrive whenever you want, food will be ready around noon. If wx is not so good, we'll slide to Sunday, 8 October. As some of you know, it’s been a challengin...

Re: Tips on trimming the forward end of the cowl?

Bruce - yes, thanks, that's exactly what I was referring to. Following your suggestions, and some tips from Dan Horton on TOS, today I managed to get a good start at a trim line across the front.

Tips on trimming the forward end of the cowl?

Hi all, I'm a little stuck on how to trim the forward end of the cowl. I've looked at how the Bruces - Hill and Swayze :) - did it on their websites, but a few questions remain - What's the purpose of leveling the top cowl? What am I leveling it to? Seems to me that it only fits one way across the t...

We'll be there too with some other good local brews! And now that my medical is all squared away, I might be able to make the Bungalow as well...just not in an RV :roll:

1 Oct chili fly-in at 1P1 canceled

Hello friends,

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’re forced to cancel the chili fly-in at 1P1 on 1 October. It’s unlikely we’ll be able to reschedule this fall, so we hope to catch up with you in the Spring.

Re: The "Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields" website

I'll second that. I've spent a lot of time enjoying Paul's hard work! Kinda sad, though, when the airport you learned to fly at ends up on the website -

Gone for awhile

Hi all!

I've been away for awhile, it's time to jump back in...I've been so busy on the RV and at work and home that I completely lost track of everything going on at RB!

Hopefully we'll see a bunch of you at Oshkosh next week...

Re: Machine screw drives

Aren't screws specifically called out as being structural or non-structural? Some screws like AN509 are specifically called out as "structural machine screws" while the AN515s that hold the RV-7 seat pans in place aren't labeled "structural". Same goes for the AN507s that hold inspection plates in p...

Correcting a dimpling screwup

Hi all, When dimpling the upper forward fuselage skin - the one in front of the canopy - I inadvertently grabbed my #4 dimple die set and dimpled 7-8 holes on the aft edge of the skin. Fortunately, I realized my mistake before I did the whole edge! The dimples are well-formed, but they're just a lit...
