    I always wanted to build hydrofoils for my Hobie Cat back when I was sailing but never got past the dreaming stage.

    He is definitely an experimenter and has made some progress, check out his earlier video "RC engine on fire". I didn't see any elevator on the canard or aileron for that matter but it looks like he did rib stitch the main wing.

    Float recall 912
    If anyone has an engine built since 2012 or if you have replaced your floats the new floats are defective. They absorb fuel and then cause the engine to run rich/rough on the low end. On mine one bank was worse than the other causing the engine to run very rough and shake at idle but this happened over time. You can order new replacement floats (currently back ordered ) and return the defective ones for credit.

    Thanks Chris, I will contact them . Still have the factory exhaust with one broken tube that I am getting welded so time is isn't a factor so far.

    Even if the eucalyptus oil worked the cost would be prohibitive. Starwest Botanicals sell it, purchased some a couple of years ago.

    Well the mystery product was vinyl flooring remover and it did not work. Just didn't want anyone buying it before I found out if it would work. I tried WD-40 also, which was of no value. Chis has the best answer, that's what I did with the windscreen after fighting with the doors.

    I have a product that may do the job (available at any hardware or big box lumber store) but I want to try it first.  Making that happen this morning.  Spent hours pealing the paper from the polycarbonate in the kit also.

    Yep, headed back this summer.  Watched that video before and it's just to soon to get my juices flowing with summer so far away.  I went on Father's Day last year and we had some snow to deal with, think I will shoot for July this year.  What a great area!

    Thanks guys I ordered the low priced one and saved the $100 bucks. It's not leaking much and would be fine to let it leak but I can use the project.

    Prop shaft seals
    I have a slight oil seep from the seal at the rear of the prop shaft seal No.950-200 which is a 30x52x7 oil seal. The Rotax part is a little over $100.00 but a seal that size can be purchased for under $15. Has anyone used seals other than the Rotax seal with good results for this or other seals?

  19. wypaul added a post in a topic Turtle deck Bearing   

    I can't say for sure about the KF1 but the Avid's lower bearing works just fine when built to plans and the wing hinges without problems. I don't fold my wings but when I built the plane I did check to see that it operated properly so I would be able to fold the wings if I wanted to.

    Aviation Bill of Rights
    Subject: FW: Aviation medical bill before congress 2nd time   There is a bill before congress to eliminate the 3rd class medical for some types of general aviation. Pilots self certify themselves every time that they choose to operate a aircraft. The third class medical for many is a costly and cumbersome requirement that does nothing to improve aviation safety. For a decade now, the Sport Pilot license has been in force, with no medical requirement and it is clear that there is no risk to safety for private pilots flying non commercial flights.
     
    Would you please support this call-to-action from EAA. If you received this and you are not involved in aviation please believe me, the facts support the passage of this bill. Click on the link below it only takes a couple of minutes, Enter your zip code and the site will automatically generate emails to your representatives in the house and senate. It's easy and it's fast.
     
    Thank you for helping.
