    It's looking really sharp.  I'll bet it'll be a real flyer at that weight and 100 HP.  Hopefully there will be a fist flight report before the snow sets in.

  2. Av8r_Sed added a post in a topic Nanco N800 tires available again   

    New post on an old thread.  I needed a new set of Nanco N800's and they just haven't been available for awhile.  I just found and ordered them from Walmart for $56 each, free shipping. They arrived today.  Good thing too, I've got threads showing on my current set.

    Section 5 Engine configurations of the E1 manual seems to indicate if you're in Rotax mode for the NTC sensors, you will not have the temperature and pressure you want.  It does look like you'll be repeating history and going with the regular thermocouples.

    Hi Jim,
    I checked my parts bin this evening and found one.  Do you still need one?

    I thought the change to the heavier duty case was in 2006.

    Taking a second look, I agree.  The way the axle is mounted to the gear leg is different from mine and one I haven't seen before.

    The gear looks identical to my Model III gear.  Note that the bungees should not be sagging on the ground.  Also, swaged cable loops were specified for the safety in case a bungee lets loose, not clothes line.  I would not fly it like that.

  10. Av8r_Sed added a post in a topic Is Leading Edge Airfoils out of business?   

    I just tried the number  (1-800-532-3462).  It connects for me.  Since it was after hourse, I got a recorded message saying it was Advanced Powerplant Solutions and I could have left a message for parts or service.  I know the owners and can assure that they're in business and trying to pick up where LEAF left off.

    Early Kitfoxes had the tailwheel bolt glued in with structural adhesive.  You might try moderate heat to try to loosen it if you think there may be glue.

    I was afraid to ask.  Thanks for the update.  With that news, you can be a happy camper again.

    Beautiful shot.  Would an Avid fit through those arches?

  14. Av8r_Sed added a post in a topic RK400 Clutch on a Tail Dragger Avid.. Rudder on Landing   

    I don’t think rudder authority is much of an issue with the clutch. I usually have to bring in some power in the flare to arrest the high sink rate and then I have plenty of rudder when I touch down. The clutch also engages quickly with application of power so power is there if you need it.
