Another point is don't trust the gas station not to have alcohol contamination in their supposed clean fuel.
An easy way to test is with plain food coloring. Put a sample of fuel in a clear container and add a couple drops of food coloring and mix it. If it turns the fuel colored that means thee ethanol dissolved the water based die. If the food coloring just makes a droplet in the bottom and doesn't mix, you have clean fuel.

Kitfox downBrandon Peterson from Kitfox Aircraft was involved in an accident this past Saturday.
He and a passenger, not his wife Heather, hit a power line going over the Snake river and they went in. N295P was lost but they both got out and were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

There is also a matched pair of pieces inside the wing on the web of the rib and under the cap strip to reinforce these brackets.
I converted to the new style hangers when I rebuilt the Mangy.

8.8 is similar to SAE grade 5, which is comparable what AN hardware is.

My NR has treated me well, no complaints. The performance is not as good at my 78x48 Prince down low, but better top end.
I've spoken with a couple guys at OSH who love their DUC propellers. One guy had a constant speed version and had nothing but praise for it's performance.

One of the early reports said the engine departed the airframe. This has proven out to be inaccurate. Needless to say, loosing a blade will defiantly be a catastrophic situation...
I remember when my friend Dave (built Sputzee the Avid-Kitfox hybrid) was later building a J5 Cub with an O320 on the nose, his research told him that adjustable props and direct drive engines are not a good mix. He went with a solid Catto on that build.

So you're saying the one world order/government types are colluding with each other to control the economies of all of the "western world" in order to maintain their tyrannical authoritarianism? I whole heartedly agree.

Spot on, Jim.
At $50k, they're selling as many as they can make. They know they have a hot commodity. To increase production is almost impossible while maintaining the same level of quality that they put into their kits.
Doug's just a little salty because he remembers going to the movies for a nickel...
