    "I have never posted before but I bought my plans right before you did and I can not build yet. Taking a year off.... lucky dude, ..... I have read these threads for a few months and I have learned alot. Now I want to build, but still have to wait on moving in 2 weeks.

    ..... You have been kind of my hero with answers you get from Dust and Slade and all of the others"

     

    Your comments warm my heart, i am here day in and day out to answer your questions, wether or not you ask them. Joe has been a great asker, so that you would have the answers, for a long time we just answerred the questions that we thought people were thinking, you know the ones we had.

     

    I for one enjoy joe's addition to the forum and i am conciencly ignoring all people that are here and come off as gruff, wether they mean to or not.

     

    Enjoy the prebuild, the build and the flying, oh yeh and even the sanding, he he he

    quoting

    in Coffee House

    Posted

    Let's get rid of quoting from other posts ability in a thread, it seems like it is only used for insulting others opinions, like my maw used to say, if you don't have anything good to say "shutup", just wish she used this rule, if we get rid of this ability, then maybe we can get rid of the negative additudes.

    joe, ask away, you are in the coffee house having coffee with friends and not only do you get the answer, all other wannabees and "new builders" and experienced builders do to.

     

    I am with you on searches, I am very computer literate and have performed searches for a LONG time and they are very labor intentive.

     

    The goal of this site is to anwer all of our questions, regardless of the fact that a search could find it elsewhere.

     

    your prebuild question on the instrument panel just found a stupid error we did on the nose gear and we are now fixing it.

    First Order Chapters 4-9

    in General & Prebuild

    Posted

    chapter nine, main landing gear - ORDER THIS PART months before you need, common to have a 6-8 week delivery, just like the other parts from featherlite and brock.

     

    These are small manufacturers making small batches for us and as such items are not normally or always in stock, that is just the way it is, don't complain, just order early

    I wasn't kidding on the placement of our emergency crank, had you not posted your dash layout and the ensuing conversation, we would have had to ruin a good dash in the future to fix it, now we are fixing it. just trying to make a little hunor, your questions did ME and THANE AND CLIFFORD immediate good, keep it up.

    Sanding and more sanding

    in General Construction

    Posted

    aaaaamen , aaaaamen, aaaamen, amen, amen, amen read as though you are watching sidney porier singing nit.

     

    heey, i'm not dust for nothing. In my woodworking shop i have paper to 6000 grit, probably 400 worth of paper, i like sanding. i can sand 1" maple edging flat to a 59 th inch veneer with a ra sander, without hardley sanding throu.

     

    I can't get a surface mr barber can attain by his description, he is an artist, i tried and failed.

     

    darn, now i ruined the search for amen

     

    enjoy the sanding

    nothing fancing, just plane day

    in Builder Progress Reports & Motivation

    Posted

    Well, plane day started out slow, only the three of us decided to show up. Dave started working on controlls and thane and i check the spar, perfect this time, and started sanding to attach all of the spar taped and the top skins on plane 1.

     

    after lunch

     

    mike forum and plane builder

    Tom neighbor and soon to be plane builder

     

    showed up and things got hoppin. Tom and Thane stayed in the garage and mike and i layed up tapes and mixed thick micro and epoxy to keep them tapin and then we layed up both sides of the rest of plane #2's ribs, only 8 were left to do. It looks like mike and tom may partner on two planes, life is good. Mike also finally got to do normal layups, not the wet ones that we use on the tank structure.

     

     

    Even though 2 came after lunch, one did eat though, you HAVE to treat slaves, i mean helpers right, i would estimate we did the work of 5 man days.

    Turbo boost control

    in General Engine & Fuel System Topics

    Posted

    we have had a big conversation about the duty cycle of an aviation vrs auto turbo and as it turns out, the aviation cycle is far easier on the turbo than the starts/stops/heating/parking cycle of the auto duty cycle

     

    The auto duty syscl tends to cook the bearings where the aviation use does not
