No4, Thanks for the numbers! I'll forward them to my friend.

I contacted wicks yesterday and they said they have a 10%discount for sun-n-fun.

Thanks for the reply Wayne. I figured that the the hand propping was a carryover from previous plans but I wasn't sure about the epoxy. It is in bold letters and I thought they were trying to keep builders from using anything other than epoxy to bond foam but I wasn't sure. Sean

Thanks for the clarification.

I was reading through my plans last night and I noticed that it specifically calls for only RAES or Saf-t poxy to be used for bonding. I plan on using MGS for my plane. What am I missing here? All replies are appreciated

Congratulations John, I hope that you will continue to document your experiences with us. I look forward to hearing about your rotary and its future performance.

good question...I couldnt find one either..the closest thing I found was a reptile tank heater at a pet store...i didnt buy it...it was 50 bucks

I have almost completed my table and I was wondering if there is any particular height at which to place the storage shelf below it. Is there something that I may want to keep down there and have not thought of yet? Am I overthinking the problem? All input is appreciated. Thanks,

I camped down there last year with a couple of friends and a C-172. We camped right on the field next to the VOR station. There are bathrooms and showers available. It was a little bit of a hike from the runway but if you are patient they have shuttle tractors which will take you around the grounds. I cant remember the price of camping but I think it was pretty reasonable. About $15 a day per aircraft. Go to sun-n-fun.org The rates for all types of camping should be on the web site. You can also download a map of the area with all the locations of the facilities.

Does anyone know where I can find specs on the Defiant. I've done some google searches but all I seem to find is pictures or references but no performance data. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could point to a web site with this info. Also, Are there 2 models of the Defiant and if so what are the differences between them? Thanks, Sean

Dave, I was the one asking for the plans. A friend of mine is interested in the Defiant. I passed along the info. Thanks, Sean

Hey John, What are your objections to sport pilot?

John, You are right about the fuel injection system. What I meant to say is that there really isnt any off the shelf standard intake system that I know of or that I have seen.

I was messing around with the Mooney on MS flight sim 2004 and the mixture is determined by TIT or Turbine Inlet Tempeature as opposed to an egt which I think is normally used on turbo charged engines. Do you plan on adding a sensor for this? I understand why you are going with the stock turbo on the 13b. I know that Bruce Turrentine reccomends the the supercharger but then you are stuck coming up with some type of muffler. The turbo solves the problem but I guess the question is whether the stock turbo will take running at 75%n power all the time. I don't know if the Mazda engineers designed it for that. I am still educating myself about the relationship between mixture settings and fuel flow control. I'ts still a type of voodoo science to me. I guess one of the downfalls about the 13b is that you are pretty much stuck custom building some type of fuel injection system. I'll be really interested in the results you get from yours.
