Re: Parts and information
That is really great news !! A lot of kits have changed hands over the years and parts go missing.

Spring Bias Trim system
I've been looking at various trim systems like Vans RV 10 spring bias system and rudder trim like Aerosport products. My question is do any of you know the secret sauce for selecting the spring? I ordered some springs from Vans and they seem to be about 4lb/in rate, 3 inch unloaded. The install stre...

Re: Fiberglass Cloth
7781 9oz available from lots of places. I have found that Aircraft Spruce usually has the best price/yd. I order the 50" wide stuff. A little easier to handle cutting. Fisker rotary cutter works well as does any quality set of scissors. I ordered peel-ply from Fiber Glast and am not happy with ...

Re: Nose Gear Failed
I found an old post from Jerry Sjostrand, that said in part, "The torque on the castle nut should be enough so it requires about 25 to 30 lbs at the rear of the fairing to move the assembly side to side" He also said he put a grease fitting in the spindle. There may be a picture in the doc...

Re: Wheeler fuel tanks and new alternate fuels
Alternative fuels are supposed to be 100% compatible with current 100LL. GAMI (??) says you can mix their fuel with 100LL. Glasair used the same resin (or more accurately Express used the same as Glasair). The original was Derakane 411-45. The new version is Derakane 411-350 which has better specs. ...
