Clarification: You, or anyone else, may maintain as Experimental Aircraft without the Repairman Certificate. The Repairman Certificate allows you to perform and sign off the annual condition...
Since much of the audience on this forum deals with Experimental Aircraft, it might be prudent to mention that IA is not required to sign off the Annual Condition Inspection for most Experimental...
That is correct.
Typically this interview is pretty straight forward. Show him/her a checklist that you will use to perform the condition inspection. If you have shown adequate proof that you built the airplane,...
NO. An electrical system under these circumstances is defined as having a battery and an engine driven generator/alternator. If you are running a constant loss system, as it seems you are, then you...
If they would just change the stall limit to VS0, it would include most RVs and a lot of other aircraft. VS1 is not a typically "spec'd" limit.
Yes! They DO read the comments.
You are correct. This is one point that a lot of people aren't real happy about. This also rules out much of the RV line.
If the aircraft meets LSA parameters then it may be flown by a Sport-Pilot with a valid drivers license and no medical.
You might also consider how high the wingtip goes if the opposite tires goes flat. And while you're at it, consider how high you can lift that wing to change a flat tire.
So many things to think...
You can apply to the North Texas FSDO or a DAR.
You will need to apply to have your Operating Limitations amended to include the new paragraph allowing the new Task Based program.
I will say this. Back in the day, I was a dealer for Spitfire Ultralights. I ran quite a few Rotax 503s. I found that the single carb version put out the same hp as the dual carb version. The only...
Good research. Be very careful about using components from certified aircraft on the Wag-A-Bond. It can be difficult to prove 51% amateur-built.
My recommendation would be the Bearhawk Patrol. ...
A good example of this is; Van's Aircraft originally used the full length of shoulder harness into the tail cone. Testing showed that the "stretch" of the material in a forward impact could allow...
A small automobile tire often works well.
Hi John, The airplane MTOW has been determined to be in the neighborhood of 1100 lbs. It is plans built so only a few parts supplied by Murphy.
Modifications include shortening the nose by 6" and...
I actually encourage builders to use different TCs. Different people see different things. As far as number of visits, I recommend first TC visit when you are ready to close up your first item. ...
I think if you had won, you would have been notified by now!
There are still a few places where "logic" is required.
This question comes up time and time again. Some people do this to avoid liability. Once an amateur-built aircraft has been "destroyed", there is no legal way to resurrect it.
You might be able...
There is a "pause" button you know.
You guys are forgetting the main purpose of Airventure. It's all about the money and the public. It hasn't been a "Fly-In" for many years.
This caused me to go back and look at my records. Of the last 200+ Amateur-Built and Light-Sport aircraft that I have certificated, RVs accounted for 38% of them.
19% were Cub replicas.
