I work in homebuilt camping and last year arrived on the Wed prior. Since our trailer wasn't hooked up yet, we used the North Shower House. Was great -- no one else there! In fact, my co-worker...
Anh,
Yes, NX237F is still for sale. I haven't advertised it since last year. It is a beautiful airplane and would make a nice club airplane. The Cygnet is very easy to fly and as taildraggers go,...
PPG Polyurethane is bullet proof. The newer versions are even buffable.

Bump -- still for sale.
Sadly, it's time to give up Zig Berzins 1989 Reserve Grand Champion Homebuilt Cygnet SF-2A. I've been restoring and flying it for several years and try to park it in front of Homebuilt Headquarters...
On my Cygnet, I purchased a used MGL Extreme from an individual on Vans Air Force Forum, as well as an MGL V6 Digital Radio. I don't have the accelerometers, so am using it strictly with GPS inputs...
I'm looking for a copy of the pre-JPI VM1000C Operators Manual. I have the installation manual, but have found some discrepancies over later version manuals in setting up the parameters in the...
At one point, Steve Bennett, formerly Great Plains Aircraft Engines, told me to use 25 % Marvel Mystery Oil with my 30 W oil in the VW.

Ice is $2 per bag everywhere on site (was last year). They standardized it several years ago and its readily available. There are even ice carts that drive around with it for sale.
There is a handicap camping area just across from the Red Barn and the back entrance to the exhibits. I recommend you check on the requirements for access to the area.

I've been in quite a few chapters over the years as I moved around with the USAF. They were all different. Of course, the larger chapters, i.e. Albuquerque and Springfield, Virginia had a lot of...
The new Murphy Radical is currently completing flight testing and will be there. It should prove to be an excellent back country plane, on wheels or floats.
I installed the NavWorx Transmon gizmo and antennas in my Murphy Super Rebel project, but haven't bought the box yet. Now I have to wait and see what the outcome of the FAA mess is before I proceed....
Tony,I have two Cygnets. One I built over a number of years. The second is my rebuilt Zig Berzins 1989 Reserve Grand Champion. It had gone through a couple of owners that really junked it up. It...
I'll look for a nice spring day -- day trips are always good.

Or with the right weather, I could fly up and pick it up!

Tony,
Check PMs.

Mike,
There is a sonerai forum you should advertise on if you haven't already. www.sonerai.net. In addition, its only $25 to drop it on Barnstormers where you will get excellent coverage.
Best,...
Lots of good information so far. I recently built a 50x50 hangar in a small rural Missouri town. They are all basically pole barn or steel frame barn type buildings. I simply went to the local...
One other item to check. I used a Great Plains gascolator. After a year, I changed the filter and replaced the gasket with the one that came with the filter. I had a similar problem and when I...
I had a loss of power once that was due to one of the intake manifolds not seated properly.

My favorite meal of the day at Oshkosh is breakfast. I catch a ride (stick out your thumb) around the North Forty, and walk out the gate by the hotel/Friar Tucks, and cross the street at a 45 degree...
I've been building a Murphy Super Rebel (Moose). I purchased the kit when all the kids were home, but now it is just my wife and me. So, I have a long build, very large airplane with a...
Thanks guys. I purchased a use Pilot Intercom and have it connected to my ICOM A-3. We tested it today and it worked great.
