You might have better luck sending a Private Message to David Leiting (see post #96, above, and click on his name). If that doesn't work, you might try calling the phone number that Cory listed in...

If you'd like to use a spreadsheet but don't wish to endure Microsoft's arm-twisting, there are a couple of very capable open-source (free) alternatives that would do the job admirably. Both contain...
A quick Google search produced these five options:
Xometry
Shapeways
Hubs
CraftCloud
Since you mentioned that you're new to torque wrenches, these three videos are worth watching. The guy is a bit salty, but he's right on the money with respect to how these tools work and how to get...
Yeah, I know, but hope springs eternal.
Well, you're in quite a pickle. Leaving aside Jim Campbell's unreadable writing style, his unhinged attacks on AOPA, his ugly class envy of Mark Baker and his antagonistic, unhelpful and legally...
Great stuff, Ron! Thanks for taking the time to scan and post those photos.
Jon Croke at HomebuiltHELP built an Affordaplane and documented the process in 51 videos on YouTube. The first video in the series can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVxPq204jnY
The other thread that Meagan mentioned is here. There is some additional discussion and detail there.
Thanks again, Meagan, for engaging with the membership on this.

The 2020 cancellation presented an opportunity to do this, but it wasn't taken and likely wasn't even considered.
I attended AirVenture for two days in 2012 -- a pilgrimage of sorts -- when it was...
Ron, you're truly one of the highlights of this forum. Keep up the good work, my friend!
He's the same guy who drives up the shoulder in a traffic backup, passing everyone who's safely waiting until they reach the exit ramp. He's more important than you are (or thinks he is). Probably...
I would imagine that production shops would want DXF files, not native Solid Edge. No idea if the Maker version of Solid Edge can export DXF...
Thanks, Meagan. I appreciate your thorough answers!
Yeah, there's a bit of confusion. The EAA email links to a page on the EAA website that says, "Download Solid Edge Maker & Community Edition." Father down the page it says that EAA members get a...
Very cool, Ron. Well done. One family with two little girls spent quite a lot of time at your airplane and the booth. Your Fly Baby might have hooked a couple of future pilots!
I received this email from EAA today, which I presume means the end of EAA's relationship with SOLIDWORKS:
A New CAD Program for EAA Members
EAA has partnered with Siemens to offer...
Yep, sure enough! Sorry for the misdirect.
If you search the Apple App Store for "FltPlan Go for iPad" it doesn't show up. If you just search for "FltPlan Go" you only see the iPhone app. If...
Unless you're willing to look at one of the aviation-specific portable GPS/mapping units (e.g. AvMap, Garmin, iFly), there's really very little option other than one of the tablet products on the...
PM sent.
Excellent; very glad to hear it. Welcome to the club!
Please don't be embarrassed. We all had a first flight at some point. Some were early in life, others later. I'm no psychologist, but my impression from talking to nervous airline passengers is...
