Airspace is at a premium during the convention. Every bit of airspace is assigned to something or another. The helicopters operate in a very tight box that is carved out of all the other...
Ah yes, what a treat that was. I don't think there are many noisier props than Ray's on El Chuparosa.
I have it on my iPad and use it all the time. Go to their website at fltplan.com and scroll down. Near the bottom of the left hand column, you'll see a link to the "iPad App Store".
FltPlanGo is free, so if you don't need all the bells and whistles, I'd go that route. It actually has some bells and whistles anyway, so that makes the price (did I mention that it's FREE) even...
Thanks for taking time to put together this data Ron. I will use this in a couple of presentations I'm doing this year. Great stuff!!
Thanks Paul. Love your site. Really appreciate all the work you put in. Good on ya!
Back in the day when things had style and personality. I miss those days!
Keep up the great work Paul. Your site is amazing. What a wealth of historical info! Thanks so much!
The airplane is still undergoing initial flight testing and has not yet been painted.
Chuck was a true character and the world is a duller place without him. Godspeed Chuck!
I can't believe that one lousy 2 hour concert is going to make the difference for the people you are describing. If they ain't havin' fun at convention, then the concert isn't going to suddenly make...
I agree Ron. I don't think there was a huge bump in attendance just because of the concert. I was going to the convention long before they had opening-day concerts, and I'll continue going now that...
There is a fee if you want to have the water brought to your camper. If you can find a faucet on the way in to your campsite you can fill 'er up yourself. The fee is basically for the convenience...
I was there in 1970 when they moved the fly-in up from Rockford, as a guest of my flying mentor, Jim Miles of Hartford, WI. Joined EAA in '76, and have been to every convention since 1977. Started...
I second this suggestion. Fuel Lube, most commonly sold these days under the trade name of "EZ Turn" works great on these tapered fittings, and there's no danger of clogging the oil passages.
I have a photo somewhere of the hangar at Wisconsin Rapids full of airplanes stacked in like this. It was a mixture of Cubs and T-Craft, and there might have been an Aeronca or two as well. This...
Great job Ryan! Brought back some wonderful memories. Bravo!
Best to only include the minimum required info in the Program Letter. Program Letter content is covered in Order 8130.2J, in paragraph 4-6 starting on page 4-2 of the order, and in Appendix C. For...
The FAA has a lot of good info on the aircraft registration website. I'd suggest you take a look at the info at this link:

...or not. I've seen a few examples of aircraft built by these "pro builders" that were pure hack jobs. Just because someone hangs out a shingle and claims to be a "pro builder" doesn't make them...
I'll second what Ron said. If your aircraft fits within the Vintage category, come on down! We would love to have you join us.
The fly in the ointment here is that the aircraft originally held a standard category certificate. So even if you are successful in converting the aircraft to experimental, all of FAR Part 43 still...
I agree. That was not a good day. I was right there. Don't want to have to see something like that again.
I have both an Eastern Technologies and an ATS compression tester, and they both work well. I see no practical difference between the two.
