That was one issue, but not the only one. There have been internal problems with the PSRUs, problems with the spline shaft that connects the PSRU to the engine, problems with the valve timing setup...

The sole purpose is to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually see the pilot start to sweat! ;-)
Subaru engines are also very popular for use in aircraft.

Hi Aaron,
The validation testing done by most automotive engine manufacturers exceeds the requirements that the FAA places on a typical Lycoming, for example, based on the various postings we have...
I don't fly YE personally, but there is a lot more work to be done than just the flying, as I'm sure you know. I have worked as ground crew for every single YE event we've had since I joined the...
Hi Dennis,
I think you missed the crux of the suggestion, so I will try to clarify. EAA already has our names and mailing addresses, which is all the information needed to do a check on the...
THIS +100!
Many of us have been saying for weeks now that a simple check to the National Sex Offenders Registry (https://www.nsopw.gov/en) would provide everything we need to know about a person...
It is the balance that we are trying to figure out. From comments here and locally, we already know that we are going to lose some percentage of member participation because of the new policy, and...
My question may have gotten lost in the recent flurry of posts. I am not trying to be a troll, and really am being serious about my inquiry based on the responses from my chapter and many of the...
Hi Eric,
Thank you for your response. I'm not sure this is what you meant, but what I am interpreting is that even if the background check policy resulted in not having enough members for a...
At our chapter meeting last week, the primary topic of discussion was the new policy, which got a bit "lively" at times (Honestly it was the most heated debate we have ever had in the nearly 8 years...
"The policies we have created are consistent with those in youth programs everywhere. We appreciate the nearly 3,000 people who have already completed their background check"
Unfortunately it...
Like many others on here, we've had several of our long time YE pilots announce that they aren't likely to fly any more kids, and with the small size of our Chapter, that is very likely to mean that...
The new Merlin PSA is sorta like a single seat baby Cessna:

From a physical perspective, I think it is possible to build most of the CX4 in an apt. It is a fairly small aircraft, and the wings are designed for easy removal.
From a practical perspective,...
Three aircraft I haven't seen mentioned yet that seem to fit your listed specs are:
Thatcher CX4 (single seater) and CX5 (two seats in tandem) - found at http://www.thatchercx4.com/
Panther - found...
Hi Glenn,
It makes the installation a bit more complicated, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. I went with the simplest method and installed a separate cable back to the cabin. Here are pics of...
If you are looking at the Onex, you might also consider the Thatcher CX4. This is a single place, plans built, metal aircraft that can be completed for less $$ than the Onex with similar operational...
I am surprised by that comment. In my experience it took a bit of upper body strength to lift yourself out of a Grumman. Simply standing was not an option since there is no way to get your legs...
Both the Glastar and Sportsman are steel tube frames surrounded by a fiberglass shell, with aluminum wings and tail. The construction on the Glastar and Sportsman are very similar. If you want to...
You may also consider a Glastar, which is the little brother to the Sportsman. Only two seats versus the four, but you can still carry 250 lbs of baggage. Plenty of flying Glastars on the market...
Hi Mike,
A Glasair Aviation Sportsman 2+2 might fit your needs. I have a kit for sale if you are interested:

If you don't want to build, you might be able to find some...
I have to disagree, Dave. If she said "MAY have to go" I would agree with your assessment, but she said "WILL", implying there is no option. I suspect when she responds, she meant to write "in...
ELSA regs allow one to take a 16 hour course and become eligible for a Repairman Inspection Rating, and that allows you to perform the annual condition inspection on any Experimental Light Sport...
