Thanks Howard. Sadly I'm unable to make it to Oshkosh this year. Do you know John's schedule yet?

Thanks Howard. Sadly I'm unable to make it to Oshkosh this year. Do you know John's schedule yet?
It's been another week ... what did you decide to do?
John will undoubtedly weigh in on this, but Kickstarter relented. :-) I just got this not about 30 minutes ago.

It's finally happened. *Kickstarter changed their mind, and we've been ...
Just this morning I was thinking that a powered drag reduction system will make a great speed brake when you need it, too. :-)
Hey Howard, can I pledge (and then of course provide) a series of small donations over time? That will add up too.
Only slightly askew ... Just watched the Tuskeegee video on the EAA site: http://bcove.me/18kjb3oh. Isn't that Ronald Reagan narrating?
You're inspiring, Eric. :-) With the goal of furthering the discussion ... what are your actual mission requirements? Would a sensible selection of a cross-section of EAA'ers missions provide a...
Hey John, two quick questions.
1. What can you tell us about the engine and prop, now that Synergy has them? Any interesting issues with diesel, any new insights on using air pressure as a...
Quite likely in this case you could still drive to the airport, where you could get a fix or a waiver or whatever. If you hold the repairman certificate, you could of course fix it (and document it)...
Chad, I'm unfortunately not an expert -- and probably not even a page ahead in anyone's documentation -- on anything really interesting. I can probably squeeze a few hours each month to write...
Do we really not want to print interesting articles from the Homebuilder's Corner thread on the forum? Every week I see enough material here in our little chat-room of the sky to fill quite a few...
Agreed. Something seems amiss. Here's some results from dumping it into a spreadsheet. ... Transcription error?

How about changing the load to "440 lbs with full fuel?"
FWIW, SketchUp is free-hand drawing software. It's great if you're an artist already. Autodesk's 123D is what you'd be looking for here. It's a decent free 3d CAD program. But it's not...
IMHO, Sonex missed a bet here. They should instead test the CAD/CNC designs internally to vet the work and the output, work with the guy to make them the best possible for Sonex, then buy them. ...

I am not a lawyer and this is only my personal opinion!
This information is free and worth every cent you paid for it.

Even if you can't make your CAD/CNC files for someone...
If you're in middle school, maybe an overview of the many kinds of things that *can* fly, from Jetman to jumbo jet.
If you're in secondary school, maybe something about barnstorming and how it...
I left out a couple of important points from my post yesterday. (Sleep probably really does help.) :-)
First, while I did say "no one approves", I neglected to say, " ... but everyone attests." ...
Sorry about the delay replying. It's been a crazy month.
The OS model makes sense, but you must first abandon the idea that anyone approves anything. Let me say it again. No .. one .....
Better yet, find someone else also itching to build and who doesn't have all your skills and equipment. Either become partners or do two airplanes. Or both.
So if a club or builder had the right numerically-controlled equipment, and previously proven and approved plans, and documented properly each and every nut bold, wire, screw, assembly, etc. then it...

Pat ... bravo. :-)
I'd love to hear what you really think (or thought.) I love the idea of EAA design / build /fly challenges. After all, we are the experts. I especially like the idea of...
Bill, please contact John off-list and ask to join our working group. Our initial thoughts were leaning toward wood. It looks like you have a lot of value to add to our discussion.
John,
Please add me to your off-list discussion. richard@ytivarg.com
Jonathan,
Thanks for joining up. However, I too am leery of "let's get organized and steer" rhetoric. The fear of...
