For some reason I've got a gallon sized bag full of the larger A5 sized rivets left over from my 601 build. I don't know how many there are, but there are probably a couple thousand of them. If…Continue

Long Cross Country puts Corvair to the Test
Posted on March 7, 2016 at 10:58am 14 Comments 23 Likes
Flew nearly 1000 miles from Delaware to North and South Carolina and back last week in my 3000cc Corvair powered 601XL and came away with a renewed confidence and appreciation for the combo.
The trip to visit family and attend a conference originated at Eagle Crest Airpark (DE25) in Delaware and included stops in Farmville, VA (KFVX), Morganton, NC (KMRN), Greenville, SC (KGMU), and Spartanburg, SC (KSPA) before heading home.
The 3 liter Corvair engine…
Continue+1 for the Philadelphia FSDO

Finally got around to setting an appointment at the Philadelphia FSDO to get my repairman certificate. The examiner there was very friendly and excited to be able to learn more about homebuilding.

This Week I installed an iLevil AW unit which provides pitot-statically driven AHRS information, GPS, and ads-b to the iPad.
Some may view it as a frivolous expense, but here's why I felt it was worth it:
- Attitude Indicator- I concluded that an attitude indicator was essential after an accidental albeit brief encounter with IFR conditions. I didn't want to add the weight and complexity of a vacuum system and found that electric attitude gyro's are ridiculously expensive…
Viking Steel Bungee Install question
Posted on June 5, 2015 at 8:00pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
I installed the viking spring system tonight, but had some trouble adjusting it and would like some feedback. How stiff should the nose wheel be after adjusting tension with the side nuts?
The reason I ask is that i've got mine bottomed out and it still doesn't seem stiff enough to keep the nose gear from hitting the stops on landing. I…
