Flightline 760 discontinued

What? Why? Dang! It’s a great, lightweight, affordable little radio with built in VoX intercom and I discovered today they’ve been discontinued. I bought one new five years ago for $750 from Spruce.  I was at 1,000 agl yesterday chatting with another aircraft in the pattern of an airport 85 miles away.  All I can say is I’m glad I bought mine when I did and I feel for anyone looking for one for their new build. They are perfect for a two-place experimental aircraft.  Closest thing Spruce offers…See More

One of those Unforgettable moments

Happened to me yesterday afternoon. Around five o’clock I’m standing in the kitchen. The weather has been wonderful for late October so the windows are open. I hear a muted rumbling noise. Probably a Harley out on the nearby county road I thought, someone enjoying a ride on a pleasant Alabama afternoon. But as it grows louder it begins to sound more like an airplane. A large airplane. A large old airplane. Those are radial aircraft engines, my brain finally realizes. Large, loud, and multiple.…See More

Tennessee Tornadoes

Anyone experience any damage? This was a bad one that hit several airports. I fear this will affect all of us though when our annual insurance renewals come due.

The drawing clearly states the top side of elevator skin is the side with 18mm bent flange with the trailing edge pointing up.  However, this make a very efficient trim tab that will deflect the elevator down, and induce a pitch down moment regardless of CG location or electric trim tab positioning.See More

Hi Jim,

Was there some information or advice that finally allowed you to decide on which Rotax engine to use. I believe you are using the 80 hp.

Regards,

Perry
