"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Since I started flying my 601 back in 2007 I have found it to be a fantastic machine for exploring and adventure. I have enjoyed expanding my view of the world by flying over the country side, looking out at the great sights below and taking pictures from time to time; actually thousands of them.
In the past few years I have had in mind to fly all the way to the tip of South America. I…

This is a tool that is often seen in a machine shop to measure angles. I have known about them for a while, but only recently acquired one.
Things I found useful about the protractor that will make it a regularly used tool for me.
1. The protractor can be locked down to a give angle.
2. There is a broad face on the arms to make it easier place against surfaces I am measuring..
3. It was very easy to see any gaps between the surfaces and the protractor…

I was able to leak test the installed pilot gas tank with air saving a great deal of grief.
I capped vent tube with rubber cap and clamp, pressure gauge in fuel line and air hose in fuel return line.
The gas cap was sealed with double sheet of saran wrap.
The pressure was 2-3 PSI and the tank was installed and gas tank skin was clecoed closed.
It was much easier than disassembly and bench testing with gas.
The tank needed to be installed for this…

Viking Aircraft Engines has once again proven itself to be a committed partner with AV84all. Viking recently donated an upgrade steel bungee for the nose wheel of the Zenith 750.
This upgrade to the standard rubber bungee will not wear out, and will make rudder operation smoother. This is crucial in an aircraft that will have a handle to control rudder deflection.
From Viking:
The Viking, steel bungee upgrade, “works in reverse of the original rubber bungee, yet the…
