Hey Big Lar,
I just finally sold my Buckeye Dream Machine....
http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=453
There ...OK , but it got boring after a short time....it was something to fly
CHEAP , while I was building my plane.....but weather has to be very good
and I don't think you want to drag yer $3,000 chute over just anything,
and fly thru canyons ??? I wouldn't trust wind gusts....
Maybe someday when I can't fly planes anymore....I'll get another one.
I'm having ALOT more fun in my Kolb ....and I can fly on pretty windy
days .....
Gotta Fly...

Hi,
My Firestar II came with the Restraining set-up your talking about...
I had to buy another set for the back seat ( ACS&S ) and it was just like my original
set.....
But the way I have them "loose" to reach the panel....it kind of like the
"lap belt" your talking about.....in fact I needed to make something so the shoulder
straps wouldn't slide off....
http://wingsforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3037
Although the shoulder straps are loose , they would still work in a crash.

| Subject: | E-LSA airworthiness certificate question |
I have a few questions for your Kolbers who are flying with an E-LSA
airworthiness certificate, not Experimental Amateur Built.
1) Did you have any trouble getting liability insurance for ELSA
certificated aircraft?
2) Who did you get insurance with?
3) How much are you paying for liability only?
I'm asking because I keep hearing that insurance for ELSAs is
problematic but that may be just for hull insurance. I don't see how
the liability insurance would/should be any different from Exp A/B. I
am currently flying an SLSA Allegro but am thinking (dangerous, I know)
of building something and want to know whether liability insurance is
a factor if it has an ELSA certificate.

| Subject: | Re: E-LSA airworthiness certificate question |
Thom, I can't answer your insurance question, but I have one for you. What
are you thinking of building? The reason I ask is that E-LSA as we know it
today does not exist after Jan. 31, 2008 (14 CFR 21.191(i)1). After that
E-LSA exists but the aircraft will be kits of existing S-LSA aircraft only,
and they MUST be built EXACTLY as the certificated S-LSA. There will be no
requirement for percentage of build as there is with EAB (the 51% rule). The
manufacturer can leave one set screw out of a knob for the "builder" to
install and it will still be an E-LSA.
If you intend to build, you must have the airworthiness certificate and
operating limitations by the Jan. 31, 2008 cutoff, not just the
registratiion. Currently, the FAA is gauranteeing that those who submit
their request for AC and op limits by Nov. 30, 2007 will get them. After
that it's a crap shoot.

Mike, Anyone can work on an airplane operating as an experimental amateur

Don't confuse PPC and PPG; they are two very different things. A PPC is
still a big chunk of iron with a Rotax engine and with wheels, you still
can't land it just anywhere... and yeah, sluggish and kinda boring. A
backpack PPG, OTOH, handles FAR better (it's like the difference between
driving a Mack truck and a tiny sports car) and really can land nearly
anywhere with just a few steps... and without damage. Yes, it's wind
limited... but now I have a Kolb for windier days. Yippee!
But a PPG is still a wonderful toy for low flying on a good day:

Most guys that have heel brakes find it necessary to extend the floor
pan forward for exactly the reason you discovered the hard way. Any
place you can get lexan will be fine as far as replacement is concerned
for your windshield.

Dana, Not in my experience. Willi was killed at the Butte after a canopy
collapse. George broke both legs when he was picked up by a thermal while
waiting for a takeoff ramp. His wife spent a year in a body cast after being
slammed into a house at Oceanside. Mike broke his back. A couple of broken
legs spread around, not to mention the weekly rescue from the trees at Tiger
Mtn. The rest of us retreated into the Cascades where the glide out was too
far for the bags. Probably a bad statistical sample, but having no health
insurance I took heed. As my sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Wood, always said, "A
word to the wise is sufficient".
I will admit after going through the LSARM class for PPC I was much
impressed with the technology, but not enough to want to fly one.

Boatner, Just in case, cut your Lexan with an abrasive wheel, not a saw. I
like the diamond wheels offered by Harbor Freight. When they're on sale, and
that price recently doubled, they're still half the price of the large
Dremel abrasive wheels and seem to last much longer.
While you can get special drills for plastic from ACS, you can make your own
by grinding a small flat on the chisel edge of the drill bit. If you try to
use a regular bit, it will most likely get sucked into the material and
cause a crack. I've attached a drawing that explains, I hope.

HG and PG (unpowered) are pretty comparable statistically in terms of
injuries. Powereed PG (PPG), OTOH, has a much better safety record. This
is largely because PPGers avoid the active air that their unpowered
brethren seek out. Also, a botched PPG takeoff leaves you on the ground,
whereas a PGer may find himself instantly hundreds of feet up as he goes
over the edge. Finally, like any powered aircraft landing, under normal
conditions the PPG pilot has power available to go around if necessary.
Wing collapses (which fixed wing pilots seem to fear the most) are actually
pretty rare in PPG flying, and account for a very small percentage of
accidents. Most accidents are inexperienced pilots (unfortunately PPG
training tends to be inadequate) doing something stupid, and experienced
pilots pushing it too hard too close to the ground. Although it *looks*
insane (I admit it), the safety record of PPG (per flight hour) is about
the same as for certified aircraft.

I spent a whole summer about 7 years ago, flying HG's and PG's at the very
active flight area behind the University of California at San Bernardino,
and aside from a couple of twisted ankles, neither saw nor heard of any
other injuries. That's not to say injuries don't happen - I know they most
certainly do, but I felt comfortable and secure in both types of beast. As
has been said, common sense is probably the biggest factor.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you can only do the annuals if you
have a repairman certificate for the aircraft you built and you must request
the certificate at the time you recieve your airworthiness certificate and
op limitations. It isn't issued automatically and without it you can't sign
off your annuals.

Boatner, I use a Dremel, but a die grinder should work just fine, too. I
like the smaller diameter cut off wheels, they make a nicer inside radius
than bigger wheels do.
As for the drills, the idea is to grind a small flat to make the drill
scrape away the material rather than cut it away. This is a standard prep
for drilling any soft material like plastic, brass or lead. It takes just a
second to do with a bench grinder, but you could do it with a Dremel, too.
All you need is a small flat to keep the drill from being sucked into the
material without actually cutting which will cause a star crack every time.

All I've ever used to cut lexan is a pair of tin snips, then smooth the
edges with a small Stanley Sur-form plane. The small curved one works very
well. Set it up to cut on the pull stroke. Lexan is very tough and very
different from plexiglass, which will crack at a hard look.
For a drill bit, if you have the knowledge and skill, grind your
own..........I bought a special bit from Aircraft Spruce, but I'd imagine
the local Ace Hardware and Aircraft Supply would either have one, or could
order one for you. Lar.

Larry:
I also have always cut Lexan with aviation sheet metal snips, and hand
sand the edges nice and smooth as I can, before I get tired and go do
something else.
Unlike a lot of you all, I us "normal" HS drill bits, 1/8" for 1/8"
pop rivets, and 3/16" for No 10 screws.
All the above works well for me, but am willing to try anything that
will make the job easier and produce better quality work.
In about a week I will start replacing all the Lexan in my mkIII, do
some more stuff that has been put on the waiting list for the last 6
years, then mount the new 912ULS. The wings are off the aircraft and
it is ready to come home for the first time in six years. By bringing
it home, putting it into my basement (shoe box), I can get a lot more
work done in a shorter period of time, since all my machines and tools
are at home and not at the airstrip. Plus I can work at night and
whenever I feel like it. No lights at the airstrip, and the front of
the hanger is open. Does not make for a friendly work environment.
