Howdy, Pieters-
Question for Chris and anyone else who applied to be a DAR- I see in the
latest EAA online newsletter that the very first EAA DAR got his papers.
Any idea when the pipeline will start flowing and we'll get some REAL
homebuilder-friendly inspectors? I put in a good word for Chris...

Howdy again, Pieters;
I forgot to mention that I got my Sport Aviation in the mail yesterday and
noticed a Piet in there. Anybody else notice that the builder lengthened
the cabanes to raise the wing for easier entry to the cockpits... lengthened
the cabanes by EIGHT INCHES?!! If you look at it, it's noticeable but I
didn't spot it at first. Wonder how if flies?

In fact, the Brits DID steal it . . . the rules were that the airplane had
to be a period design, it had to BE something. What the Brits did was
build an ultralight that looked kind of like an old airplane whereas the
other teams built more or less to original plans. There was a lot of
controversy when the Brits ignored the rules and won the prize.

Malcolm,, I don't have the plane handy or my plans laid out but if you have
your plans , this might help.
I'm a big guy so I set my plane up to work for me. I set the motor mount 2
inches further than plans.
My thrust line was according to plans with a one inch drop for angle of
incident.
I moved the wing back 3 and a half inches.I added two inches to the cabane
struts.
My corvair is a no fan,prop start. I haven't did the wt & bal yet but
praying to be in the ball park.
Hope this helps.
Carl
