    Peter, Sorry to hear of the damage but hats off to you for your "let's get on with the repairs" attitude. Beautiful airplane. Any idea why the engine stopped? Looking forward to hearing about your repairs as they progress.

    I located a GN 1 project in AZ its the biplane configuration of the GN-1 Skycamper .Are there any builders in the Pheonix area that may be able to check it out for or with me, if I need the help? I have no experience in evaluating a build and less in evaluating a bi plane, the fuse is covered and all builders notes are available. Pretty much all I klnow at this point! Please advise John

    Subject: Re: Attaching Leading Edge to Rib
    Is amazing when we build any airplane we are bulding a "Flying Structure"... This is why they are light and strong, Light is a must, for flying performance and to have less inertia in case of a hard landing (strong but not as a Currency Truck (sp?) . Dont overbuild any airplane please... any of us, A light airplane (in design specs) can save our lifes better than a "rolling cage". Saludos Gary Gower Another thing I noticed is that the wing really stiffens up once the leading edge ply is glued to the leading edge and to the ribs. Many things on the plans work together and serve more purposes than just what might be first apparent.

    Glad you had a good first flight and too bad about the second one however looking at it on the positive side ,you have a nice hole in the front of the wing for a landing light if you should decide to install one there.Good luck on your next flight after you get everything sorted out.Looking forward to hearing about it.Looking forward to hearing what your engine problems were as well.Since we all use engines it's a good idea to find out what others have run into as far as troubles go.Keep em flyin!

    Subject: First (and second) Flight
    Nice one Harvey, I'll have to equip it for Night VFR. With regard to the engine stopping, I have been having problems with the mixture at idle and I think I have let my idle setting get too low. When I pulled back on the power the idle would have slowed the prop a lot, getting it too slow would cause the prop/engine to stop. As I said before, don't fly unless everything is working as it should. There is "Experimental" and "I'll just try this!"
