Go here http://www.matronics.com/searching/search.html Use a search of lightspeed&ignition&speed Put your feet up and enjoy. On my 180hp c/s I saw: 4 kts TAS increase to the wall .5gph better economy at the same TAS as dual mag. Better running idling engine, better hot starts, On second LSE I found 1kt maybe No economy Better running idling engine, better hot starts, than w/ 1LSE I cant advise on the difference between the 2 & 3 models in performance cause I only have the 3's.

I, at one time, looked into this with our local FSDO as I was thinking about establishing the necessesary equipment to do the bi-annual recerts as a part of a course we were looking at developing. Technically the FAA can't stop you as per CFR14, but they can make you prove your skills and equipment are competent to the task on the same basis that a repair station has to maintain its certification. Now that said, the equipment and all that effort, on the list price market will cost way more than 8000 years of bi-annual certifications will. So, unless you happen to be some kind of rejected (or was that retired) cell phone design engineer with unlimited access to all kinds of really cool analog toys that could dial anything in to equal or better standards then this won't ever be an issue. On the other hand, if you are, it won't be an issue until you get ramp checked, then you may have to prove the above qualifications. do not archive as this probably qualifies as drivel, dribble, and whatever else the list cops seem to be upset about this week. Actually, while we are on that subject, I do fail to see why a rolling conversation that eventually leads to a good idea which may in fact save a few airplanes from damage, and most definately creates another reason for us to get together and use our airplanes is not related to RVs and is considered to be unuseful. After many years of being on this list I would say the only post that ever causes me any distress are those which display a significant lack of tolerance towards each other. The rest of it has use, some where, some how. In spite of the fact that you might not find it useful and relevant to the building and flying process, someone else will.

My first time into Dagget was in a cherokee, had to keep it at 60% power just to get there and 40% to stay there after a vertical landing. Then an old buddy of mine told me about landing there in a brand new cherokee delivering it for someone and it flipped inverted just after touchdown but the damage wasn't that great to the airframe as the plane wasn't moving. Who says Kalifornia doesn't have weather... This last trip in CO I got to land on the alternate runway at Ft. Collins due to a T-cell dump and I would guess my roll out was less than 600ft given the slight uphill and 30kt headwind. Did anyone buy that boat yet?

The certificated private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and the airplane was not operating on a flight plan. The local personal flight, which departed Cherry Springs Airport (5G6), Galeton, Pennsylvania, was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, the pilot elected to perform a precautionary landing at Grand Canyon Airport due to deteriorating weather conditions in the area.

Purchased a "untouched empennage kit. Packing list is dated 11/97 Manual is dated 03/03 I think this untouched kit was touched enough to lose the manual and someone replaced it with this new manual. Most times this would be just fine but I have instructions for match hole and the kit is pre-punched. My rear HS spar is drilled and is now clecoed together and it went well. My front HS spar that came with the kit is a HS602 (this spar is untrimed and undrilled) the instructions call for a HS702 which is drilled and trimmed. Also my HS810 is just an undrilled piece of angle and my HS814 is also undrilled but is precut. Anyone have instructions for and early RV8 kit ? I guess I can get through this, but step by step would be nice and keep me from replacing parts I screw up.

For example, the drawing shows the 45 degree angle - what happens beyond this angle? There should be a travel range shown for "released" and a range shown for "locked".
