    I've had good luck with putting the resin in the microwave for a few seconds, then mixing it. It will set up a little more quickly but its water thin if you do this. For large layups I do this every time since I go thru the epoxy quickly, and it makes the fabric wet out much better.

    Has any one used the X-plane simulator program? It claims to feature RV's among many other planes (as well as roll-your-own). Any opinions would be useful. It's interesting to me because it runs on Linux. -- Tom Sargent

    I have been a user of X-plane for many years. I am running V8 at the moment because I cannot handle V9 on my puter. If you want to fully simulate a flight from engine start up through taxiing, take off and landing, it is quite possible. You select your radio frequencies, weather conditions ( I am a VFR pilot and I fly IFR minimums a lot), aircraft type, the works. Fly with an engine out and still get to an airport safely. www.x-plane.org is the best place to get any type of aircraft imaginable. You can design your own aircraft. It is a great modern day "Links Trainer". I flew a 747 out of a 4000 foot field and didn't wreck the aircraft and then landed it in a 30knot crosswind after dodging convective weather enroute. In summary, you will enjoy it and you can't go wrong with this program.
