KR> LSA alternative
My question is why even try to register your plane LSA? The reg says as long as it meets LSA standard you can fly it with a sport pilot license. Even if the plane is kit or plans built you should not register it LSA or E-LSA because you will have to spend even more money to attend the LSA mechanics classes to work on it. If you build it register it experimental and then you can do all the maintanence on it yourself without classes and you can still fly it if it meets LSA standards with a sport pilots license.

Joe, don't let the FAA tell you they don't do it, they have no choice and it must be less than 6 weeks its that law and it must be done for free. They are paid by tax dollars and can not refuse to do it and they must do it timely that is why the 6 week limit was imposed. He can't make you use a DAR. If his office does not have the personel to do it then they have to pay the DAR. If you choose to use a DAR you are responsible for his fee and travel expenses. David Mikesell 23597 N.

The sensor I bought was the $12 generic one wire from Autozone. It was mounted in the collector of my exhaust. I was very surprised when the gauge started showing it running leaner after just 8 hours and failing with in the next 3. I was told that the heated ones mounted further down the pipe are less likely to suffer from lead poisoning from avgas and would last much longer, but since it was just a experiment to see how they worked I did not want to spend the extra $.

KR> west system
I have used West Epoxy on several wood airframes and wings. I can't say it is superior to any others that I have used. What I can say is that people do not develope toxicity to it as fast as with some others. It is definitely strong enough and people who claim it is weaker did not do proper tests or proper prep work before making the joint. I have used t-88 also and found west to be better for wetting and penetraition to the joint than T-88. Yes you have more work to do with West for filling, filleting, laminates, fiberglassing, carbon fiber...etc but atleast it is a epoxy capable of doing so many things all equally well. West is a very strong and durable epoxy system, now this is when someone chimes and and says it is made for boats not airplanesyeah well let me see your airplane take the pounding a boat takes in ruff water at 40 knotsI have been in very fast wooden jet boats make purely of wood and West Epoxy and they took one hell of a pounding without a failed laminate or joint, that is the thing that first got me interested in the West Epoxy system. From then on just using it convinced me. David Mikesell 23597 N.

What I got was a email saying thanks for being honest and that the Geo is just as advertised and how much he liked it. The 583 he sent me is junk. I have the pictures and inspection letter by a Certified Rotax Service Center. If you are buying or trading for a T-Bird with a Geo on it, DON'T!!!. He told me he is trading the T-Bird and my Geo engine package for a KR on this list. I tried to resolve it the easy way I offered to rebuild the 583 myself if he paid for the parts, only $1200.00 and he refused. I told him to return my engine and he refused saying he is selling it. IF you are the buyer stop the transaction. I have hired legal counsel and I will get my engine back whether you bought it or not, it is considered stolen property.

This is from someone else Scott Mccomas has ripped off. The list is growing, I have been contacted by so many people since I posted this. I included a copy to Scott so he knows alot of people are going to be happy to see him in jail. I even sent a copy of the names to the FBI who are handling the fraud case. Since it crosses state lines it is federal and since it also shows he has done it to several people before he called and told me he had them in stock that he lied to me to get my money and therefore is complete fraud. I will not stop until this guy goes to jail. My credit card company said they are going after him too and that after he is convicted I will get my money back from them. Hear that Scott???

KR> Light Sport Aircraft
You are so right, it is a kit only that will be certified. To me I see sport pilot is a way to get everyone to a Private rating. By the time the average guy spends his money to get trained in a ultralight (which when the exemption runs out in 3 years) by a Sport Pilot instructor he will have met and paid for getting his Sport Pilot rating, then by the time he gets enough endorsements to actually travel around and do real cross country trips he will have paid for and met the requirements for his Private Pilot and seeing that he will get it because it lifts so many restrictions under that rating.

KR> KR2S Sport pilot eligible???
The way I read sport pilot, you can not change a aircraft design to meet the requirements, the aircraft must be designed to be with in the range. Just like no sport pilot aircraft can have a inflight adjustable prop or retractable gear (unless it is a amphibian) because it will allow it to go faster without airframe modifications or engine modifications. This is a totally different regulation than everyone wanted or the EAA lobbied for and don't let anyone tell you, really read this terrible piece of legislation that you all wanted. For you guys who lost or denied a medical, you can never apply for a sport pilot license...it plainly says it in black and white...and if you think you are not in the computerwell go to the FAA pilot registry online and do a search on your name and it will pop up if you were denied or revoked a medical.

that is pretty easy from the picture you had on your site. you will have to remove the lower hinge point and the gap seal for the rudder. then make the cut back from bottom to top of the remaining post. that is the thickest part will be on the bottom and the thinnest on the top. I am not sure how long that piece is, hard to tell from the picture but the least you and do is 8 to 1 taper, if it is not long enough for that then you are probably better off cutting out what is left of the old post and installing a new one.

Glad to see someone else had read it besides me. Sport Pilot really is to no ones benefit as it is written. The "pulling it back" is also not a legal move under the FAA's charter. IF the rule does not pass in the alloted time it is over, pulling it back does not change a thing, the law is actually dead and some lawyer will speak up and it will all have to start over again.

KR>Sport Pilot as of December 23rd.
The one thing I do know for sure about this is the Oakland FSDO office has told me that if you lost your medical for health reasons you will not be able to get a sport pilot license. If you were denied a medical for health issues you will not be able to get a sport pilot license. It seems the FAA has found and has closed the loop hole a lot of pilots who had lost or had been refused a medical were planning to use to get another license. Even though a medical is not required if you lost or were refused then that is already in the system and therefore will show up when application is turned in and reviewed and that they can also bring charges against the pilot attempting this route for as you shown in your cut and paste that if a pilot knows he has a medical condition he may not operate the aircraft as a pilot and in making the application for sport pilot license with a known medical conditon would be fraud and all FAA ratings and license will be revoked not suspended.

Well the crank shaft on a auto engine in most cases is supported by the use of a reduction drive to get the maximum efficencyand I don't see how good logic comes into play to say single ignition systems are and will failbe honest with a modern electronic ignition and fuel injection system that is in every car produced, what is the actual failure rate in a direct proportion to aircraft magnetos that are rebuilt every year and I am only counting the ones rebuilt due to failure Well all of the shops I have talk to about magneto (since I am always doing business with them for my customers) say 10 out of every 65 mags they send out rebuilt get returned in 2 to 3 years due to failure..yet I have had 3 cars all with electronic ignition and each one with over 100,000 miles that are sitting outside right now just like millions of other people who have never every had anything done to the ignition or fuel injection system except changing the spark plugs and wires.

Well I know that all of the ones I have had signed off and had the airworthiness certificates for did not have such a limitation but I have heard from others that the FAA inspector added such things, which he can do. I have seen a certificate issued for a RAF gyro that said "The Pilot in Command must posses the appropriate rating to operate this aircaft" and yet according to the FAA the only rating required is a Private Pilot license inorder to carry passengerswell 15 weeks of fighting buearacy and the certificate was reissued without this statement in it.

KR>Engines - Certified versus automotive conversions
I usually just read but I have to say something now. I have been in aviation my entire life, mostly in helicopters for the army...automotive engines are a lot better choice and they don't need redunant systems. When lyco and cont made engines magnetos were very unreliable so they put 2 on incase one failed. With 2 magnetos you have to have two wiring harnesses and two spark plugs. Modern automotive engines use a electronic ignition that takes years of abuse and hundred of thousands of miles with no maintenance at all.you never work on your ignition system all you do is change the wires and plugs and for the most part they work flawlessly. If you look at it realistically milllions of people operate their car daily, and really abuse it compared to the operation of a aircraft engine, and it never needs maintenance..automotive engines are alot more reliable than people give them credit forand since I take care of several cessna's, beeches, stearman and a p51 and have been doing this most of my life i got a pretty good look at the whole picture.

KR>TANKS IN OUTER WINGS
As I stated in the begining, wing tanks are great because they don't figure in the gross weight of a flying airplane, the weight only becomes a issue during landing and on the ground. AS stated in the begining seeing this in several STC wing tank and tip tank installation you burn fuel in those tanks first so that ground time and landings are not a issue and you only put fuel in them if you are planning a long trip where the fuel is needed.

KR>Ignition
You know to many people have this false idea of dual ignition. When Lyco and Cont designed their engines with dual ignition it was for reliability not a better burn and more hp. Magnetos failed, and did so with great reliability, and points wore out and were not made of the quality material that became standard later on. So the extra mag and plugs were to help give the engine better reliability. Now how many of you perform the maintenance on your car like you should? I know, I know alot of you will say "I do, I do"...but even then if you look at modern ignition systems and the fact that you change your wires only when you need to, plugs when the engine seems to be running ruff or even every 4000 or so miles that means that in the air that is ruffly 500 hrs of flight time..and your car starts everyday and runs pretty reliably on that single ignition system at a ever changing rpm, ran really hard and hot in the summer and winter.and yet it does not fail. You surely don't see car manufactures putting dual ignition on their cars to develop more hp..just stick with what works. If you are using a auto coversion in your plane, don't weaken the heads with dual plugs..besides the cylinder burn pattern was never designed for it. Use a auto waste fire spark system or just a reliable electronic ignition.odds are you will either sell the plane or over haul the engine without this baby ever giving you any problems.

KR>TANKS IN OUTER WINGS
One thing to remember about wing tankswhile the nice thing is they don't add to your flying gross weight because the wing is carrying them internally no extra stress is applied to the WAF because they are not in the fuselage, but when landing and the wings quite flying the weight is then added to the stress on the WAF...on wing tank mods for cert aircraft they tell you this in the STC and give you a maximum fuel landing weight.

no endorsement is required to operate a experimental class aircraft.

KR>License
That is true of certified airplanes. If you check in the Experimental category it says "you must be licensed" and that is all. I even checked with the local FSDO and their response is that endorsements for tailwheel, complex and such do not apply to experimental category aircraft. You just must hold a valid pilots license and be current. They also added that when looking at homebuilts that they prefer to see a pilot with tail wheel time if it is a taildragger and may write into the operational limitations for the aircraft being licensed that a properly endorsed pilot may be the only operator of the aircraft, but normally that is not done.
