You are over thinking it I have over 300 hours on my plane and have had the wings off twice. ( this was for storage issues only) I have looked at the inside of the WAF's to see no wear. STICK TO THE PLANS AND GET THE WINGS ON. Forget about any wear. Just make sure you have flying

Sometimes you need to be creative with links... in this case the 'brilliant' browser that I use assumed that the second line tag "tSep09.pdf" was not part of the link, so when I 'clicked' on the link and it gave me the typical '404' error message, I just went back to the original e-mail and copied

After getting rained out on Sunday, I finally got out on Monday. I left right behind Tommy and Jeff Scott at about 1:45. Ceilings were low and first but I ended up at 6500' with very few clouds. I really enjoyed the gathering! Looking forward to next year! Jeff Lange

If you have built wing tanks for your STOCK outboard wing with Diehl skins and have any words of wisdom or pics, I can use both. I want to get started on these as soon as possible. I hope to have this done and the Vair engine installed by the next Gathering so I can fly high and nonstop to

I've been curious about this subject. Wouldn't the entire WAF arrangement benefit if the connecting bolt holes were oversized and then fitted with bushings (ie Bronze bushings)? This way, as the bushings wear out, we could just toss them and replace them with new ones! Also, the bushings would
