I will provide testament that a brand new ACS #30 Cobalt bit makes a very nice hole in your body. There is no smoking, just the elegant curling of flesh. I suggest calmly reversing the drill and backing it out instead of taking the risk of bending the bit as you recoil from the sight. The blood isn'...

Subject says it all.

Mine was drilling a clean hole through my index finger holding two parts together. Followed by a rising panic fumbling through the hanger looking for the first aid kit and leaving a nice blood trail showing everywhere I looked.

A little bird is telling me that the great Gary Motley may be making a appearance, possibly in a Chinese warbird.

This will be my first time going. Bringing a flying buddy or two in our small camper and plan on coming in Saturday and leaving mid to late week with a model-b wing kit inside. Excited to meet everyone in person as opposed to on the forum. There will be plenty of booze and burgers in the camper if ...

If I go, I'll be at camp Sonex in homebuilt camping. If Jeff can secure our location again. It was great.

Hi all, Has anyone replaced the cup races on the 5 in Tri -star wheels ? Is there a special tool or procedure to get them out? The races are sold separate. $ 1.85. I called Azusa but got a millennial hire, didn’t know and didn’t care. WaiexN143NM Michael The tool will be far more expensive than a n...

I have only had a very brief turn on the controls of a Sonex with the larger ailerons but my main impression was that they felt very heavy. With the standard ailerons the control balance feels pretty good at low speed, but at higher speeds the ailerons become fairly heavy whereas the elevator seems...

Ok, I've got to ask you barn door flappers. If you only had 20 degrees of flaps available, could you land your aircraft safely? That's basically what 30 degrees of sport flaps gives you. Or do you need that extra 10 degrees to make a safe landing?

Mine has the sport ailerons and I have flown 3 others without. I really do not notice the difference other than the larger ailerons require more force for full deflection. I honestly don't feel like they are "aerobatic ailerons" because I feel they don't increase the roll rate substantial...

Anyone have data on change in stall speed with sport mod and shorter flaps? Or recommendations generally on the sport aileron modification? As a new pilot starting on my wing build this week, I suspect i dont *need* more sport in my new toy, but if there really is no material increase in stall spee...
