Re: Reinstall gear fairings
I'll have to make a video sometime. It's pretty easy. I recommend laying on the ground under the gear leg. The goal is to get the pin through the first two loops then you are home free. I put the top pin in first. Just squeeze them together and you may need to "roll" the taco shell a littl...

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for
I'd bring some safety wire. A canopy cover if you have one.

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex
Next up we need the fairing/mount in the tail. We have printed a male mold. The fairing will sort of be a cone shape, but stretched along the trailing edge where the screw holes are. After we make the cone, we will hack up the tip and bond it in.

Re: Aerovee one EGT high
In the picture above, the tabs were bent the wrong way - temps got worse. Here is the iteration where they were about as good as before I added fresh air induction. Screenshot_20240508-215708.png Here is my next iteration - more swirl in the same direction, to see if there is an improvement. Screens...

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX
Adam has some heavier friends and had to get a C172 checkout to take them. 220lbs is about the maximum at his weight!

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for
I think what is common is a strobe on each wingtip, and of course red/green nav lights there too. My nav lights also have an aft-facing white nav light. It might be that a connection has failed to the left strobe. My nav lights draw about an amp, and the strobes the same. I only run the nav lights i...

Re: Sonex-A purchase - What to look for
The primary ignition uses no electrical power. It's basically a Briggs & Stratton type magneto. The ipad will use 1-2A at 5V, which ends up being 0.5-less than an amp at 14.5. We do it all the time. Not sure what Darick has for lights. If he has a conventional master contactor that's about an am...

Re: Aerovee one EGT high
Robert, I had considered getting some hex shaped flow straightener material and CNCing a circle out of it. I'm not sure if straight is the answer, or just crooked enough to steer the fuel. Do all the cylinders hit peak EGT around the same time when you pull it back from full rich? Definitely not. Th...
