I live in NJ North of the epicenter. Sadly I did not feel the quake or the aftershock but nearby towns apparently did. I feel cheated! Still need Locusts and Brimstone for the Bingo.

Indeed it is. I stand corrected.

I believe the plural for Y'all is Y'all-ziz

I see this in my profile. I assume this is a recurring payment and no further action is required on my end. Just checking. Thanks.

Hi Kevin. I'm in the same boat... Originally intended to shop out the lathed and machined parts of my build to a local fabricator but the cost was astronomical. For the same price it would have cost to fab two tube end fittings I could purchase a new mini-lathe, which I did. I quickly learned...

Sportcopter and others use an elastomeric bushing on one end that allows the mast to flex fore/aft.

I am always impressed with your work, Oskar.

I'm curious about the toilet picture at the bottom of the screenshot (zoom in)

Oddly, this very thought ran through my head the other day and after about 10 seconds decided it was a bad idea. Regardless of any affects on the rotor, it is still competing with the horizontal stabilizer. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but assuming equal moment arms from CG, wouldn't...

So sorry to learn this. Always enjoyed reading his posts and learning from him. Sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Agreed. Will be part of instrument panel for the reasons Doug mentioned. I sincerely appreciate the feedback from everyone, and glad to have asked the question. Have relied on the expertise here since this project began.

Wow, I didn't realize Dick was from Niles. That's my hometown (though NJ is home now.) "Small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it" - Steven Wright

Would this phenomenon be affected by how 'clean' the airflow is going into the prop? In other words, are the drag numbers similar in both pusher and tractor configurations? Very interesting thread.

I stand corrected, so yes. Yaw string will be a very prominent feature.

Sold! Wow, that's nice. Idiot question though to the more learned here: Are there any concerns or hazards with mounting EIS next to throttle quadrant (on side of seat) rather than in the instrument panel? Hoping to keep the panel to just the 3 basic ALT/ASI/RRPM if possible. Plus it's a shorter...

That's quite interesting, and agree with that reasoning. Oddly my experience has been the opposite in some circumstances. Driving for example the speedometer needle is mostly meaningless while the numerals in the HUD seemed more easily understood. I wonder if others that work with numbers all...

Hello All. Hoping to learn a bit about what others are using for flight instruments (airspeed, alt, EGT, CHT, RRPM, etc.). Trying to work up a small, simple instrument panel for my light single-seater (still under construction). Noticing that there's a huge cost range in even simple instruments...

They're generally custom made to order. Mine took over a year to receive. I don't see that many of them in the wild but you might luck out.

That's great news, Abid!
