Re: New Wing Spar AD
When I had my wing spar done, a piece of plastic was laid down, the carbon fibre was put on the plastic then the resin. Another piece of plastic was put over top and a bond scraper was used to get the resin into all of the carbon fibre and get rid of any air bubbles. Once that was done there was no ...

Re: Starting problems
Thanks, the starting problem sounds like mine but the stumbling is something that is new to me. The plugs were just done 6 flying hours ago but I'm going to pull the plugs and check them today.

Re: Starting problems
Hi Todd, What was the outcome of your issue? I had an issue today that had me return to the airport. I have a 2002 with slick start. Hard starting, took three tries.

Re: Starting problems

Re: Starting problems
I went to go flying the other day and I had a hard time starting, twice. I never had the problem before either. What is the cost to replace with surestart.

Re: Flat tires
Hi Russ, Thanks, I machined it out of an aluminum block. Just to clarify I didn't make the strut jack any bigger than the drawing.

Re: Flat tires
Well I finally got tired of trying to lift the plane from the wing. It took forever and always had to block the tail or it would drop to the ground. I decided to make a lifting plate that I can carry in the plane as it only weighs .54 kg. It fits between the bottom two brake line clips. I used it th...
