Electrical layout from engine to elec bus
I’m updating the panel to glass and rewiring. Attached is the general layout. 5-6 yrs ago DanH advised to put and ANL fuse on the firewall side before the B-lead enters into the cockpit. I believe he said the reason was in case the B-lead would ever short out going through the FW, it would blow...

Tip Up: Painting inside of canopy glass over roll bar
I’ve noticed on a few RV’s, that paint and dust and grime collect under the aft window between the glass and the roll bar. I was thinking of painting a strip of interior color (same as the roll bar color) on the inside of the glass to hide this. (and will likely install the window with clear...

Van's fuel primer system
My plane has no fuel priming system. Apparently no one in over 20 years has ever felt the need for one. I give it a pump or 2 with the throttle depending on how cold it is, none if the engine is warm. It generally starts just fine for me. OTOH, a couple times I've had to cancel a flight...

Get the cap all the cool kids are wearing! I don’t get a penny. It’s around $15. $5 more if you want your N-number on the back (I put 'STAFF' on the back of mine because it makes me laugh. Put STAFF on yours too if it makes you smile). And down the road $10 to the charity of your choice...
