Rob’s Paint Booth Update
Rob Reece is painting his RV-8 at my home field (52F Aero Valley). He’s teaching himself to paint. He is finishing up the ‘small parts’ now and about to start the ‘big ones’. Popped in to another friend’s hangar recently where the booth lives, to see it in its inflated glory. Said the tent was around 2,500 and you can find them on Amazon. He *thinks* he’ll be about 8 grand in on the total paint job costs, booth included. Texas theme.
Super happy for my friend!

Options for alternative panel switches
With a dual 10.3" G3X display, it seems there is precious little room under the displays for switches as the bottom of the panel frame gets in the way. From this standpoint, the Honeywell AM34 switches seem to be the most popular rocker switches and will fit in this space (require 1.14" x 0.75"...

Skin layer issue
Hello Brain Trust. I am about to do the permanent joining of the tail cone and fuselage. The completed empennage kit was a purchase from a previous builder. Today’s task was a step by step review of the tail cone assembly instructions in which I discovered a (hopefully) minor error. The F-1079...

Troubleshooting Control Stick Trim Wiring
Hello! I just set up and tested the electrical system in my RV-10 - it is controlled through my VP-X Pro. When configuring the trim systems (pitch/roll), I was able to control the servos through my computer/VP-X Configurator, but when I tested the HAT switch on the stick, nothing happened. Any...

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...
