Are you passing hot, crappy gas?
Are you passing hot, crappy gas?
Well I do at times........ Winter to summer mogas changeover season has always been a challenge - the winter mogas on a warm day would lead to some issues, like fuel boiling in the fuel line, and carb, leading to an over rich condition on take off with a corresponding stumble after a hot...

What is this canopy clip?
I have had my RV-12 for about two years now. I have been trying to figure out what this clip on the Roll Bar Frame assembly is for. I don't see it depicted on any of the numerous drawings I have.

Finish Kit - orphan bits.
I’m doing the inventory on my finish kit, but can’t identify where these parts are used? 2 plain aluminium machined blocks - AB3-3/4x1 1/2 x 1.188 - seems they should be used for something important with that specific dimension? A spacer for jigging something? Also - a long compression...

Mike picked up his RV-12 this morning with N917PH's new custom paint job by Fulltron. For those RV-12 builders wondering if we paint 12's, the answer is yes, and Fulltron has several more RV-12's scheduled for painting in the near future. Next week we'll have another custom RV-7 paint job...

Op63 (remote canopy release) and Section 59 (power module)
I’m planning out where to put my remote canopy release handle, and I had initially thought the bottom of the power module would be a good spot. However, it seems my F-14188A Power module front plate is not the same as the one depicted in OP63? (It’s the same as in Section 59). It’s like the...
