Drain valve extension from Home Depot. Hole in the bottom of the cowl. I also need to turn on my boost pump to get fuel - and it comes out pretty fast. I sump my tanks every first flight of the day.

Firewall layout
I’m putting my battery on the floor in the front baggage area of my RV-8. OP-34 shows the battery cable coming through the firewall outboard of the side vertical angle and just below the cross angle near the middle of the firewall. I’d prefer to keep all wires near the floor of the baggage area...

An update from Dynon: We're growing!
Many of you likely know that since 2010 (15 years!?!) Dynon has offered "private label" Trig products in our SV-XPNDR-261/262 Transponders and SV-COM-T8/T25 Com Radio transceivers modules. I put "private label" above in quotes because although these products are Dynon's, we also wanted to...

Airspace issue
Here’s a random airspace safety problem I’ve seen, and I strongly suspect I have blundered into this myself once or twice at some point. Operating out of New Kent International Aerodrome, it is not uncommon to have a “close encounter” with aircraft that are circling around the Class C. New Kent...

Private Airstrip Zoning
It's basically tamped-down layers of money on top of more layers of money. And labor. I mow probably 5-10 hours for every hour of flight time I log off my backyard turf strip. You have to love mowing, or else you should do like Mel and pave over it with hundred dollar bills in the form of...

Access to gascolator problem
I discovered that my RV7 purchased in October does not have access to the gascolator to drain fuel. The cowl covers it up. A simple hole in the bottom right of the lower cowl would do the trick. Has anyone done this, or have other methods? It's mounted on the firewall, far right, bottom...

Fuselage center bulkhead alignment
I’ve just started the fuselage and the KAI asks to cleco two bulkheads to the bottom skin and match drill many #30 holes. The new kit is very nice and has all the holes predrilled. But I clecoed and clamped to check for fitting anyway. When lying on the table the bottom of the two bulkheads are...
