RE: SDSFI Fuel Return Pressure Regulator Firewall Mounting?
I noticed that the SDS automotive fuel pressure sensor has no way to secure the bolts. So I made a Z bracket to mount it and safety wired the drilled bolt heads. I also exchanged the screws that hold the cover on for ones with drilled heads and safety wired those as well. I know of one owner where that lid started coming off and leaked.
RE: Dimpling aft wing spar by flap brackets QB
Problem: I’m having a problem dimpling the aft spar where the flap bracket is on my QB wing. I was able to use a rivet puller on the ribs by the bracket but the holes on either side of the bracket on the spar are a double layer (rib and spar). Any suggestions?

rv-10 rudder trim
I've searched and not found quite what I'm looking for, mostly posts from several years ago. I just don't like the looks of the hinge on the back of the rudder for electric trim and would like to do something that looks more "factory". Has someone already invented this "wheel"? I'm probably...

Another extended weekend trip
The school was on the way, not the slightest detour. A wildfire developed northwest of the school, large cloud, could smell it. The fog at LAX and Torrance disappeared so could fly as planned. Torrance temps at 23C, very nice after having 33C at Buchanan. Over LAX

MT Hub for James Cowling / RV-8?
Hello! I have found that MT can make us custom hubs, custom spinners, the whole nine yards. All we need to know is the dimensions to send them. There's a 9 month order wait for propellers, so I wanted to get my order in. Does anyone have the specs for the extended hub we need for the James...
