DIY Paint Booth …9GT PIREP
I built my own paint booth in my hanger. Its used right now for climate controlled working during the build. Its got a small propane furnace and a small AC unit. I'll just put in the air filters and exhaust fan when its time to paint. I am pretty frugal and it ran about $300 to built. 12' W X 24' L X 8' H.

RV-14 Sportsman II Side Panels Install Video (Classic Aero)
Hey Everyone, We're trying something new. We've started experimenting with using video. Here is our first attempt at an installation video. It's very basic. We plan to get a little more fancy in the future, but let us know what you think. Any suggestions are welcome. RV-14 Sportsman II Side...

Cowling to Plenum/Baffles Connection Sleeve
This is one of those issues where everybody has their own, "best" way of doing this - this is just mine ... I use as thick a "coated" neoprene wetsuit material I can find (6.5mm is what I am using now), develop a pattern, join the "butt" ends with wetsuit adhesive; and, here is where the...

Q:
Battery Cable Firewall Penetration
Trying to stick to plans as much as possible, I landed the starter contractor on the left firewall inboard and below the brake fluid reservoir. I'm planning to use the plans penetrations for the control cables. There is a large hole outboard left upper firewall for the battery cable to pass...

Advice wanted - O-360 Major OH, teardown, new engine, or . . . . ?
Looking for advice from those smarter than me. I'm certainly more of an operator than engine mechanic. I have an older O-360 C2A installed on my RV-4. The engine was overhauled in 2002 and sat (but preserved) until 2009 when I first flew my RV-4. I do not know the total years in service on...
