VAF stays in business due to those who donate yearly and some wonderful advertisers

This site strives to be a stress-free, civil place for fans of Van's RV kitplanes to virtually network and solve building issues.  The goal is that when you finish your RV and fly places, and meet in person the people you have talked with here, you will already kind of know them.  First and foremost this site is about good people.

Help interpret my Ignition Stress Test
  Following the advice of Mike Busch from a Jan 2012 Sport Aviation column, and having recently completed my first condition inspection (at which time I cleaned and gapped all plugs), I ran an ignition stress test on cross-country last weekend. Unfortunately, I really don't have much idea how to interpret the results.

GRT Avionics Press Release



Well I just took the plunge and placed my order
   Folks, Van's outlasted me. I was going to wait until they released the RV-14 empennage kit before I ordered, but I just can't wait any longer.
  I just emailed them my wing kit order form and sent my deposit. No turning back now! Wish me luck.
Regards,
Nathan Harwood

Rudder skin
Need opinions;
Folded the rudder skin per instructions. I understand the need for a flat surface and not bulge. Didn't get a bulge but do have a "bow" at a couple of the stiffeners. Trailing edge is otherwise straight.
