Got in a little gentleman’s acro during a .4 hop Tuesday morning to reset the brain. All better now - getting upside down does that <g>. Thank you RV-6!
Hope you had a nice Tuesday and your Wednesday goes swell.

Looking for a second (or Third) Opinion on Intake Valves.....
After finishing up Phase I, I decided that I'd pull several things apart and do a good inspection before moving forward. Part of this inspection was a compression test and borescope pictures. The compression test came out very well at 79/80 on all four cylinders. However, when I got to...

Adding a Garmin G5

so i have a bit of a fit issue with my tank skins. They have been a bit tight in the nose from the beginning and have a noticeably tighter radius than the outboard wing skins which fit to the ribs perfectly. When i put the tanks on the wing they do not perfectly match up to the outboard skins...
