I didn't know him very well, but had several great conversations with George on the phone about his Lycoming installation(s). I spoke with him the last time just a week before the incident and had purchased a few items from him for my O-290 installation. According to the NTSB report CEN12FA638: Ge

Thanks Mark. I was thinking about additional bays for fuel and wanted to simplify fuel plumbing and controls. I will rethink things. Thanks -- Sent from myMail for Android Monday, 13 November 2017, 08:43AM -06:00 from m...@n56ml.com: Samuel Ajayi wrote: >Also, does any

Isn't that kind of a "Korny" answer? I've hauled and helped haul several KR's. I couldn't have accomplished it with fixed wings. Your grounded where you build it. Now if you live or fly out of that airport that would help. Go to FB Rand Roberson and I'll post a picture. On Nov 12, 2017 9:22 PM, "

While the comments so far are valid I am not sure if you are suggesting that the spar be built as a one piece spar or are you suggesting that the glass be completed over the spar connections as shown on the plans??? If you are planning on building the spars to the plans then by all means you can
