Is it possible to get a link to a valid price list?

How do you know when someone has an iPhone or iPad? They'll tell you

Clyde hamstreet is requesting over a million from the company. I guess shepherding companies through bankruptcy pays very well...

A game changer for me was switching rubber hoses out for lifetime teflon hoses. You can order them to exact lengths needed. People do not realize that any rubber hoses need to be replaced each time every 5 years or sooner. And you cannot see the rubber on fuel hoses when they are covered by steel braid and fire block orange insulator. But when you take the hoses apart, and try and bend them, they are as hard as a ...... (you fill in the blanks with your favorite saying from your mechanic). Go complete Teflon hoses in your engine compartment.

Looking forward to flying my Europa XS monowheel - first engine start is planned for the New Zealand spring this year ...

Man that looks like a BLAST!

Im studying for my Powerplant practicals and this was a great refresher! Thank you so much!

Congratulations!!!!!!

I think I'm falling in love. Any suggestions as to how I can see a Bearhawk 5 in person, or talk to a builder, or even get a test ride? I live in the Long Island, NY area.

A brief explanation of the theory of operation of the differential tester would have been helpful.

Which models/types are strong and powerful for hard steel jobs.I bought a set of the step drill that looks like the brass colour the type you have on the work bench and it doesn't work good at all,instead of boring holes,it gets so hot and start emitting smoke.

and the difference in price for Certified is justified HOW? FAA approved extortion.

Aero Performance has made a number of hoses for me...OUTSTANDING people, best customer service anywhere and quality work!!!

Very informative. Thank you!!

So who is doing the "dimpling" on CUSTOMER PARTS VS. "ENGINEERING ANALYSIS" PARTS AND WHAT TOOLS ARE USED?

Functionally equivalent. NO SHIT!

Shills.

Jigs? Empty. CNC machines? Empty. Order book? Empty.

whats about semitubular rivets with gun ?

I'm thinking about moving my insurance to liability only and self insuring the hull. It is just not worth the high prices any more.

I can't understand why kitfox doesn't offer a version that keeps the frame but is covered with riveted aluminum sheets. Why not? The single biggest complaint I've heard about the kitfox build process (other than parts not fitting correctly - which is ridiculous) is not only how messy the ironing, priming and painting process is but the aprox. 6 months or more time it adds to total build time. And that doesn't include having to deal with fumes and clean up. For this reason alone, I would opt for a Zenith if it weren't that their high wing aircraft are so damned ugly and weird looking.

Just two notes. That is a combination square not a carpenters square. If you used the other side, it will give 45* angles 2: if you used a horizontal bandsaw then cutting 45* is easy, as well as cutting square ends. Using that bandsaw eliminates 95% of what you are instructing. You are using the wrong tool and making a lot of measurement problems to deal with it. 3: BUT...Your band saw can be used with a miter gauge and again eliminate the problematic measuring you are doing. Mark the cut point and run the stock through at a 45* angle. Just like you are doing at 8:33 except using that thing you're using at 5:43 That is not a square it is a miter gauge.

Why not get a j model mooney? Less than half the price of what this is, but with more speed, aluminum, lots of parts availability, more useful load, more panel, IFR, and a lot more mechanics who work on them.

Trop de baratin

my guitar case hinges have rivets and I have broken drill bits and whatever you call that punch, they break in half... you can't drill a round surface everything. just slips right off, been working this for weeks now...

... so, is there an option, that we, experienced users / existing users on 912 can now upgrade to 916 without a loss of another total cost, for the new, better engine type :).

... it would be worth mentioning first ... that we are exercising such stall actions, because they are used for the purposes of landing, as their main purpose. Aside from (while still in the air) checking the aircraft if it could perform a safe landing stall, once we get to the ground, and transition phase :).

... and ... how about fitting a daily fishing gear, at the compartment, and a few telescopic fishing rods :).

Milwaukee makes a really nice M12 Pop rivet puller! About $200

If I have seen this correctly, the same dimple dy set was used for the upper and lower plates. When I do this, the angles do not match. When dimpling, there is an angle of 110° on the lower side of the upper plate. So you would have to use a dimple tool for the lower sheet that has an angle of 110° degrees on the upper side of the lower sheet. And it was not mentioned that if I have a thicker lower sheet that I want to countersink, the angle of the countersink should be 110°. Here is a link where this is explained in detail.ua-cam.com/video/WC5BAp2xvDc/v-deo.html. But perhaps it does not play a decisive role in aluminium and small rivets.Perhaps the dimpletool also has the same angle at the top and bottom of the male and female parts.

RV-14 builder here. I appreciate this informative and positive exchange. I had my Fuselage and Finish kits on order just before the laser-cut-part and bankruptcy reorganization. The kits were delivered, and communications with Van's was no-drama, as usual. Kudos to the Frontline employees for showing positive attitudes - which isn't easy.

Bottom line is Vans is going to keep the millions they made from the company they built. New and existing customers must pay more for a product. Typical bankruptcy out come. Van's will be able to suck more money out of the company and creditors will lose. Unfortunate outcome in the aviation community.

Van's prices are going up, they are not going to pay their creditors all their money owed and are asking people who have already paid their money for more money. Vans tells everyone that they were not charging enough. They made mistakes about the lazer cut parts and farming out manufacturing of parts to make more money and the greed got the best of them. Vans loaned their company several million dollars. Could someone tell me where they got this money from? Maybe the tooth fairy. Could someone tell me if Vans is going to take 10 cents on the dollar for the money they loaned the company or are they going to get ALL of it back. The prices they charged were high enough before all of this or they would not have millions to loan themself!!!! People now have no morals. Maybe Vans will give back all the excess profits they have made and everyone can that worked with them can get paid or not charged more for what they contracted for. Too many people are saying now, I got mine so I don't care if anyone else gets theirs.

Estoy pendiente, sigo ahorrando. Luego les aviso para la compra. Gracias.

Great interview Marc. Well done!

Cool glasses.

In my opinion the best tool to buy before starting the effort of building an home built airplane is a small CNC. It is a real force multiplier. I have bougth my first one 25 years ago and it is still working.

Can't wait for it to get STCed!

My soul died a bit together with those nice vise jaws...

Thank you so much Paul for the flight.

Will i fit if i weigh 310

Wow a two seat light plane at 425 thousand, too dam much for any new plane

What is that clamping vise called on your bench please.

Why would Comp Air buy up the rights to The Stallion. Strutless,fast. Decent load and range.

I cant get used to the mini propeller in the front, especially with the 120 HP engine.

When it was approved they were saying up to 50 cents a gallon more, now they are saying a dollar, by the time it shows up to most pumps it will be at least 2 dollars more, mark my words.

Thats over 3 times as much as I paid for my Sting S4 …. Way too much for what it is but for people who have more money they can spend, it does not matter so my guess is they will find a dozen or so customers per year across the world in this category of buyers. After Sting S4 , it is going to be EAB for me at half of this price …

Very good explanation
