I have been using Marvel Mystery oil for years but thought of it more as a

I’ll add Decalin for this summer’s flying and see what affect it has.

The West System pumps are great for dispensing the resin and hardener but you
should mix the batches using an accurate weigh scale to get the ratio correct.
Air bubbles in the pumps can sometimes bias the mix ratio unless you check

Bob,
In Canada , you need to have the data plate installed permanently ( with the C
of R letters on it) before your final inspection by MD-RA.
The EAA data plate works great if you just trim off "Experimental" on the top
line. Rivet it onto the fuselage side under the stab.

Yes, that conclusion matches what I just posted.

Plans length , plus 14 inches , aft of the spar.
Width, your choice , but wider by a few inches than stock will be a welcome
improvement you won't regret.

Mine is stock width to fit the RR premolded parts ,although I regret not adding
2-3 inches in width.

Joe,
I use the RR canvas sling seat and a 2 inch memory foam cushion that conforms
to my butt as it warms up .
At 5 foot 10 , I have an inch or so to the canopy with this set up.

Mark,
Glad you made it through another dead stick adventure and are safe and sound.
And a good choice of landing spot under an obvious high pressure moment.
Looking forward to any further " post mortem" on the VW engine as I would not
have expected it to fail so soon either?

I'm currently at Oshkosh camped and the weather is great.
Showing thunderstorms by 2pm Saturday until 8 pm.
I volunteered for flight line duty so I may on the ramp to welcome you!

like an AA meeting so he thought that would be a good opening statement
" I've been Aluminum Free for two years !!!
Dry sense of humour as usual .
Thanks for the update , Jim.
Owen and I are still planning for a Sunday arrival . Now that we have
some friends taking some campgear , we can probably park in the
