Re: KR> hi speed taxi

To go to the 40 kts was also my idea, but I hoped to take the nose off the ground. If I reed your all ideas this is not a good idea. So I will do a run up just like a normal take off and abort at 40 / 45 kts. No backpress to the stick Stef > Op 18 april 2019 om 6:05 schreef John Bou

Re: KR> Bent Rudder Horn

John, If you can get 2024T3 material instead of the 6061 it is much better. I know in the homebuild marked the 6061 is used very much because it is so easy to produce a part. But it is so very soft. As a prof sheetmetalworker I realy hate that stuf. It is nice to weld and very good corrosion re
