    Alternative Energy Sources discussion

    Sometimes.............you can't. Last week I flew with an instructor to get my tailwheel endorsement. Over lunches I learned he is an antivaxxer, and, thinks there is a conspiracy around vaccines and nearly eveything else in the government. I understand mRNA vaccines and how they work via my...

    Alternative Energy Sources discussion

    Only fearmongering and anti-science "concern". The worlds largest collider went on to be built in Europe where it is the center of high energy physics research on the globe, most recently proving the existence of the Higgs particle, a particle that should have been discovered in Texas. Such...

    Welding on Galvanized / Coated Steel & Cleaning Steel

    Nice work, way to get things done! Welding on galvanized stuff is crappy. I've had to do it a few times and always set up a big fan and worked upwind. Just to let you know.....I can still see that RV :)

    Electric Vechicles Are Here - The world is rapidly going to S#@!

    As far as trying out a BEV, the Prius and other hybrids don't provide an accurate representation of what a BEV can do. Not at all. You need to give a modern pure electric vehicle a try. For performance enthusiasts go try a Tesla Model 3 Performance, or Tesla Plaid. These are 11s and 9s cars...

    Electric Vechicles Are Here - The world is rapidly going to S#@!

    Yep. As I wrote, we have two EVs and they are just fantastic vehicles. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy an ICE but the time of the ICE dominance is coming to a close. Just as we regulated steam engines to niche uses and nostalgia in favor of the ICE, the same will come to pass with ICEs in favor of...

    Electric Vechicles Are Here - The world is rapidly going to S#@!

    Really cool purpose-built EV that launched at Goodwood. Since this thread seemingly is about disliking EV's for several tangential reasons that are not related to electric propoulsion or GT40s might be time for this thread to head over to the Paddock.

    Electric Vechicles Are Here - The world is rapidly going to S#@!

    We have two electric cars in our household and are going on seven years of combined experience with them. Absolutely love them. Smooth, quiet, and give outstanding performance. We have traveled throughout most of the SE US electric only and neither one of us wants to use an ICE car for much of...

    Chuck and Ryan's Carbon Cub Build Blog

    The G3X was sort of what I was thinking to use. That, plus a iPad dock for Foreflight, that would give some redundancy and capability to the system. The IFR question is a big one. I don't want to do VFR over the top as it can get dicey but clouds happen. So, having IFR capability might be nice...

    Chuck and Ryan's Carbon Cub Build Blog

    I LOVE the CCs but they are out of my price range. Nice kits though, really like their attention to detail and construction. I'll check out the Javron. I like your advice and I do plan on just getting on with it. Cause time is a wasting. So 195 hrs in the wings isn't bad at all I don't think...

    Chuck and Ryan's Carbon Cub Build Blog

    Awesome! Nice to see you guys back at it. Do you have an EAA log? I'm considering building a plane as well. Been studying, looking at lots of sites and blogs, Youtube, etc. and I want to meet some builders. Thus far I've been interested in the Rans S-21, a Cub, with some minor interest in the...

    Lola T70 Spyder Mk I replica comfort

    Wonder if it is my old T70 Spyder replica? I had one licensed for the road with SCCA and NASA logbooks.

    ULEZ & Congestion Charge central London

    I'm aware but I think you're correct Steve - it'd be hard to pass such an ordinance here in the US.

    Fitech 30003 on a 302

    Still fighting a fooking Holley Sniper over here. Had to throw in the towel and have a pro guy I know on it, we are on the FOURTH Holley Sniper unit now. So, if FITech is anything like this, I'd say no. I believe the tbody injection systems are not so easily sorted for the fine tuning...
