Another thumbs-up for more list
activity. Ernest, it's great to hear that you were able to get
something flying. Keep the numbers coming; we can almost always
learn *something* from just about any experience that others
share. Todd, I've missed seeing updates from you, as well. Your
success with the additional tankage in your -9 was responsible, at
least in part, for me adding addtl capacity to the -7 I'm
building.
I've been making sporadic progress in the -7, but most of the
stuff I've been doing lately has been rather generic airframe
stuff; not really rotary related so I didn't see much reason to
post.
I did do a mod to the 'boot cowl', the forward top skin of the
fuselage. I added access ports on both sides in the highly curved
areas of that skin, which allow access to the firewall grounds,
motor mount bolts, the forward-mounted EC-2, ELT (hoping that
works ok), and I made a door for the passenger side opening so I
can install forward storage like an RV-8.
Pics if desired...

Hey Ernest;
Good to hear from you again. And thanks for still sharing
your data. I too miss the good old days when the FlyRotary
list was much more active with the likes of yourself as well
as other interesting characters such as Rusty, Leon, Lynn, Ed,
Tracy, Mike, Marv and many others that have either moved on,
passed on, or faded into the background to lurk quietly with
the occasional post (like this one).
I'm glad to see you're still active even if it's not
with a rotary. After a long hiatus I've finally returned to my
project as well. I only intended to make a few small mods, but
armed with my previous experiences, info gathered from others
over the years of silent lurking on this list as well as
better resources available to me and of coarse the ever
improving new technologies, and my plane is now nearing the
end of a major rebuild and redesign.
I'll provide some updates to all this soon, to see if I
can still get the conversation rolling here on the list.
