Some seem to wish that their ES was as fast. Personally I prefer my EIFS which does indicate realistic speeds! Henry -- Ron Galbraith <n5es@...> wrote: I...
Ron, I just presumed that you had a 200 knot tailwind....which would not have caused any flutter....... Drew ... N757GR's Chelton display showing an indicated...
Hi Ron: I hope my ES-P can do that when she gets airborne though Tim Ong suggested on that we limit IAS to 177kts in the nonpressurized ES. I admit I was...
Has anybody replaced the screws on the fuselage aft access panel? I was thinking about replacing the 18 #8 screws that hold the access panel to the aft...
Greg. Not a good idea, that panel is structural and is designed to have the structural screws to carry the loads. BRIAN ALLEY (N320WT) CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES ...
Greg - Isn't here is a SB out on that panel. I believe that the screws are required because of the stress on the fuselage in that area. Tim was not happy when...
Hi Greg, They are correct. This panel is structural. In fact the first flutter mode is the torsion of the fuselage at that panel. Installing camlocs would...
Greg, SB066 I still have the #6 screws and I'm going to switch to the #8s sometime in the future. Mike <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR>...

When I was inflating my rebuilt strut it occurred to me that the centering mechanism must have some positive effect on reducing or eliminating shimmy. If you...
Yes, it's time to start planning for SNF. April 17-23 (Tues - Mon) I'm busy on an interior project right now, but I'm hoping to have enough time to polish up...
I'll be at SNF from about the day before it starts until the day after it ends. I'll be available if anyone is looking for some refresher or initial training...
I'm thinking of going - but I was thinking that LAST year. This time for certain, maybe. My interior is being re-installed next week and Sturgis Aviation in ...
That was the same thought I had about a little bottle to pressurize the strut in a shimmy event. Fully inflate the strut to engage the centering mechanism. ...
Does anyone recognize this tail number? I'm out at the Lockhart, TX airport and spotted a nice ES doing touch-n-go's. He didn't stop. Anyone know where this...
We have room reservations, so we will be going if the weather permits. We plan on arriving Wednesday or Thursday and staying until Sunday or Monday. If this...
That's interesting: The FAA site says that it had been a Starduster but was cancelled years ago. Sure you got the number right? Robert M. Simon ES-P N301ES ...
Mike, As usual, I'll be there the whole week at Booth N-2 (Firewall Forward). Since the Bahamas group deal fell through (and, we'll be shipping engines, boot,...
That's a strange one. That N number did belong to a Starduster II but was de-registered on 2/12/2007. The N number is now on hold, as of 2/12/2007, but it has...
That tail number shows up as a cancelled number and the FAA database at http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/ shows it was previously registered to a 1978...
Mark, It doesn't show yet on the FAA registry. My son was flying in New Jersey a few days ago when he heard an ES on the frequency. He didn't catch the...
Yep - I'm familiar with the SB. We changed from #6 to #8 screws before first flight. Some of the new quarter turn fasteners are rated at 900 pounds. That's...
Robert, Three of us read the number and confirmed it on the next few touch-n-go's. That's not to say that we all got it wrong, but it lowers the odds a bit....
Greg, I'm in the rear access panel far less often than the cowl, so taking out the screws is really not much of an inconvenience. The SB was the result of...
According to Einstein the numbers decrease as the speed increases so what LOOKED to be 1456 might at rest have been only 1400, relatively speaking. Robert ...
Drew spotted an ES at Copperstate (I think) last year and we tried to track down the owner and the N number was listed on a Cessna 210. I'm not sure if it's...
If Mr. Ferrara only canceled his N number a couple weeks ago, we can assume that the FAA is current at least. Maybe it was Greg Campbell with some new LCD N...
