I think that's a good decision considering you'll probably have no issues exceeding TBO.
Curious to know what was "not to spec."

I ordered the CD yesterday.

I have talked with a DAR and started the ball rolling to E-LSA. I sent him pdf's of the logbooks and made an account on AWC.FAA.GOV as he requested. He also needs to see the weight and balance along with an equipment list. I now need to acquire the appropriate placards; EXPERIMANTAL & “PASSENGER...

I check in everyday hoping for something interesting to be posted.
I, on the other hand rarely have interesting things to post.

My first SnF, the wife and I were there Friday and Saturday. The Saturday night airshow was quite impressive. Best we'd ever seen. Talked with most of the LSA manufacturers and looked at a few kits. Don't know if I'll ever be able to afford something new but it's nice to see what I might get used in...

Where did you get the OAT probe? Does it have a make/model? I ordered the probe from Aero Performance. I had two choices for the OAT probe. One that works with the GRT EIS or one that works with the AV-30. I went with the AV-30 OAT probe (Davtron C307PS) which gives me OAT, density altitude and TAS...

Hello all, I am wanting to install the FT-60 Red Cube fuel transducer. I'd appreciate a pic or two of how the other stings have them installed. Location, fuel hose routing etc. If you can't post here feel free to pm me for my email. I did get the OAT probe installed and it is working as expected. Ha...

Thanks! And a Merry Christmas, to you.

TIRES: StingSport owners, what tires are you using? I noticed drdehave (Sting Flight) was using the Kenda Loadstar. My plane came with Deestone DS7251's (D901) on the mains and a 15-year-old Continental LB 3.5-8 46J on the nose. I spooned on a new set of Deestone DS7251's and it was no easy task. D...

I'll be taking the Rainbow Aviation LSRI course in a couple weeks.
I don't anticipate seeing Brian or Carol there.
The email states, "there are no prerequisites" and they suggest a video or two on their YouTube.
Besides a notepad, what would you suggest I bring along with me?
Thanks, Tim

Welcome! WV28 looks beautiful on Google maps.
Are you flying out of there with your Sportstar?

This thread should have photos. I may add them later. First oil change after annual (20hrs) revealed more lead than preferred in oil tank. I'll use more Decalin, 1 oz per 10 gallons as opposed to .5 oz. The GRS/BRS window and grommet were "secured" with many small strips of packing tape an...

Hi Guys - thanks for the donations, we're up to $105. Sorry about the email glitch. I didn't want to change my account to a sportpilottalk.com email address because I will lose access to that if the site shuts down. However I was able to add a secondary email. I thought I had already done that :rol...

PayPal is giving me the following message,
"[email protected] needs a PayPal account to get your $50.00 USD".
I'm not new to PayPal but this is the first time I've seen this.

Paul,
So sorry for your loss.
