    ZDZ 180 Owners' Thread

    Another 3 flights last night that were flawless :) I now have approx. 27 flights on the engine and the power still amazes me every time I fly :)

    IMAC car stickers

    Hey Adi, Can you change the .com to .org? Not sure if the .com is going to stay around much longer with the new site being .org. Just thoughts. I would love to get one of the stickers for my trailer :)

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Whose spinner is that? Mejzlik? The one I got from Bill Hempel has a really weak lightened back plate. I may give tru-turn a call and see if I can get a solid back plate from them without breaking the bank :)

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Cam, It may just be the way the picture was taken but, it looks like the choke plates are not open equally in the picture. Where did you get the titanium hardware from?

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That is what I used to do before I got back into planes :) I only dreamed of having something that nice. Wish I could see that in person :)

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I have actually started doing this just in case something doesn't work I can take care of it before buttoning up the canopy :)

    Basic engine tuning.

    @Flyingjon it sounds like you may be running into a vapor lock scenario. How soon after landing are you trying to fire the engine up again? Check the fuel line location and see if there is a way to move it further away from the exhaust. Also, check to see if there is a way you can get some more...

    Triple Tree Aerodrome, AOPA Mag Article

    They do have the Heli extravaganza, e-week and a chilly fly in January I believe.

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    People have accused me of being anti-social because I will ignore anyone that comes up and tries to talk to me while assembling my plane at the field. The one time I did talk to someone I missed a power connection to one of the wings and had to pull the canopy off and plug the connector in, time...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Made it to the field last night with enough time to get 3 more flights on the LX. It was a beautiful evening and I was the only one at the field so, gas and go, 3 times in a row :)

    ZDZ 180 Owners' Thread

    Just found this forum :) Have around 5 1/2 gallons through my 180 now and love the way it runs. I believe I have the starting sequence figured out finally. I set the choke, flip the prop 4 times, turn the choke off and no more than 3 flips and I am running. I found that if I flip the engine...

    2nd Annual Shreveport IMAC competition

    I just looked and with 17 already registered I think it will be an early start and a late run :) Sounds like a day of fun in the sun!

    2nd Annual Shreveport IMAC competition

    Make sure you have the AC running in the club house Cam :) Pilot meeting at 7:30 wheels up at 8? May need to start that early to get 4 in depending on the number of pilots :) I am already registered.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    For a minute it looked like a free style routine :) but, the rest of the scores weren't to bad considering my hands were shaking worse than my first contest last year. I went home and flew it on the simulator and I am pretty sure I figured out what happened. I probably stayed in the rudder just...
