Just ...Cutting the trutrak harness is no big deal. Just use mating D-Sub connectors under the seat. Not sure how to maintain the shielding on the strobe wire. I'd probably try some braided shield from Spruce to bridge the splice. <br /><br />Sorry the North Las Vegas guys put the spot light on us. We had another experimental engine out from there on the same day as the safety committe reported out on the prior accident(s). Landed on a street with no serious injuries thank God.Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041272795548534045.post-11582416929434285342009-11-04T12:07:26.330-06:002009-11-04T12:07:26.330-06:00Bob,
What a bummer. I know it's a hassle,...Bob, <br />What a bummer. I know it's a hassle, but it sounds like one way or the other, you're going to have to move the airplane. Specifically, I was wondering if it would be less trouble to move it without removing the wings. I helped a friend move his RV-6A to our airport on a flatbed trailer that way. But the -6 has a shorter wingspan. Just trying to offer some help.<br />Donrv7boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988988952606712508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041272795548534045.post-82900217132690549832009-11-04T10:33:41.577-06:002009-11-04T10:33:41.577-06:00Bob,

I had my Cherokee there for three years and it's just a few minutes from the house. In my case, I don't find it overly objectionable. In reality, there are no safe places to land other than the runway should an engine out happen. I am also fortunate that there are two other airports available to me within a 10-15 drive that are very experimental friendly (KMRT and KDLZ). I hope to be taking my RV-10 to one of them this year. Realistically, I probably won't relocate back to KOSU once Phase I is complete. I'll support the airports that support me.<br /><br />bobBob Lefflerhttp://mykitlog.com/rlefflernoreply@blogger.com
