My prop is a Sensenich ground adjustable and pitch is set while it’s on the plane. Your looks quite different but I’m sure someone here will know how to adjust it.

I don't know what prop or pitch adjustment method the Sportstar has, but on the RV-12 we're told to try to get the blades set to within 1/10 of a degree of each other. I use a digital level and bracket that clips onto the prop.

Ocean Infinity must be fairly confident if they're prepared to roll the dice on a $70m fee. Hope they find it.

Don, from what I understand North Dakota overall is pretty solidly pro-Trump. You obviously have a different opinion, as most of us here do. What's the general view of Trump in your neck of the woods?

Some of those number look a bit optimistic. 160kt cruise and Vne=220kts on 78 hp? 1,000nm range on 19 US gal? Service ceiling 28,800'?

There's always room for you and the project over here, Don.

He'd make an exception for himself and waive the tariff.

If you’re near an airport have a talk to the flight schools or FBO staff. They will be able to answer a lot of your questions.

Round trip from where to where? More to the point, why buy a plane with all the associated hangar and maintenance costs when it would be cheaper and easier to hire a plane and pilot when you needed to. Also, this is primarily an Australian site and assume you are wanting to fly in the USA?

He may have to settle for gold spray paint if he wants to go joyriding before he gets dumped from the White House.

Nice!

Impressive aircraft. Very sleek design and a top speed of over 400 kts is very fast for the time.

If they are pushing on with the RV-15 development I assume that's a sign they are on the road to financial recovery.

Can’t do any harm if your tiedowns are a bit dodgy.

One trick I've heard about but haven't tried is to lay thick rope along the wing to break up the airflow and the lift. Sounds plausible.
