4RJN Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hi Darrell I was wondering if are planning to go to the midwest show? If so what days are you thinking? I would love to meet you in person and check out your plane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassStripFlyBoy Posted August 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 I’m hoping to make it, thinking Friday afternoon arrival, then head back Saturday. Or just a day trip on Saturday is possible if work becomes a snag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainLee Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 From what I heard the F2 is at another expo in Arizona.

CaptainLee Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just found out that FS will have the new F2 and one other plane there for the show. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Meade Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Flew down and back Friday and had a nice time. Long chat with Tom Baker and Tom Gutman. Didn't see any other forum members or CTs there. I got in about 1000 and left about 1400. The F2 was there in all it's glory , but I didn't spend much time on it because one is not in my future. Also saw my favorite Rotax mechanic and guru, Brett Lawton of Leading Edge Airfoils. Brett has been a great help to me over the years. I always enjoy the expo because it is so intimate and informal. With patience, one can get a lot of face time with people you need or want to meet. I picked up several Rotax and FD tips that I can employ to improve my FD and the Rans S7S I am building.

CaptainLee Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Bummer we didn’t meet up. We got there at 1030 and the Rans dealer parked Bobs plane in there display. It was the blue metallic flaked wrapped one. Right after we got there I went and Talked with Tom and Tom and then went for a flight. WOW impressive even did stall and tried to put it in a spin. I missed Dan Johnson’s talk and just caught the end. I’ll have to wait for the YouTube. We left a little after 4 and headed back to Romeoville after a great time.

Jim Meade Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm going to review the routing on my oil hoses to further improve oil temperature. Talked about how 912ULS fuel system seems to like it best around 5300 RPM as reflected in CHT and EGT (I have 4) temps. We discussed some aspects of controls systems on the CTSW, such as some have elevator springs so I checked on that when I got home. Chatted about rudder pressure and I might think about modifying spring strength. All little things mostly peculiar to my plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
