    PAU Canopy bolts

    Hello everyone, As the Viper container drifts closer and closer I've been making some plans for my build. I noticed that PAU uses 4 bolts at the rear of the canopy and it looks like dowel pins at the front. I like to put my switches and fuel dots under the canopy but that really isn't...

    DA-70 Alternatives

    We all know and love the DA-70. There's no question that its a great engine. However, are there other engines in that size/weight that I should consider? DA, DLE, and 3W both make 85 singles. The vibration on singles concerns me, but MOAR power is always nice. EME makes a 70, but reports...
