    This presents a good example of this FAA registration. So it's your "UAS", with potentially your number on it, operated by someone else... So would that mean the operator would have to have their number affixed to the aircraft ??? Interesting scenario

    That sounds fun, would be tricky for me living in Alaska and all. But Portland is relatively close, have friends there too. It's expensive to ship a larger plane, especially with size restrictions for oversize baggage, ect. May just have to get a couple electrics that fit in a box... Hmmmmm

    32F here, temps supposed to drop to 15F by Christmas, then a few inches of that white fluffy stuff. I'm sure a lot of you don't worry about temperature cutoffs for your internal combustion engines (or fingers!) - I wont fly my non-electrics 34F and under... too hard to start and by the time you...

    Anybody playing with LiHV cells? Seems intriguing to a certain standard. I think I read somewhere that they are a LiCo Chemistry?? Lithium Colbalt Oxide?? dunno, but fun to see new stuff like this coming out on the market.

    There ya go. I like the geometry with the linkage. Planning on accessing it though it's own cowling hole, or?

    So true. Like I said, It not going to go away... I know that my name is searchable as a licensed aircraft mechanic on the FAA database... Hasn't affected me yet! So I'm not too worried about it, but I don't agree with the whole ruling for the record.

    Yup. I dont this the Feds will go back on their new regulation... Never seen that happen! Adjust it yes, but I'm pretty sure it's not going away.

    So my local in at the Feds office said that he'd hold off on registering as well until the website gets a little more fine tuned, and if any modifications are made to the ruling prior to January 20th. I'll try and get more info out of him as it allows. Anyways that's my 2 cent update

    I've been tinkering with ideas lately as well. The choke control couldn't have been more poorly situated. I tried a little standoff like what you did, but it hit the engine mount. DA is using a Walbro carb, but they etched the numbers out so you cannot decipher the model... so it's not their...

    Website works for me, the site says online registration should come online sometime today. Of course it isn't and I hope it doesn't.

    Thanks Mike, I also really like DA's method for mounting the ignition bracket, makes so much sense. I wonder why they only went with three tabs instead of four?

    Mounted the DA Ignition Box. Ended up using 4-40 allen head bolts with blind nuts installed with epoxy.

    Casualplay I don't have a huge problem with overheating here in Alaska... :D I like what you did there by opening it up by the exhaust tubes. I'm thinking about doing something like that as well. Did you block the tunnel or are you dumping the outlet air though it as well?

    Still working on the Cowling. Had to decide where to put the DA Ignition Box so I could orientate the lead and plug cap accordingly. I came up with this, just like how it lays out, with the connections pointing up, and the ignition box LED will be visible through the cowling inlet. Then I got...
