REFLECTOR: Insurance while building

I just got my kit also.  The carrier covered the kit while in transit.
While building, I have a policy with Falcon.  Speak to Jim Nelson
1-866-647-4EAA (4322).  Needles to say, I found him through EAA.  I am
paying $400/year for up to $40,000 for the plane.  No liability or medical.
Seemed reasonable to me as long as I get it done within 50 years which is
within the current plan.

I'll second Ronnie's comments.  Not much electrical experience before
reading Aeroelectric's book but manage to wire and now fly a dual bus, dual
alternators, all glass panel, so I would give much credit to Bob.  Basically
followed the book, and other then my own bonehead mistakes, everything
worked fine.

Terry,

 

  Assuming fairly low current annunciators why not put them on both?

Hi All

I pick up my kit next week ( XLRG fastbuild ) ......  I was wondering what 
is the best way to insure it during transportation and during the building 
process??

Thanks

Craig,

It is Greg Richter that owns BMA.

Mounted and flew AeroComposite prop 2.5 hrs of 5 hr fly off this
weekend.  Gained 300 fmp climb at 25 squared and 8 knts in 23/23 cruise
from 172 knts indicated to 180 knots IAS without the spinner on.
Workmanship is beautiful but mounting hardware for spinner is now over a
week late in delivery.  It was left out of the shipping container with
the spinner.   Prop was two months later than promised but it does look
and work very well.  

Question:  The AeroComposite has a rpm limit of 3000 and an overspeed
limit of about 4000.  I was thinking of increasing my engine rpms up
from the 2700 of the MT to 2800 or even 3000.  That is still very low
rpms and should get better climb out on take off.  Thoughts?
