Re: Suggestions & Improvements

On a similar topic, how can I get alerts (emails) when a new post is added?
In the VANSAirforce site I get alerted everyday for new activity on the RV-12iS, would like something similar in this forum.

How about additional access/inspections hatches? How are you doing it? What locations?
Replacing the plastic lines with metal or braided lines?

Discussion on known building "Gotchas" for the Sling TSi

Re: Avionics Package

Wow, yes, this is very valuable!

Great suggestion.

Will the "Flight Systems Stock box 9xis" decode the Rotax error codes like a BUDS level 2 or 3 Dongle + software would?

Thanks!
