I started on a Marquart Charger back in the mid '90s. I put it into
storage after building some wing ribs and some fittings. Circumstances
have changed and I'm ready to start building again. I know that how to
build a Charger hasn't changed, but the laws about homebuilts may well
have. I've not been to any EAA chapter meetings for a long time,
although I'll start that again soon, too.

Anyway, gents, jog my memory about where I can go to check on what the
FAA expects to see regarding homebuilding.

Propulsion is another thing that I've thought about over the last few
years. I'll probably put in a O-320/360, but I was wondering about how
successful auto conversion were in that power range.

Thanks and best regards,

By coincidence, I had a nice talk with Ed this morning out at Flabob.

I have never talked Ed. I should try hard to find him on my next trip
to SOCAL.

There was, and maybe still is, a very experienced builder out here.
The guy's name is John Matthews and he has built several Chargers. I
hung around him a lot when I was starting the project, but not so much
after I had to suspend work. It pleases me to find out that Ed is
still with us, and I'd be just as thrilled to find out that John is,
too.

As far as the EAA Chapter recommendation from Kyle, I was a member of
that chapter back before they moved into their 'new' hangar. I guess
it's about 10 years old by now. It won't be any trouble to renew
acquaintances and membership up there.

Looks like all I need to do is continue to take lots of photos. I
wonder how DARs feel about having a CD or DVD handed to them, instead
of a paper log, now that the technology to do so is so much more
available? Wait, I can answer that. The new guys probably love it, the
old guys probably hate it.

Thanks guys --- Kyle, if you belong to Chapter 690, perhaps I'll see
you up there this summer.
