Hi, I'm a gasser newbie - been flying my first one for about 2 weeks. It's been great! Great sound, cheap fuel and a full tank gives over 30 mins of aerobatic flight with lots of long uplines thrown in. As I generally do, I did a full strip down and inspection after about my 20th flight today.

I was surprised to find that 2 of my engine mounting bolts had worked a little loose! This was despite copious amounts of locktite. Anyhow, I ran out to the shop and got nylon lock nuts AND spring washers to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I notice that the extra vibration from the gas engine does play merry hell with the air frame and fittings - after my 10th flight, one of the anti-rotation pins from a wing panel came out and had to be epoxied back in.

What I would like to know is:-

#1 What sort of inspection/maintenance schedules should I be looking at for a gasser? and

#2 What are the special problem areas to be looking especially hard at?

I know that flying a big gasser brings an added responsibility of not damaging anyone or anything, and I would like to fly safe!

Thanks!
