Eric welcome to the list. The RX7 is an ideal engine for a Locost, but has a problem with noise. The engine is very loud and needs a lot of muffling even in...

Metric commonly uses 8.8 and 10.9. 8.8 is slightly stronger than grade 5 and 10.9 is almost identical to grade 8 - assuming you could get fasteners in the same...

Congratulations. You should indeed jump up and down on it to verify the spring rates are correct. Perhaps 2Hz, a little less at the front. So the exuberance...
