Welding Regulator Leakage by
J.Kahn
I hooked up an oxygen regulator to a tank and opening the tank valve
slowly it registered about 2200 psi. To check for the seal at the
regulator connection I then turned off the tank valve with the regulator
closed so that the gage was reading only the pressure of the few cc's of
gas trapped...

I've got a bunch of old turnbuckles that were apparently removed from planes

Source of large diameter thick wall tube by
Bill Daniels
This request isn't exactly for an airplane but it's for a glider winch.
I need to find a source for small amounts of 6.5" OD 1" wall steel tube. I
don't care too much about the alloy as long as it's reasonably strong and
both machinable and weldable.
Thanks in advance.

503 part name by
Dean Scott
What is the official name of the part I would call the stator or
magneto housing for a free-air cooled 503 engine? This part would
replace the typical part called the Fan Housing, but DOES NOT have all
the extra casting meant to hold the forced-air cooling fan... it's
just a simple spacer ring...

Fiberglass revisited by
Lou
I came across some fiberglass at 1.6oz per yard. I bought a small
sample to play with but it's an extremely fine weave. I've been using
the 1.45 oz e-glass for a while now. Can anyone tell me if this is just
as good, better or worse to use?

Why no plywood monocoque homebuilts? by
[email protected]
Howdy,
After reading a bit about the early Lockheed Vega, the Focker Albatross
DIII and the Dehavilland Mosquito I was a bit suprised that plywood
monocoque construction hasn't been used in any more modern airplanes.
(Or at least none that I can think of) What gives? Is it cheaper to use
glass...
