Hello, I've been wondering if it's possible to adapt a cellphone handsfree headset to aviation use. For my purposes I don't need noise reduction so don't like wearing a full headset. I realize that the plugs need to be adapted but just wondering if they need to be impedance matched and if the...

One of the problems with a 1 gig camera memory card is that it is possible to take virtually unlimited pictures at OSH. If you figure it takes a minimum of 1 minute per pic to look at, adjust, and save -- and I took 250 photos -- we're looking at a minimum of four hours just to save the pix...

A possibility exists I might want to move the fuselage of the Tcraft to my back yard in order to work on it (wings off, stored elsewhere). I'd need to build a shelter of some kind. 12x26. Has anyone else consider this and if so, what did they do? I see portable garages for sale on the 'net, but...

Folks - I had another propstrike on my engine. Last time, my A&P sent it to an engine shop rather than doing the work himself. Experience has show that even if all the shop does is open and inspect, it will cost me $3500. I need to try and get that cost down. Of course, all this will have to be...

When you remove fabric from a tube fuselage, the part that is glued down will be like concrete. I know I dare not scrape for fear of scratching the tubing. How do you soften/remove the remaining fabric and glue residue? - Mike

Hi All, I'm not there yet, but, I have a new Lycoming O-360 and in the process of building a homebuilt kit. Lycoming says to break in the engine at full power and gives procedures on how to do it. The kit needs slow taxi, then fast taxi, glazing of the brakes. After take off there are procedures to...

I just read in the newspaper that John Walton, the billionaire son of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, was killed in a homebuilt airplane? That got me thinking to look for a NG that might be dedicated to this activity, and I found this one. This is all new to me, quite honestly, and disturbing. ...

Hi All. Just wondering if there are any props out there that can be used on an experimental aircraft engine, ie:subaru or RX-8 Renesis, which have a beta range. Don't even want to consider a certified unit as this would probably cost more than the rest of the firewall forward components. Thanks in...

Greetings, What light twins exist now? What I'd like to have is something like the AirCam, for 100 mph, carefree low and scenic flying. Actually, push/pull symetrical thrust would be even better. The AirCam would be fine as is, if I could get a kit that's made from traditional materials, rather...

And so we must part again. Economic obsolescence brings despair once again. The joy, the inner peace, the relaxing comfort that comes with a familiar trusted colleague slips away once more. The anxiety of starting over with a new partner is facing me, again. The future is daunting. My first...
