I can't believe I haven't book marked Johns page about zoom. Can anyone send me that? I need to forward it to someone who is about to send me their "thoughts" on ANN and why its so good... John

These are the most wonderfully engineered oleo struts in the world. They are easy to rebuild and easy to service. Filling one with 5606 hydraulic fluid, however, is not best done by the book. You slip a tube which fits tightly over the schrader (with the stem removed) and the other end of the...

I need to cut a panel to mount one 3.125" and one 2.25" What size hole saws do I use? Do I use smaller sizes, say 2.125" for 2.25" and 3" for 3.125"? Thanks.

Anybody know if the titanium ti-downs are still being sold? I sent a couple of emails to the site I found (http://www.airtimemfg.com/) to no luck. Is someone else selling them?

Definition of misery: Going to the Arlington airshow and having it pour down rain all day Friday with winds blowing everything away that was not tied down. The real misery part was having to listen to Zoom be interviewed on the PA system talking about ALL of the airplanes he has flown and ALL of...

Basic Facts A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of CASH within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!" But like...

That was a good post answering Horowitz. I have just done a lot of painting and agree that orange peel is because of paint not flowing out for lack of solvent. You have to find a balance --- too much solvent and you get runs; too little solvent and you get orange peel. When you get it just...

In trying to restore an uncompleted, decades old project, some corrosion is evident in the wing spars and as an old non-aero engineer, I would like to know the basis or the process for evaluating it before proceeding. The spar has stacked, rectangular-bar caps riveted to a "C" shape web (as in...

Last weekend I lost my spinner through my prop. I had removed it the previous weekend because the screw kept coming loose. I was going to leave it off until I found the right solution. An A&P where I keep my plane saw me messing with it, and came over to help. He went and grabbed a bolt and a...

For those of you who don't know this guy, he is one class act. You can order A-65, C-85, C-90, and O-200 parts from him and he will send them to you with a bill. That's how trusting he is. A year or so ago I bought some Continental parts from Woody, including a set of stellite-faced exhaust...

Anybody know the location of a list of aviation wrecking yards like Faeth in Sacto?

Anybody know a source for metric brass screws for the Microair transponder? The ones that came with it are steel and I need to cut down on magnetic interference. I think they are 12mm x 4mm dia x 0.8mm pitch.

I'm new to the group. My name is Thomas and I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the synergyair fiberglass class? Will it be good or bad? I want to know what people think. Hope to hear some responses soon. Thank you for your time. Thomas

I want use my home workshop to rebuild an old, junked restroom from a USAF DC9. The milspec drawings show a slot for "used razor blades". How often am I supposed to clean out the used razor blades to maintain airworthiness specs?
