Björn Flodén and his wife built one of the first BD-4s back in the 70s. When they moved to Colorado he wanted more power and installed a Ford V-8. He never got it in the air, though, as he passed away before completion. His daughter wants to sell his project now. While the BD-4 builders help...

Last time I went to Sun N Fun was in 1990 and I think back then you had to be an EAA member or pilot to get out to the homebuilt parking area. I plan to take my 75 year old Dad. I am not a current EAA member anyone know what the current rules are? How about ticket prices or a schedule of events? I...

New at this am I so how about a little advice here? First of all I have already washed one of the two wheelpants and it was filthy with oil, grease, 5606, rottweiler pi**, and ramp dreck, so the washing took a long hour scrubbing and rinsing. I'm thinking that when the sanding and paint removal...

I am thinking of getting into a new homebuilt project but I wonder where to get accurate numbers of how many of a particular design are flying or where I might see some examples of the kit I am thinking of building. Does the EAA keep a record of the kits flown into the big fly-ins Oshkosh or...

I'm going to be re-doing the panel in my old Bonanza and would like to get rid of the gauge cluster i currently have and replace it with something that can fit in a standard instrument hole. The cluster takes up a lot of real estate. I need fuel pressure, oil pressure, ammeter and fuel gauge in...

Jim & the group: Most of us know how expensive navigation lights are for our aircraft. When building in wingtip lights, many of us don't need the fancy light housings that come with most STC'd light systems. I've followed and enjoyed Jim's previous work on panel LEDs and various topics over the...

I've got an old screw pitch gauge that I inherited. There's no mfr's name marked on it, just "Number 137". the individual leaves are marked with two numbers each, but these numbers are not reciprocals. The first number is always a small integer which I presume is threads-per-inch. the second...

I am curious to know if anyone is interested in a Zenith CH 300 kit, partially assembled. Several years ago, a friend had started to build a CH 300 but changed his mind and went on to build and finish an RV-9A. I volunteered to poke around the 'net for him. If there is anyone who might be...
