Pretty incredible story: http://www.ez.org/birdstrike.htm Long-EZ pilot at 9,500 feet hit a bird, which shattered his prop, and the broken prop took off almost all of one winglet. Full aileron was only able to keep the wings level above 110 knots. Landed safely...sounds like a damn fine...

For $1750, you can have a decent experimental A-65-8F, which type of engine has flown more than one aircraft for over 1000 hours. AND has gobs of premade accessories AND actually puts out 65 horsepower AND doesn't require "fudging" to make weight, like nearly all auto engine conversions,...

On the Kitplanes website there's a "pay-per-view" feature that allows you to download individual articles from past issues - at $7.50 a whack - but I figure "Okay - no waiting - cool"... In my case I needed the September and November '04 Jim Weir column so I can build his slick VOR tester. So I...

Have any readers here completed a moni? Is there an estimate as to how long it takes the typical builder to complete one? -- FF

Does anyone have information about the Long Easy accident at Sunrise Sky Park, Melba, Idaho, that killed Davey Jones? I believer the accident occurred June 28th. There was very little news coverage. All I have heard is that it was a landing accident and that the passenger...

A few days ago someone asked about the Airboss frequencies at Oshkosh. In Jim Weir's OshBound.zip file you'll find OshFreq05.pdf, which lists many frequencies for Airventure including the Airboss frequencies. Go to www.rstengineering.com, click on Oshkosh Bound and then click on OshBound.zip. ...

Instead of using a left/right fuel selector, could I use two check valves and connect the two tanks into a single feed? ---|-----T-----|----- Where | and | are the check valves and 'T' is a T-connector towards the header tank. The check valves prevent fuel moving from one tank to the other....

Does anybody know a good place to locate parts for a KX170B? Specifically, I need to replace at least three of the four switches (com on/test and nav voice/ident). As I understand it, the newer radios had a revised switch. I am fairly sure I have the older style radio, but would use the new...

Hello, My wife and I are spending five nights in Seattle between July 4th and July 8th (leaving Saturday, July 9th). Since we're driving in on the fourth, we basically have the 5th through the 8th as full days to explore. We have to spend one day on the Olympic Penninsula (fond memories for my...

I have a couple of radios that are excess to my current needs, but I really don't want to sell them. It's the old "Why didn't I keep those around. Now I've got to buy new ones" syndrome. Here's the list (all 12 volt only): Microair 760 (760 COM) Narco Com 11A (360 COM) Genave A-200 (180 COM,...

Doesn't putting aluminum foil on your TV's antenna (rabbit ears) help reception by catching more rays? So in a composite airplane, with the antenna inside the fuselage, what about putting some foil on it to catch radio rays better?

Jay, I was reading one of your posts and thought of another suite for the Inn. How about a room honoring experimental-Amature Built Aircraft. I have no doubt many of us have parts we could contribute. Gig G

Do we have any who is a math whiz here? I want to find a formula to calculate the position of an airplane throughout a 1G roll. The reason I'm doing this is so I can build a "roll track" for a remote control car so the car will alway have a positive g force on it to keep it on the track. Anyone...
