FAR Part 91.319 (c) appears to prohibit flight of experimental aircraft over "densely populated areas" (whatever that means). The entire text is: "Unless otherwise authorized...

I imagine circumstances dictate this to some degree, but if your A&P does some work for you, do you tip him? Percentage? - Mike

what is the formula for calculating the length of an antenna based on the frequency to be recieved- I am interested in 315mz ?

I live in a relatively quiet city, until recently. A flight school opened up across the bay from me, and all day long, all I can hear outside are these private plane motor noises. It is really awful. It is like having a gas powered lawn mower above me all day long. As one plane leaves, another one...

I've been offered a set of streamlined stainless wires for my bipe project that have come off a ground looped airplane. The vendor says that only one was very slightly damaged, the threaded end being bent just enough that the rod end wouldn't screw in al the way. He straightened it with a...
