Can You Name an "Aircraft-Accessible" Aviation Museum? by Jay Honeck
In another post about the fabulous new Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the National Air & Space Museum), frustration with not being able to fly into this terrific new facility was evident. I personally find it appallingly ironic that museums which purport to glorify flight are not accessible...

Hyabusa flat 8 by bildan

Reaming by Fortunat1[_12_]
Another stupid question! Been reaming holes in a few 4130 plates. The reamer worked fine for about 20 holes and then the holes started getting a bit smaller to the point the bolts got a bit snug. In my ignorance I thought this one hand reamer would pretty much last me the whole project, but...

Building an electronic Angle of Attack indicator by Mike[_27_]
Has anyone built an electronic angle of attack meter kit. It seems to be something that would be easy to design but beyond my feeble electronics background. I have seen the products that are out there and they are simple differential pressure gauges and are expensive. I don't like the round...

"bush flying" in the suburbs? by [email protected]

Removing Decals by [email protected]
Our club just received our newest 172. The previous owner put a decal on the door advertising his company and we would like to remove it without harming the paint. Any suggestions?

what every boy needs - yeah seriously by Stealth Pilot[_2_]
veedubber and others the venerable old VW engine conversion is quite usable. if you were to take all the lessons learnt from all the engine building done so far and apply them to a new engine design, what would the new engine design look like? I think the flat 4 makes a very serviceable aircraft...

light twins? by Bellsouth News Server
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...

wing levelers by Dick
Sitting around the hanger and discussing the possibility of somehow using off-the-shelf electronic/computer components or gadgits for semi-automatic wing leveling on lightly loaded, short wingspans. Not being computer guys, the current thought is that something should be out there that is...

MoGas Long Term Test: 5000 gallons and counting... by Jay Honeck
Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills (our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of flight time over the last 2.5 years. (See:...

Tire inflation pressure by Paul Lee
What is the proper pressure to use with 5.00-5 mains and 10x3.50-4 nose for a 2250 gross canard plane? Another related question: both mains tend to loose air slowly - would be flat after about 3 months sitting. Is this typical or should I get new...
