Exhaust Valves by
Boelkowj
I am having my 0200A top end serviced for new rings, "miked" out for tolerances
and valves looked at and replaced as needed. My question is with 650 TT on the
engine can a careful visual by the certified overhaul shop satisfactorily
determine that the exhaust valves can still be reused rather than...

(sorta OT) Free Ham Radio Course by
RST Engineering
With the crossbreeding of amateur (ham) radio operators and pilots being
something on the order of 25%, this is only slightly OT.
There is a free online ham radio course being offered and sponsored by RST
Engineering. It is intended to take anybody with an interest in getting a
ham radio license...

V8 fuel flow by
Robert Bates
I was reading on a site about someone running a Chevy LS1 that was derated
to 320hp and bone stock that was running 10.9 gal/hr at cruise. Does anyone
have experience with these engines? If it is accurate, that is quite a
savings over Lycoming and Continentals of that HP.

Flying on the Cheap - Again by
[email protected]
To All:
A fellow homebuilder spotted a female air-hose quick-connect fitting on
a fuel I'd just finished sloshing (riveted aluminum tank) and told me
he hadn't bothered to pressure-test his tank since it was gravity feed
and he figured just filling it up was enough of a test. He went on to
say...

Respriator Questions by
Jim Carriere
Hello group,
Who here has worked with MEK and other wonderful solvents? Where did
you get your respirator gear from, and what models? The filter ones
available in the chain "hardware" stores have fairly vague
specifications on the labels: usually suitable for aromatics,
solvents, etc. This is...

EAA Board Of Directors (new rules) by
RST Engineering
OK, sports fans, the rules of the game have changed since I last ran for the
BOD in 1997. They no longer accept email signatures; they want wet ink
sigs. Therefore, we have to play the game a little differently.
If you will please email me with subject EAABOD, I
will send...

Vacuum Gyro Question by
Jim Carriere
This is one of those questions where there must be a simple answer.
This is probably the forum to get the best explanation.
Why aren't vacuum driven gyro instruments driven by pressure instead?
The reason I'm wondering is because about 2" of suction is
sufficient to power a turn needle, and while...

EAA Board Of Directors (Here We Go Again) by
RST Engineering
I sort of feel like the Harold Stassen of the EAA election process, but here
we go again.
In 1997, I ran for the EAA Board Of Directors and got some 700 of you to
email me your proxies. The vote was 700 to 35,000 for the proxies that EAA
held for the current board member candidate. (I ran in...

normal/utility category by

I know it's back to basics, but I still don't quite have this one down.
A Mustang II is rated at 1600 lbs in the utility category, but no spec
is given for the normal category. Normal cat will allow a higher weight
capability, AIUI. Is the difference between the two based solely on how
hard you...

2 Engines - 1 Prop...ME Rating? by
Andy Asberry
I've Googled for everything I can find on 2 engines driving 1 prop.
There are several military and civilian examples. Nowhere did I see
that a ME rating was required of the pilot. I'm familiar with ME
Centerline thrust.
Cites, observations and comments please.

Cheap aircraft covering materials by
[email protected]
Awhile back, several group members were experimenting with cheaper ways
to cover a fabric-covered aircraft. I am currently constructing one
such aircraft, a Wag-A-Bond and want to cover it with something
affordable. Anyone have some ideas?

Flying platforms/airgeeps by

How would something like the Hiller flying platforms, the Piaseki "AirGeeps"
