Can someone point me on how to build a fiberglass fuel tank and use aluminum fittings? Thanks Bill

For the past several days I have only been averaging about 1 to 5 messages per day. That's way down from normal! I mean, there are usually that many from Juan alone...anybody else seeing this problem? Scott

I'm looking for a plans built aircraft that is mostly steel tube and fabric skin biplane. Two seats and amphibious floats. Can anyone point me to such an aircraft? Also is there a good directory somewhere of available plans? Thanks, David

Instead of the Javelin Ford, which appears totally dead, or the Chevy V6 that is 3/4 a small block has nayone thought about flying the pushrod Chrysler V6? They are becoming available pretty cheap.

Has anyone used these trading systems? www.consensus-trading.com or www.qqqq-trading.com Let me know what you think of them if you have.

Has anyone seen the show "How It's Made"? It's on the Discovery Channel. They had a segment on Diamond Aircraft. It was quite interesting to show the fiberglass and carbon sections being made and then assembled. They also showed the engine install and some avionics. Unfortunatly it was extremly...

The editor's Log in the current Sport Aviation mentioned that the Experimental Seabee featured in last month's magazine had possibly run into some problem with its certification. The implication was that the Reno FSDO had screwed up issuing an amateur build AW certificate. So did this chap...

hello everyone, i need some expert trade study along the line of what you guys are actually doing here. except in my case its a Very Light Jet (VLJ). would you recommend 1 or 2 engines and why? and to remind you VLJ's are for short range flights and cost is usually very important

Since the untimely death of our friend (and chief charter pilot at the local FBO) while ferrying a Spencer Air Car back from Seattle, WA last week, our local pilot community has been roiled with speculation about the cause of the crash. Of course we won't know anything definitive for a long while,...

Greetings.... We have recently added our own headsets to the expanding XCOM range. Made to our specifications in South Korea these headsets are not cheap and nasty. With silicon gel filled ear cups and broad headband providing fantastic comfort as well as excellent passive noise suppression....

Warning! Danger! Shameless Self-Promotion! After four years of preparation and two years of work, the "Oshkosh Suite" -- our 17th aviation theme suite -- is finally complete! With 24 consecutive Oshkosh Fly-Ins under our belts, we *knew* from the moment we bought the hotel in '02 that we...

Much ado has been made of the Mars Rovers and the use of a vehicle to explore the moon in the 1970s. I was curious if there was enough atmosphere on a planet like Mars that Astronauts could utilize Ultralights in their exploration and if so, what would the make-up of the ultralight aircraft be,...

The Netherlands has decided to no longer postpone Mode-S introduction. Starting March 2007, all IFR flights must be Mode-S transponder equipped, and in March 2008 this becomes mandatory for VFR as well. This includes flights coming in from foreign countries. I'm curious as I hear that most...

I notice where a group in Europe is reviving the Schnieder Cup Trophy races using ultralight seaplanes. I was curious if there were any Ultralight races, land or sea, going on here in the United States or North America?

What is the largest formation of Ultralights ever assembled for flight, when and where was the formation held, and was the formation held for Air Show or other purposes? Are Ultralights adept at formation or can they be blown around to the point that formation flying would not be safe? Is there a...

Are Ultralights currently in use by Flying Doctors organizations or for other Mercy relief missions (i.e., Delivering medicines to remote locations with limited landing fields)? If so, where (on what continent) would the largest concentration of these operations be? Have Ultralights been utilized...

Aircraft Spruce has an exhaust for Pitts, AcroSport, etc. Has anyone used it? If so, did it fit and do you recomend. It bolts to the engine and has ball joints for 2 straight pipes. I plan to use on an AcroSport with AEIO-320. Headwind

On a wooden Super Cub (Light Miniature Aircraft) is one strobe on top of the rudder fin sufficient to make the FAA happy? Asking only about the strobe. I know I need position, tail, etc. Thnaks,

Today they had the official count at 5000! It was an RV-8. (My first RAH post was a question about an RV-8 answered by Juan probably 8 years ago.) Congratulations Van. And this year is the 35th anniversary with over 15,000 tail kits sold. www.vansaircraft.com
