Listers, I need help, please. About three weeks ago I had to push an airframe that I was working on, out into the open for space requirements. The windshield was intalled on this airframe, but still covered in the protective plastic "masking" to prevent scratching. Now, after three weeks in the...

This is the first 1.8" SSD that I have seen with a female IDE connector (properly called micro-ATA). It is used in The popular Fujitsu 1600 tablet, some other notebooks / tablets, and even some iPods. Pilots can replace their hard disks with this solid state disk to prevent crashes (no pun...

I have a Cherokee 180, with the short hershey bar wing. While I love the plane, I always wish it could go a bit faster, or use a bit less fuel to get to my destination. I have followed the composite homebuilding movement for many years, and am amazed at the sleekness of a composite wing. The...

It is official, the entire state of Florida is now a zoom free zone!!! Anyone in the neighborhood of 7208 Crescent Dr. Chapel Hill North Carolina 27516 get your hip boots out because the sewage will start backing up there. Frank M.Hitlaw

Sorry all, I had my e-mail box lying fallow for so long I nearly forgot I had it. No doubt some of you have been trying to get me there to whine, tell me to take it to e-mail, tell me what you think of me or offer me your firstborn to just go away. I know how important this is to some people and...

Just for fun, I decided to get my inspection authorization. (I must be mentally imbalanced?) Pretty tough test, as the FAA doesn't make the question public domain! Anyway, I passed the test, walked out the door and was immediately asked if I wanted to do annuals for the Part 141 School? I polity...

I have just been informed by the designer of the aircraft that I am building that there is a possibility that he may not allow me to use an alternative engine. Granted that weight and balance, as well as power requirements must reasonably lie within allowable ranges, what is the roll of the...

I need to add about 1/4" strip to the edge of my newly purchased spruce aileron spar, 'cause I need to add a bevel. The spar is 3" wide so the proposed strip is only a fraction of the area. Can anyone see a problem if I used fir instead of spruce for this strip? Fir is more easily available...

I started on a Marquart Charger back in the mid '90s. I put it into storage after building some wing ribs and some fittings. Circumstances have changed and I'm ready to start building again. I know that how to build a Charger hasn't changed, but the laws about homebuilts may well have. I've not...

I am looking for the fuselage drawing for the Pacific D-8 Sailplane. Does anyone have a copy of the plans ?

A question just popped into my mind this morning. When I'm flying off the 40 hours of phase 1 and I'm limited to 25 miles of my home airport can I land at other airports inside the 25 miles?

Dear listers, I need some help. Three weeks ago I had to push an airframe I was working on, into the open, as I needed space. The lexan windshield was installed with the protective plastic masking left in place. The plastic masking has deteriorated to such an extend, that I can not get it off the...

Can anyone tell me what covering is used on a Falco? I'm pretty sure it's plywood, but is it 100% plywood? Anyone know how thick? Also, is there anything over the plywood like dacron or fiberglass? Lou

i have a radio rated at 10W and a radio rated for 5W output. mine 5 watter isn't a handheld but this is typical output for that genre. assuming they are using the same antenna what is the theoretical range difference between the two and what is the practical range difference? it seems the price...

It's a 'Cushion Needle,' okay? Yeah, you can call it a 'Rib Stitching Needle' if you want to. But expect the price to double (or more). Sometimes it's called a 'Quilting Needle,' 'Button Needle' or just the generic 'Long Upholstery Needle' but whatever it's called, you need at least one and more...
