Can you help identify this airport? by
Video Guy
Hello
My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify.
It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that
's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we
just aren't sure.

Does it have to WHITE!!! by
firstflight
I have a composite kit aircraft, and it is time to paint! But I just hate
the idea of painting it WHITE (like most all the others). I understand that
HEAT is a big factor in this decision, and that white attracts the least

each wing. I glued temperary
diagnal braces on the inside to hold while I start to...

Stiffness of finished Carbon Fiber part by
RKT
I have a finished CF sample, a common single-ply weave, that exhibits
extreme stiffness, 'thin-ness' and is very lightweight, it looks dry. I have
molded a part using a similar weave, single ply, and do not get the same
stiffness. I can easily deform the finished part with a press of the thumb.

Fiberglass Cowl Problem by
Boelkowj
Hello All: I have 10-32 screws with 8s size Tennerman Washers as attach
fittings. The cowling holes have worn slowly but surely and now I know it is
time to fix this vibration problem. I like the size of the 8s but I suspect I
really should use 10s. They are unpainted and not bonded to the cowling....

alternate engine in Falco by
Jonny[_2_]
There are many aircraft that allow for a variety of engines. Some
engine makers even supply cowling/nose bowl kits for popular types
(Rans, Vans) etc.
So, what do you think of using a Jabiru 5100 (8 cyl) in a Falco in
place of the Lycoming io-360?
Jabiru is narrower and less tall, but is a few...

What Others Are Saying About Aircraft Spruce by
jls
Just a sampling. There's volumes more in Google, enough to make a stout
hog retch:
Amen to HBW's comments. I've had the same problems with Spruce;
screwed up orders and no one who gives a damn. The fact that they got
so big so quickly is not an excuse for ****ty service. Unfortunately,
they...

Harley oil cooler for interior heat. by
[email protected]
I don't have heat inside my canard plane. Now am considering piping
hot engine oil to the cabin through a small oil cooler with a blower.
I am looking at a Harley Dyna oil cooler - about the right size. My
question is whether such a cooler will stand the typical aircraft oil
pressure. My engine oil...

I have found an excellent downloadable library from Stock Drive
Products/Stirling Instrument. Their website is
www.sdp-si.com
Just go to the the Catalog page and click on "Free Download of
Technical Library". Takes a while but is well worth the effort.

Lazair II by
Tony W
Anybody here have any experience with this little plane? I know it was
originally sold as a kit but the company is gone. Are plans available?
Is it worth trying to build one or are there better options these days?

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?
