Citabria 7ECA Exhaust Wanted by
Capt. Dave
Hi
Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar
to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same
exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for
horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...

Is the R44 safer than the R22? by
Capt. Doug
Wooduuuward wrote in message I read that the R44 sales have 'taken off'.
From frequently browsing
the FAA crash reports, the R22 is listed almost every other week there.
The R44 is larger, faster and flys higher. Is it safer?
i.e.: in the last month: there are four incidents listed for...

Reported by CNN this morning!!!!! by
Capt. Doug
Toks Desalu wrote in message Can you believe this?
I studied regulation back in college and don't remember any specific
regulation that said the hand must be at control at all time. Anybody can
point it out?
Why they really want to make us look bad?
The airplane was a DHC-6 Twin Otter...

It's that time of year again. by
Capt. Doug
Well... It's that time of the year again. It's time for my annual
proficiency check. Last year I almost crashed. This year was no different.
My helper pilot and I ran through the routines while a check-airman sat in
the jumpseat observing us. We cured hot starts and hung starts. We didn't
forget...

Preceptor Ultra Pup? by
Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe
Anyone here flown one? I'm sure there is no shortage of opinions...
I'm thinking of a 2 place LSA at the low end of the price range and this
seems to fit. I'd prefer a scaled down "conventional" airplane (with the
tailwheel on the right end) over a scaled up ultralight style...

Miss May 2004 by
Capt.Doug
I didn't post to the wrong group. Playboy Magazine's Miss May 2004 should be
looked at seriously. She wants to be a corporate Learjet pilot. Anyone care
to help her build some stick time?
D. (P.S.- She can hold altitude and heading very well in the KingAir)

JM-2 plans? by
Capt.Doug
I understand that the little yellow race plane on the wall at EAA's museum
was a homebuilt with plans offered. Anyone know if plans can still be
obtained? How come the design wasn't copied by other racers?

Good-bye, My Good Friend by
Capt.Doug
And so we must part again. Economic obsolescence brings despair once again.
The joy, the inner peace, the relaxing comfort that comes with a familiar
trusted colleague slips away once more. The anxiety of starting over with a
new partner is facing me, again. The future is daunting.
My first...

The perfect approach by
Capt.Doug
It was a beautiful day in land that Mickey built- 76 degrees with full sun
while the northern folks got their first freezing blast of winter. We headed
off-shore over the islands of the Caribbean. I was on the second radio
talking to old friends and catching up on news from all the islands that...

What are the odds? by
Capt.Doug
It was a clear calm morning. The sun was just coming up over the ocean. The
temperature was around 70F. I had an easy commute in to work. The employee
parking shuttle bus driver waited for me to walk over and board instead of
making me wait 15 minutes for the next one. I had only one Jeppeson...

issuing mechanic's certificates without giving much of a test. He was
located in Sanford, Florida. Nearly 3000 certified letters were mailed out
last week to everyone who used this examiner from October 1995 to Aug 1998.

Homebuilding Killed John Walton by
Carl
I just read in the newspaper that John Walton, the billionaire son of
Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, was killed in a homebuilt airplane? That
got me thinking to look for a NG that might be dedicated to this
activity, and I found this one.
This is all new to me, quite honestly, and disturbing. ...

After the meeting they were having an antenna workshop to build some
