what is a fender washer? in which situation is it used?

I think it might be healthy to be reminded ocasionally that bad things can happen if you don't respect what your doing, especially in aviation. Perhaps it'll make me a little more thorough on subsequent preflights. And I find no problem with learning from other's mistakes. So I watched the video...

Greetings, I recall a few years ago several companies that were building prototypes of ultralight sea-planes that flew in ground effect over the water. They used fiberglass hulls and tube and fabric control surfaces. They were supposed to be classified as boats and not planes since they were...

Where can I find a fairly detailed explanation of the airworthiness certification of an experimental aircraft? Specifically, I'd like to know if experimentals get certified in a class (land, sea, single engine, multi-engine) or just in category. I'm sure I'll have additional questions, which is why...

My Continental 85 is leaking oil and appears to be from pushrod tubes and valve covers. It is on an experimental plane. While I can cure the one leaking valve cover, the pushrod tubes have those heavy "wirecircles with two tangs" over the rubber end fittings. Some tubes are leaking at bottom and...

A very good aerobatic instructor. Duane Cole was not a show off-stunt airshow pilot, with engine noise, but a very good performer, teaching pilots how to keep control of the plane when doing aerobatics. I watched him many times since the 1968 EAA Rockford days. Thank you, Duane Cole for your...

A friend has an Avid Flyer for sale, I'm interested. Anyone have any suggestions on things to look for, watch out for, or suggestions in general? It's a Model C Speedwing with Rotax 532 with "B" gearbox. Basic instrumentation, no radio, has lights at least on wingtips. Low time, clean (he...

There's a discussion on a ul ng about a guy that built a strut braced light plane and in a fit of overkill (apparently ) decided to add a (non plans) jury strut. He drilled a hole (3/16") on the bottom of the tubular alum spar. Then realized he may have made a mistake. Whats the outcome and is...

I saw the Titan T-51 down at SnF this year and I've been thinking about it ever since. I like it a little more than the RV-8 at the moment even though it's not as fast and costs more initially. What do you folks think about the T-51? Does anyone know someone who is building one? Do they have or...

My wife saw one of these at AirVenture and thought it would be useful for her projects. I'd never heard of it, and seemed pricey ($180 for a nibbler that attaches to your electric drill, plus some spare cutters.) Anybody got any word on this? thanks Ed Wischmeyer

Hi all... Was doing a little web reading on part 103 Ultralights (both gyro's and more conventional winged thingys)..... And it quickly becomes obvious that staying under that 250 pound or so limit aint easy... So, so the gas tanks (like everything else on an ultralight) doesn' t really inspire...

I just read in the military newsgroup that the EAA's B-17 had both mains collapse on landing at the Van Nuys airport. Ted
