While it was a busy day on the airways (radio wise) I had the same result; ATC said scratchy but readable at 15 miles. Tried twisting my arm around the back of the seat to use the rear PTT but it was too painful while wating for the frequency to open up. I did try calling up another aircraft at an...

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? Tony

I have come by a lathe that has some electrical problems. The unit has a 2 hp 3 phase 220 volt motor. One of the magnetic relays was burned out when I got the lathe. I replaces the relay, turned the switch on and the brand new relay burned up also. Though the lathe came with most of the tooling...

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...

I have designed and built a headphone adapter/transformer for some custom-molded in-ear headphones that offer excellent noise isolation (passive). I actually use them as a musician. In the plane, they sound very nice and are quite comfortable. So - what I want is a boom mic. I've actually...

ET onboard a ship. Have decided after time to have own tools. Got them packed into one of those larger wheel-around, pull-the-handle-out check-in hard-shell Samsonites. Ends up being a bit heavy, cause of tool junkie genetic coding. Works great..... except when have to go up or down...

Someone told me the digital air-speed meter can be used in car by fan? How to do it? Anyone can tell me situation. Thanks a lot. Luo

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 amount of heat which could disrupt the Epoxy over time. Since my plane...

Anybody got a real good reason not to use: FRS Channel 3 (no PL) for around the field (we found it to be the least crowded of the channels last year, but if I catch one more kid screaming obscenities into their little radios...). Ham 2-meter 145.75 simplex both air and ground (52 simplex is...

I've come across a supply of wire at a reasonable price that I think I want to use to wire my plane. It is NOT aircraft wire, but I have all the spec on it. It is MTW (machine tool wire) AMW 1015/1230, FT1 and VM1 rated. The 18 guage is 16 strand. Insulation is PVC (not crosslinked) rated for -55...

I have a rocket deployed ballistic recovery chute for sale on ebay. It is a Second Chantz model Aerosafe 550. One or two dents in the case but that should not affect it's functionality. It is used... but never used. It should be re-packed by a parachute rigger before being mounted on an aircraft....
