Has anyone put a fuel-injection system on an O-200? If so, what are the results? You're probably wondering why. I was just curious about doing this. Calvin

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words... http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2464715274 They call it a HoverCopter, I'd suggest the name CrapCycle. You be the judge.

I've noticed that my prop is beginning to show signs of wear -chips in the leading edge, and cracks in the clear finish. Given that I'm having shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks (and probably won't be up to flying until the arm is substantially healed), I should have some time on my hands to...

I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left KIOW this morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident on 9/27. Rumors are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to ground crash. No other details. For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party...

Hope this isn't bad form to ask so direct a question. Just wondering what you folks think about Mr. Algie's aircraft kit. It has seen some great progress over the years, and while I realize it doesn't yet fly, the man seems quite serious and the design appears very well thought out and...

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...

What makes a quality microphone in a headset? somethat that doesn't pick up the cockpit noise, but still transmits your voice clearly? I've got a project in mind that would require such a microphone. I thought of using the parts from a reconditioned headset, but I'd like to get some...

I have a question, and I suspect that someone in this group can help me. I fly a Zenith CH-300 that has a wood prop. Actually, I think that it may be the last prop ever made by the Great American Propeller Co. This prop does not have any leading edge protection. Years ago I found a product sold by...

Word is the threat level's going to orange. Expect more airspace restrictions, ATC delays, etc.

Has anyone built a Banty Should I build it Any negative comments about this Banty or positive Thank you

Last night during the Olympic women's platform diving competition, one gal blew her dive and her chance for a medal. She was understandably distraught and was sitting behind the platform crying. An NBC cameraman zoomed in on her face, probably chuckling with glee at his luck in being able to...

One of these days I will need to do a "top end" and wondering if higher compression cylinders would be a way to go. That way I would feel more comfortable using 100LL since my source of 80 octane is no longer available here. Would I also expect a little more horse power? Thanks Larry

I thought I would throw out this old debate question to get peoples personal experiences and reasons for preferences? Thanks

Subject: Aircraft Spruce's attitude Abuse I went to Arlington Washington fly in, Saturday July 12, the*re I purchased from Aircraft Spruce and specialty a handheld ICOM A-22 and *ordered an Airmap GPS . I took the A-22 with me (and paid for it with c*heck)and was told that they will ship the...

Is it me again or are the text and wiring diagrams hosed up again in the Feb Kitplanes PTT followup? Jim

Is anyone aware of statistical or other data that would indicate what percentage of engines make it well beyond the factory specified TBO, and how much longer they can be flown safely? I worry about sudden engine failure due to metal fatigue. Many of the small Lyc. engines have a TBO of around...

Okay, so I've been "volunteered" to be on the board of directors of the biggest fly-in event in Iowa City's history, the Eastern Iowa Big Kids Toy Show, scheduled for May 20 - 21, 2006. See us at www.BigKidToyShow.com (Yes, they made me wear a -- *sob* -- TIE for the photos... It was awful! ...

I'm looking for the Magellan website and can't seem to find it. I need information on their altitude encoder. Thanks Dave

Cut a piece of welding rod of the required length Flatten one end with your favorite ball peen. Drill a small hole big enough for whatever you want to thread. Put a point on the other end. Cut and bend to your heart's content. Larry Smith wrote:
