High Altitude operations (Turbo charge???) by
Andre
I operate off an airfield with a ground elevation of 5327 feet ASL.
Obviously my engine (VW 1835cc with Zenith Carb) feels the altitude
somewhat.
I am thinking....
Would Turbo charging help?
What about an electric blower to increase manifold pressure maybe?
Or how about a NOS system?

Jabiru and Rotax engines by
Marco Rispoli
I am doing some research into ultralight engines (planning to build one).
The Rotax 912S and the Jabiru 3300 are the models i am looking into.
Does anyone know how much it costs to maintain them? I just need very
generic examples to get an idea.
How much does it cost to overhaul them (one or the...

SWRFI Pirep.. (long) by
Dave S
I made a day trip out to the SouthWest Regional Flyin held this weekend
in New Braunsfels KBAZ, Texas and thought I would share a little of
what I found. Of course, once you have attended Oshkosk/Airventure,
nothing will compare or measure up... but overall it was an enjoyable trip.
I have to...

Why are low-revving, high torque engines preferred? by
Oliver Arend
This may sound like a stupid question; I realize the prop can only
turn at a certain speed to avoid transonic effects at the tips and has
to be turned with a certain torque to transmit the power needed/
produce enough thrust. So far so good.
But why does the torque have to be produced by the...

You guys have written some cool stories in a thread above. Here's one
I wrote tonight. Here's fictional story number #69a.
It's not polished. It's just a draft. Some of you might like it. Some
of you might identify with it. But, most of all, I hope you enjoy it
because I hope it puts you there....

homemade EFIS system and EMI by
jcpearce
As a pet/learning project I made a data aquisition unit using an 8051
microprocessor and an EPIA M motherboard running a variant of Linux to
process and display the information. It all works but the EMI from the
EPIA M causes way too much noise to the aircraft radios. I have tried
shielding the...

High Cost of Sportplanes by
Gordon Arnaut
It seems a lot of people have been writing letters to Kitplanes magazine
complaining about the unexpectedly steep prices of the new crop of
factory-built sportplanes. So the editor of that publication decided to
respond. His message: Get used to it.
This really infuriated me, not only because the...

Asch 82T engine availability? by
tffy
I was curious if anyone knew of availability and the source of the
Russian Asch-82t 14-cylinder radial motors such as those used on the
full-scale FW-190 copy built by some guys in Germany. I'm assuming that
the row of engines they have aren't all rebuilds. (link below) Just
curious, I guess... I...

DAVIS DA - 8 by

About a dozen years ago I had several phone conversations with
Lleon Davis. He sent me some literature and an 8 x 10 of the

this plane and will be offering plans for it? ...
