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...

Hi Corky, Do you have a project update? How's your project going? Ernesto

I just watched a program about the huge Oresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden, and there was a segment about how the corrosion problem for the bridge was dealt with. Instead of painting, they use sealed compartments that have the air humidity kept below 60%. This they said eliminates...

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...

G'day I am looking for some laminated fiberglass spring to us on the tailwheel of my Murphy Rebel. Could anyone advise me where I might purchase some? thanks and regards

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...

In the latest Air & Space magazine is a surprisingly technical article on the spar problems on the T-34 Mentors. It shows how Mentor wings (and I presume Bonanza and many other Beech wings) are assembled. Instead of being riveted completely together they are in three main pieces. (1) A main...

I'm working on a fabric repair on a Pitts, but I'm unsure as to which process was used. I'm familiar with dope processes. This material appears to have no base tint to the fabric (green nitrate/red polyfiber). There is no silver UV coating. There is a white/light grey base coat and a very glossy...

Drew Fidoe is a Canadian Fly Baby owner whose spare time over the past several years has been expended on rebuilding his airplane after a hangar collapsed on it. During the process, he got interested in the Maule SFSA tailwheel that was installed on his plane. He's done a lot of research and...

Hello All, An "exhaustive" internet search regarding the 0-290G has left me with several unanswered questions. I understand that the EAA published a conversion guide years back that would be very helpful. In the mean time, I am hoping some of you out there can answer any of the following...

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 am fairly new to the world of the Ultralight, and I am hoping to look at some plans before I start buying them, just to have an idea of what I am doing, tools necessary and misc. If there is anybody that knows where I might be able to acquire some plans it would be greatly appreciated. Thank...

Anyone know the status of BD-18? http://www.jimbede.com/ Is it really a joke or what?

Can someone ID this airplane? http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1093439/ No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID this plane. Thanks, Wil
