Ground effect effectiveness by
Tony

Consider a clean low speed airplane -- maybe one of the kit built ones.
Does anyone have some quantitative measure of how much drag is reduced

I fly on Mars by
Tom-Alex Soorhull
I think Mars is better for flying around, because the air isn't so crowded there.
There are so many ruthless plane-owners here on earth that flying is NO fun anymore.

Can a Grumman Goose use normal marine/auto gas? by
togx
For purposes of a fiction novel I'm working on, I need to know if an old Grumman Goose could use fuel found at a marine refilling pier (mogas = auto gas, not diesel) instead of the usual avgas. It is only needed for one trip (not permanently) and hopefully not cause "major" damage to the P&W...

Where to find a salvaged flight deck by
Todd Trainor
Where can I find a fairly complete flight deck from a large twin or
small airliner? Before I make a proposal to buy something like this,
I need to research the cost. We're planning to use it as a display
and for educational purposes.
If it is shorter than 13' tall we could build a trailer around...

Any real posts here? by
TimeTraveller
I see that this forum has been usurped by that MI5 loon as well, too
bad.
Seems odd that he seems to be able to infest every google group with
impunity.
Anyway...is there any posting going on here at all, or has everyone
moved to private message boards?
