Well folks, I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms on this. I searched the usenet archives on google about this, and nothing quite answered my question, so... I emailed Skystar, but want to ask here too. The kit manufacturer claims a 150mph cruise and 160mph top speed. This seems a little...

Have had a tig in basement for several years and hardly used. Now that I need it I find that I really suck at it. Started practicing welding little pieces of 4130 together. Decided no way I am touching my fuselage with it and dragged out the mig which I can do ok with. But didn't quite give up and...

I just got done building my niece a HUGE dollhouse for her birthday next month and it dawned on me that I got the plans for the dollhouse from my neighbor who build one for his granddaughter and one of the guys at work asked if he could get a copy of the plans now that I'm done. So what do those of...

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

Jay why don't you quit crossposting? When you cross post as you do, it just dilutes each NG. Jay Honeck wrote: My Narco 120 is in need of replacement. The Narco 810R is a bit too expensive for me Can you just slide the ICOM into the Narco tray? If not, you'll quickly

Twenty year old throttle control with friction lock is slipping. Is there a way to replace the nylon (material?) gripper that the screw flange presses against that in turn presses against the throttle shaft? I could just replace the whole thing but that would be a BIG job. Any and all suggestions...

O.K. the big day has come at last. Ready to fit the wings to the fuselage and need to make four fittings from 4130 .125" sheet. Cut it, jig and weld, drill, file smooth, curse, repeat as necessary. I ordered a 9"x 9" sheet from Wicks and sure enough, it arrives the next day. Sheet doesn't look like...

"Morgans" wrote: Why not use a small 12 volt air compressor, like for a car tire. You could get a couple fittings to "t" into an air valve on a tire (valve stem removed) for the storage tank. Those little compressors are cheap, and will easily run a half hour, but then let it cool for a few...

Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably 110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary. The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...

We have all seen the film of the Spruce Goose lifting off the water for a few seconds only to be retired to its hangar never to fly again but I wonder, what would its performance have been? Did Hughes determine in that brief hop that the aircraft was no good or did ecconomic concerns ground...
