Metal Prop vs. Wood Prop by
Larry Smith
I have a wood prop on my Taylorcraft and the GPS says it's slow, at around
65 kts. How about a discussion on the relative merits of wood and aluminum
props. I understand that wood is easier on your engine but the aluminum
prop is more efficient. Another thing I notice too, especially on...

down the road resale by
Rob
Does anyone have experience with the resale value of a homebuilt.
Lets say I build an RV-7 or Lancair ES, fly it for ten years and then decide
to retire to a condo in FL (yeech).
Could I expect to sell a used experimental aircraft for the same amount of
cash I spent on construction?

tail buffeting and leading edge fillets, strakes by
Wallace Berry
I've recently bought a little rag and tube homebuilt. It's a Stits SA6b
"Flut-R-Bug". It's a tailwheel version and had some cosmetic mods so
that it is a fairly attractive little bird (relative to the butt ugly
original configuration). This is a midwing, strut braced design.
There is some...

automotive parts on airplane engines by
Wallace Berry
Automotive alternators are sometimes installed on certified airplanes.
Are automotive (or any other type) starters ever used on a certified
engine. For instance, is there a Delco automotive equivalent to the
starter on a C85?
Thanks,
Wallace

Flying with Guns (was: canopy breaking tool?) by

the word I have is that a permit in UT appears be accepted in all
other states that allow concealed carry.
Looks like UT accepts others, but not vice versa.

TAERO 4000? by
Al E. Kat
Anybody here know anything about this company?
WWW.aerospectives.com
A Google search for a thread turned up nothing. It sounds a little
suspicious to me. Aerospectives, an innovative aerospace company and
veterinarian clinic, another division of Bob's Conoco station.?

These are the coolest certificates by
Frederick Wilson
I just got on of the new FAA pilot certificates. The hard card ones. I
wanted to change my number from my SSN to something different.
I think it took a month. But still the card is real nice. It is one of the
better changes out of the government.

email attack by

I am surrounded and they are coming through the wire.
Need immediate tactical air support!
email, that is.
I've been targeted, accurately, and I do believe that
they finally got me.
Something got through my filters a few weeks ago and took
my computer back to the stone age.

Props and Wing Warping... was soaring vs. flaping by
Wright1902Glider
Not wanting to post at the end of a mile-long thread, I'm starting a new one
(so sue me.) Here are a few clarifications regarding the Wrights, wing
warping, and ancient props, from a guy currently nursing a deep thigh bruise
inflicted by the hip cradle of a Wright 1902 glider.
Props first: Nope...

First, I normally reside in rec.av.mil. Hopefully I'm not violating the

Several months ago someone offered an F/A-18 fuselage for sale on Ebay.
If I recall correctly it was in Olathe KS. A hard drive crash lost the
seller's name from my bookmarks. Does...

A P-47 just flew over by
Bill Daniels
I was in the back yard working on my bird when I heard a soft but very
unusual sound overhead.
Looking up for the sound, there was a silver P-47 at very low power
descending for a pattern entry at Centennial Airport, Colorado. (APA) I
don't know what is going on but that was a very nice airplane...

Lynx Headset by
Jimmy Galvin
Hi:
I have a Lynx Micro System headset that I would like to adapt to GA plugs.
The adapter is $105 +/- USD. This seems to be a lot of money for a foot of
wire and 3 plug connectors. Does anyone know how I can make one.
TAI,

Any problems: headsets to handheld? by
Michael Horowitz
Folks - I'm having difficulty getting audio from my Avcomm headset to
my Icom A-21 handheld.
The Icom requires a condenser microphone and the Avcomm has an
'electret' element, which as I understand is a variety of condenser
mic.
Has anyone had a similar problem and how was it solved? - Mike
