JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

I'd posted this in the "liar and fraud" thread but someone suggested nobody would see it as that thread had kinda petered out. It's a good summary of the reality of Bush's Guard record: "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message ... richard...

In August of 2005 I posted a message that offered a few hints about some alternatives to the lathe. In that message I said, "The most common thing used to rotate the work is the ubiquitous quarter-inch drill-motor." I did so because I assumed everyone would be familiar with the many jigs and...

Now that they're going to start enforcing the weight limit on Part 103, and since the Rotax 277 is no longer made, isn't it about time for a new engine/ultralight design? We've got carbon fiber to build a lighter plane, and I'm sure technology has advanced enough to build a lightweight 4-stroke...

Sorry all. Guess I got the wrong button.

First off, I'll order the appropriate butyrate thinner from ATS this morning, so I'll be following the Ceconite process. Yesterday I found myself out of thinner. Went to the net and got some indications that lacquer thinner would act as a thinner. I have a frame holding some Ceconite that's been...

He'll even upgrade it for you! Just remember to have the FBO open the gate for you when you depart the field... cause you ain't flyin' over the fence in that...

This is my first trip into the homebuilt world. I'm probably going to buy a 90% complete project, and want to know if there will be any paperwork hassles I'll have to jump through to get it registered. I realize I won't have the repair authorization as I did not build 51% of the plane, but what...

Is there a place to buy fiberglass/composite materials in the Dallas/Ft Worth area? Thanks Dave

1. If you buy something defective from ACS, watch out. That 1-year warranty on a Mitchell cylinder head temperature gauge is worthless as the teats on a boar hog. Run-around time today: 45 minutes wasted. Their customer service manager, Carolyn Lyon, in Atlanta will put you on hold...

http://www.whiteindustries.com/ White Industries lists engines with flange runout. What does flange runout tell about the engine? It seems some prop strike engines have a larger flange runout reading than others, and the larger the flange runout, the lower the price. Why? Thanks.

I am in need of a 5'x6' sheet of 2024T3, 0.025". Most of what I find available through the likes of Aircraft SPruce is only in 4' wide stock. Anyone with any leads on where in North America I can purchase. I recall seeing an advertisement in Trade a Plane with a lady inside a rolled up tube of...

Browsing controller.com I noticed that there is a category for homebuilt/experimental aircraft. My limited understanding of homebuilt aircraft is that it is an experimental plane, built for the pleasure/education of the builder. The builder of said plane, being the mfr, may work on it or an A&P...

My all time favorite was Badwater Bill's University for Women http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.homebuilt/browse_thread/thread/e17b38b856244c4a/6ead7c7d675869a0?lnk=st&q=%22for+women%22+author%3Abadwater+ bill#6ead7c7d675869a0

Bill asked me to post this for him as he no longer has access to newsgroups. Also, I've posted five pictures of his new airplane on alt.binaries.pictures under my own name. Title of post is "pictures of Lancair Legacy". "Just thought some of you might appreciate seeing my new, bright and shiney...
