I have what I hope is a simple question on the BD-4 landing gear. On my BD-4 plans the rudder donuts that are called out for the main and nose gears are identified as a Lord Mount (J-11968-5). There is three of these required for each aircraft, one for each leg. My question is can you still buy...

I have a database, which I will gladly sell you, for all these pilots. Please send ME a private email, as I am too important to monitor web sites. Dude. PS I would never put my email on a NG, and you are going to find out why soon... "Brad Mallard" wrote in message

Here's a joke for you that I got from another thread, The Public Works Minister of a former French colony in Central Africa is in France in an official visit. He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French counterpart. When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say: - My...

Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801 lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing about all the...

I am thinking seriously about getting one and need opinions to (try and) change my mind.

Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where they show the process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm confused on how a spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the foam itself would provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem like you'd...

Hi, My name is Mike Scovel. I am building a VariEze and am very interested in using Jim Wiers RST Engineering antenna for my comm. However, I do not how long it must be and just exactly how to fit it to my winglets. A gentleman from WA is going to send me a sketch of how to fit it to...

Tom, I'm coming in here from left field but, I caught a picture of your spacewalker on the Warner site and fell in love with the color scheme. I am at present in the process of completing a 1/3 scale RC model of your aircraft. I can enter it in RC scale contests if I can show that the subject...

Looking to get in touch with someone who is building a Murphy Elite, or Murphy Rebel somewhere in the Los Angeles, CA area. -- R. J. (Bob) Van Horn Long Beach, California

Just wondering what the collective experience is, if any. I know of several people with the 160 HP O-320 using mogas, but they're careful about vapor lock in summer. Used in experimental aircraft, of course, not in a certified aircraft. Keep in mind too that the CR is 8.5 to 1. A friend wants...

Is there anyone here who has gone through the process of getting an airworthiness certificate for a homebuilt aircraft as an experimental, exhibition in group IV? I'd like to compare notes with someone who has already done it. I had no idea what was involved when I went into it. Heck of a way to...

want some extra cash, try this THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! A little while back, I was on my computer having a grand old time, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of...

Greetings, I recall a few years ago several companies that were building prototypes of ultralight sea-planes that flew in ground effect over the water. They used fiberglass hulls and tube and fabric control surfaces. They were supposed to be classified as boats and not planes since they were...

I just read a post by Stealth Pilot and wondered where he is. I tried to post it but it bounced. Here's another try before I give up. Hey Stealth: Aren't you talking more about the Lancair IV-P ? I know one went in from a spin this summer down under. BTW, where in Aus are you? I just flew...

I've not fully studied aircraft construction techniques so forgive me if the answer to this is obvious. I've noted that most(if not all) aircraft made with aluminium airframes seem to be riveted rather than welded. I'm not sure about aircraft with composite or fibreglass skins so I won't...
