Hi guys, I have an Oshkosh Diary posted on my website...www.fairchild24.com. You can go right to it at http://www.fairchild24.com/osh2004.htm I'll post more as time goes on. don

For sale, it was built for me but my needs have changed. Ron has NO email. Engine Professionally Overhauled to New Limits, 0 Timed, Non certified, by: "Reliable Horse Power", Ron Poelstra. Cessna 152 engine, Dynafocal mounts. Ready to Ship! SN: L-18454-15, 118 HP @ 2800 RPM

Hi Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...

Wooduuuward wrote in message I read that the R44 sales have 'taken off'. From frequently browsing the FAA crash reports, the R22 is listed almost every other week there. The R44 is larger, faster and flys higher. Is it safer? i.e.: in the last month: there are four incidents listed for...

Toks Desalu wrote in message Can you believe this? I studied regulation back in college and don't remember any specific regulation that said the hand must be at control at all time. Anybody can point it out? Why they really want to make us look bad? The airplane was a DHC-6 Twin Otter...

Well... It's that time of the year again. It's time for my annual proficiency check. Last year I almost crashed. This year was no different. My helper pilot and I ran through the routines while a check-airman sat in the jumpseat observing us. We cured hot starts and hung starts. We didn't forget...

Anyone here flown one? I'm sure there is no shortage of opinions... I'm thinking of a 2 place LSA at the low end of the price range and this seems to fit. I'd prefer a scaled down "conventional" airplane (with the tailwheel on the right end) over a scaled up ultralight style... -- Geoff The...

I didn't post to the wrong group. Playboy Magazine's Miss May 2004 should be looked at seriously. She wants to be a corporate Learjet pilot. Anyone care to help her build some stick time? D. (P.S.- She can hold altitude and heading very well in the KingAir)

I understand that the little yellow race plane on the wall at EAA's museum was a homebuilt with plans offered. Anyone know if plans can still be obtained? How come the design wasn't copied by other racers? D.

One of the fellows I fly with is building an RV-3 with an O-320-H2AD Lycoming. He has searched the Web for an answer but didn't know about Usenet till now. His question concerns the mechanical fuel pump. It is located on the front of that series of engine. Has anyone runs fuel lines under the...

I tried to post some bitmap images with this but it didn't come up on my server. Anyways.. Concerning the Chalks seaplane crash in Miami, fatigue features were observed in the lower spar cap of the rear spar of the inboard end of the right wing, bisecting 2 offset drilled holes. D.

And so we must part again. Economic obsolescence brings despair once again. The joy, the inner peace, the relaxing comfort that comes with a familiar trusted colleague slips away once more. The anxiety of starting over with a new partner is facing me, again. The future is daunting. My first...

It was a beautiful day in land that Mickey built- 76 degrees with full sun while the northern folks got their first freezing blast of winter. We headed off-shore over the islands of the Caribbean. I was on the second radio talking to old friends and catching up on news from all the islands that...

It was a clear calm morning. The sun was just coming up over the ocean. The temperature was around 70F. I had an easy commute in to work. The employee parking shuttle bus driver waited for me to walk over and board instead of making me wait 15 minutes for the next one. I had only one Jeppeson...

Some years ago, an A&P designated examiner was convicted of fraud for issuing mechanic's certificates without giving much of a test. He was located in Sanford, Florida. Nearly 3000 certified letters were mailed out last week to everyone who used this examiner from October 1995 to Aug 1998. The...

I have 3 cracked cylinders, 0-235 C1B, need 3 GOOD cores! Chrome, std size. Round and straight. Are welded repairs reliable? Thanks Southern Ontario, Canada.

I just read in the newspaper that John Walton, the billionaire son of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, was killed in a homebuilt airplane? That got me thinking to look for a NG that might be dedicated to this activity, and I found this one. This is all new to me, quite honestly, and disturbing. ...

I am looking for a small amount (6"x6") of .093" (3/32") thickness L grade phenolic sheet. I can find 1/16" easily through ASS, McMaster Carr, Aviall, etc. but not the desired thickness. Does anyone know of a source for this? Thanks, - Carl -

I am looking for information on building a home made antenna. Months ago I found myself quite accidentally at an ultralight club meeting in San Diego. After the meeting they were having an antenna workshop to build some antennas for their ultralights. The antennas were made out of coax cable and...

Cooper, I got some hokie email from you about 6 months ago saying you were going to buy a plane (at least i think thats wht it said - it was pretty cryptic. i tried the reply to: and it bounced. I need to get in touch with you, I need your EMT skills, I need your supposed plane, and I need...
