Have a cessna 150 with 150 HP conversion. I burn regular mogas for the most part. My bird can tanker up to 60 gallons so I have very long range capability. The plane runs fine on the mogas not to mention the SAVINGS! Avgas here is running as much as 5 bucks a gallon! car gas runs about...

I lurk here off and on, but I found something the other day that I thought you builders might get a chuckle from. Many of you are probably familiar with Lindsay Press. They dredge up old how-to books from the early days and reprint them. I was at a local technical bookstore today, and found a...

http://tinyurl.com/24og9o Read about the bewildering details of a number of long-suffering non-resident pilots who have been caught in the FL tax trap, (otherwise known as the "Florida Landing Fee"). It starts like this... you buy a new or used aircraft and sign the bill of sale... which starts...

This got me thinking, a rudderless Ercoupe in a multi-directional wind landing...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2NJFrvYls Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861

Does any one have a manual showing the pin outs for the turn and bank? I need to wire it into my panel. Thanks

Can someone point me on how to build a fiberglass fuel tank and use aluminum fittings? Thanks Bill

Does anyone know if HAPI made an accessory case with the starter in the top position?

Is anyone aware of statistical or other data that would indicate what percentage of engines make it well beyond the factory specified TBO, and how much longer they can be flown safely? I worry about sudden engine failure due to metal fatigue. Many of the small Lyc. engines have a TBO of around...

I know it was a car, but it looked like a jet trainer body, riding on three wheels. It was around in 1981 or so. Had a Subaru twin cylinder engine rated at 100 mpg.

I heard on the radio that a small plane from Chicago went missing in the fog during a landing attempt at the Toronto City Centre Airport. This morning I see in the newspaper that the plane and the pilot have been located at the bottom of Lake Ontario. The plane was a Beechcraft that could seat six...

You might want to also check out gyroplanes. NZ has a new one that is top of the line. There's a few good websites about them: http://www.aero-sport.com/ http://www.gyroplane.ca http://classics.nu/pitbull/pitbull.html John Burns wrote: Hi there

Hi guys , does anybody know which is the best place , if any , to get large 3 by 12 foot 4130 annealed sheets in 0.100 , 0.063 , 0.032 ? I need about 600 pound . Steve Australia ( thats why I need so much , we got nothing here exept crocodiles.)

Anyone know what this type of engine weighs? I know that hog-air claims 200 lbs, but that's with a starter, PSRU (PRSU?), exhaust, etc. I'm wondering what the engine itself weighs with its standard starter, and nothing else. Any bikers in here have a spare engine and a scale? My much-discussed...

Does anyone here know if / what-section-of FAR rules govern the operation of "ground effect" vehicles? Specifically, how high can a machine fly AGL before its technically classified as an aircraft and not a hovercraft, hydroplane-boat, Ecronoplan, etc.? Is there a loophole for a powered...

This will be an odd request since solid-strand spring steel wire hasn't been used in a/c for nearly 80 years. Here goes: I'm using 15ga. solid-strand spring steel wire in my Wright 1902 glider. It was shipped with an oil-coating that held up for a few months. Problem is that the oil did not...

Last Saturday an FM2 (?) Wildcat was lost on final approach to Ellington Field in Houston following the airshow. One fatality. I did not see the crash, but watched his departure from the ramp. If anyone has any more info. on this accident, please e-mail me. Thank you, Harry Frey Wright Brothers...

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...

Have you tried contacting one of the commercial companies like Petroleum Helicopters or Air Logistics? Both of them are located in (or near) Lafayette, LA. If the blades from a Bell 206 would be of use to you, they might be able to help. Otherwise, you might also try Barnstormers.com...
