Propellers by
[email protected]
I want to run my engine (ford v-6) this summer for various tests and I
want some sort of prop. What do most people use for props when testing
at this stage? I was thinking of glueing together 2 or 3 fir 2x6's or
using a laminate beam (leftovers from a remodeling project) and carving
some airfoil...

AMT question: Approved Data by
Mark
Hello.
I am studying for my O&Ps and I have a question about "approved data" and
"acceptable data."
I understand that the manufacturer's maintenance manual is only considered
"acceptable data," and is therefore not approved for use in making major
repairs or major alterations.
So let's suppose I...

Worth an encore by
Smitty Two
For those who haven't seen it, and those who have, an enjoyable
aerobatic mini-movie. Good movie directors know that "coverage" is the
key -- get as many cameras, from as many vantage points, as you can on
every scene. That allows for creative and intelligent editing, which
makes for enjoyable...

Homebuilt plans found by
[email protected]
Group,
While cleaning out my construction area I found an old, unused Builders
Manual and plans for a Sky Baby, Model 1A and Graham Lee's Nieuport 17.
Would you know of anyone that might like to have either of these for
about $40 each + a couple of $$s for shipping?

Quickie / Rutan plans with polyurethane foam by
[email protected]
A lot of Rutan planes and derivatives call for polyurethane (in the
fuselage). My understanding is that starting around 1990, builders
have used urethane instead of polyurethane (in Long EZs, etc.). Has
this scenario taken place with Quickie Q1 s... ? Since most Q1s were
built before 1995, would...

ADK
Would like to purchase an abandoned Orion kit. Can be partially completed.
Drive system not necessary but all composites, mechanisms, doors etc,. In
other words the more the better. Europe location is not a problem.

strength calculations for a step by

I can't figure this one out.
I want to add a retractable step that will stick out of the fuselage at
a 40 degree from vertical angle. It sticks out 10" and is made of 3/4"
square, .065 thick, 4130 tube. Assuming no weakness in the support,
will this support a 300lb man (me with all my luggage on...

Radio crystals by
pittss1c
I inherited an RST 6 channel radio, and was thinking about tinkering
with it. The problem is that it only has 2 frequencies in it, and they
aren't ones I want.
Does anyone here know of a source for aviation band transmit and receive
crystals that I can use?

More LED's - Again by
[email protected]
To All:
The steady decline in the cost of ultra-bright green LED's (now about
two-bits each for a 100-piece baggie) has generated renewed interest in
the bug-eyed LED nav lights I described on this Newsgroup a couple of
years ago.
Unfortunately, that renewed interest has lead to some renewed...

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

LED and PCBs by

I've used ExpressPCB where you layout your printed circuit on on your
