Heading Hold Gyro. by
brian whatcott
I expect, like me, you thought you knew what heading hold gyros were all
about? If you haven't been around model helicopter enthusiasts lately,
you have no idea! Try googling 'heading hold gyro'.
It turns out, that radio control modelers stick a heading hold gyro on
their model helicopter and...

A couple interesting items, but not that many planes. I guess the
weather "threat" kept some away. My highlights were the Porter and
the Light Sport.

Welding on your head by
Michael Horowitz
I've gotten pretty good with my OA welds; I spent the last three
months practicing a splice by inner sleeve and am pleased that after
much practice I can melt the three components together and get good
penetration. On the bench.
However, when I tried welding on the fuselage, it's an...

Quality of kitplane designs? by
Oliver Arend
After reading
http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/Zodiac.pdf
I'm wondering how much trouble is hidden in other kitplane designs?
Obviously, the RV fleet seems to be rather untroubled, but the others?
How much design work is really going into kit planes? Or is...

Bidding on a Lathe by
brian whatcott
A lathe is one of those things a homebuilder might want, but like me,
be reluctant to pay for, new.
So when I spotted a Southbend listed on a Texas School District Surplus
Auction on friday, I asked the auctioneer to bid on my behalf to $222
sight unseen. At 150 miles distance, it was too far to...

Jabiru 80 HP Experience, Anyone? by
Orval Fairbairn[_2_]
A group of us are building a Pulsar and expect to license it in exp-LSA
and are seriously considering the 80 horse Jabiru as a powerplant. The
engine, and FWF kit are less than the Rotax, without having a gearbox to
complicate things.
Who out there has experience with this...

following link:

Just curious: can the private pilot exam be taken in a canard? by
es330td
I was reading the FAQ for experimental aircraft today and noticed that
one question dealt with training and testing in experimental
aircraft. One portion of the test deals with stalls and since canard
don't stall like normal aircraft, when I read this I wondered if the
test could even be...

Older Jab - thoughts by
Paul Folbrecht
How would you react to a Jabiru 2200 with these characteristics:
- Build in 95 (sn #60)
- 125h TT
- NEW cylinders & pistons in 2004 (larger fins)
- NEW conrods in 2008, including replacement of all seals & gaskets in
the low end
Such an engine is past the time-based TBO. Is it equivalent...

been charged with 'stealing by deceit' and other charges are...
