Ok, so it's not an airplane but it is related. I'm going to Oshgosh and will be camping. Anyone have an idea on how to make my 70db generator quieter besides not running it? Lou

Happy New Year all! I am continuing to build my library of plans for airplanes that are rare or didn't make it for one reason or another. After 7 years of looking, I landed a set of plans for the Mead Adventure the other day. I am feeling lucky so I thought I would post a message and see what...

I'm trying to solve a problem with a Valcom 760 that appears to be related to voltage regulation. The symptoms are that the radio seems to power up normally, then the display digits fade away after several seconds. It will neither transmit nor receive in this state. The outputs of several internal...

Hello there fellow aviation enthusiasts, Does anyone know where I can obtain original, or copies of original factory blueprints for WWII Warbirds such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Chance-Vought F4U Corsair, North-American P51 Mustang, etc?

Here's an interesting new diesel engine with much lower operating costs. Looks like it would fill the bill for a Glass Goose (which I'm considering) very nicely. Waddya think? http://www.deltahawkengines.com/object00.htm -- How Dubya stole the election: http://www.ericblumrich.com/gta.html

Not that I plan to do this but I was wondering, if one was going to plan to install a diesel in a homebuilt, what diesel would one put in? Lou

I googled, but there's not much infor. about converting the turbine in the microturbine generator for aircraft use. So I am tossing my idea here. The Capstone's microturbine generator looks very neat. The generator has 60kw output, and the turbine itself should have higher output, enough for a...

Well I just came across another piece of advertising masquerading as an article in Private Pilot magazine. The author goes up on a short hop in a Sting Sport, another plastic topy ariplane from the Czech Republic and he's raving about it like it's the biggest thing since sliced bread. He even...

I have some Gerdes master cylinders that were given to me years ago which I am just now planning on using. Don't know much about them, but was wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to have them be rebuilt ( overhauled ) before I use them, since they've been on the shelf for so long. Is it actually...

Hi All I fly a Pazmany Pl-2 (see link below for pictures) that had a power upgrade from an 125 h.p. O-290 to a 160 h.p. O-320. I fly behind a McCauley Metal prop. After the engine change, I had the prop repitched from a 7063 to a 7067. Top speed increased and my initial climb rate is about 1400...

Bought a digital video camera a week ago; fabricated a mount and installed it on the Fly Baby's axle tube this weekend. Here's a quick snippet from a 30-minute flight I took yesterday. http://www.bowersflybaby.com/slip.mpg Unfortunately, the video compression loses a lot of data to get the...

Yeah, I know I'm going to get flamed I have read a lot recently about people burning everything from bio-diesel and straight french fry grease to used ATF in ground based diesel engines but what about flying turbines? I am quite sure that they would burn either at ground level but will these...

My CFII buddy recently bought a Culver Cadet and while it it is in great flying condition, the landing gear is non functional. I'm trying to locate either shematics (if they exist) or at least some other Culver owner who has operating manual retractable gear that I might get some digital...
