That's a valid point and room temp beer in the UK often is fresh from the cellar where temps are certainly lower. I didn't think a still Lucas joke would stir things up so much, I expected the Canadian hockey joke would have gotten more attention. ;o) tONY "Veeduber" wrote in...

I am putting two 12V batteries together http://www.batterymart.com/p-hawker-sbs-J16-aircraft-battery.html to make a 24V battery. What size cable should I use to make the serial connection? http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine%20Grade%20Wire/Marine%20Battery%20Cable/ Thanks, Karl

Does anyone have a link for the site that listed the weights of certified and experimental engines? I can't seem to find it again.

A guy here who doesn't speak English asked me to investigate which aircraft he should choose to build from plans. What he wiches: - single or 2-seat - limited aerobatics - engine M14P or Valter M332/337 I can also assume that he isn't the big-buck one. I know that this question was discussed here...

Aero Gnus disinformation Network Twentieth Annual Captain Zoom April First Parody Press Release. You've heard of the Polish Virus; "please erase your own hard drive." Well, Captain Zoom has outdone any parody that I, or anyone else, could ever write. See for yourself: http://evilurl.com/anallips

Looking for N-3 Pup POH. Will pay for dup and postage.

Anyone know how the pins on a TDR-950 transponder connector are numbered? As you are looking at the connector from the back of the unit, left to right? Right to left? Thanks.

I want to get airborne with as little building involvement as possible. The cheapest way. And with little maintenance as possible. What are the possibilities? I mean building a gerobee could take years and lots of money and this rotax motors are 'spensive. Building a wooden woodhopper could be...

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to contact Dyke Aircraft to purchase a set of plans for the Dyke Delta. I thought I had found the right email address but there has been no response from them. Does anyone know if they have stopped selling the plans? The Delta Builders Network is no longer up...

Up for auction on ebay now is an HP-18 project. It has flown 1500 hours but needs a complete rebuild. It NEEDS either wing contouring or use it as a "quickbuild" kit for a Super-18 with the fuselage, tail, wing spars and controls already built. Comes with a very good Gehrlein open heavy duty...

Looks like the Glass Goose website has been re-vamped. I know Tom Scott was putting in a Jabiru Engine in the Goose. I wonder what the progress on that is. I also have started a Yahoo group for discussion about the GlassGoose and it's potental at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GlassGoose/ Please...

Hi all... The discussion about aluminum vs composites and running across some stuff on the hummel bird got me thinking... What are the REALLY small homebuilts out there? The hummel bird and tennie two - aluminum construction.... The Cri Cri - mostly aluminum?

I've been reading through the BD-5 thread and have a question. I guess this is an opinion thread but what happens to a rear engine mounted directly behind the pilot in a crash? In something like an ultralight, BD-5, Cutiss pusher or Vari-EZ does an engine have a tendency to rip loose and go...

It would appear that the wonderful Hughes Racer Replica has been lost in a crash in Yellowstone Park. My prayers go out to everyone involved with this project. Jim Wright was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Wayne Sagar All Aviation FlightLine OnLine http://www.aafo.com/

There can be no better source of advice than this group for my question: am I too old to take up flying--and building an airplane? Full disclosure. As a young man in the Korean War I was an aviation machinist's mate in the Navy. As a forestry student in the late '50's I was a smokejumper, so I...

Are there any Cessna Skymaster-type kit aircraft or plans for an aircraft of similar type? Or any other push-pull aircraft for homebuilders?

Everything was trimmed!! (-; Counterpoint to the Lightspeed QA 'issue': I have a 20XL and a 30XL. Both have performed flawlessly from the day I got them. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that never happens! To be fair, I don't listen to music in the air so I am unqualified to comment on the audio...
