Landing Light bulbs by Jerry Wass
Why does the diameter of the reflector have so much effect on the output-(candlepower)--of bulbs having the same power input?? i.e. #4509-PAR-36 4.45"Ø 110,000cp #4537-PAR-46 5.70"Ø 200,000cp And then we have the newer import cars using 2.5" reflectors (+ a condensing lens of similar...

twin-engine kits available by [email protected]

Wood Laminations and Springback by Kyle Boatright
I'm working on the center section for a Hatz. The trailing edge of the center section is a recurved lamination that provides better access to the front cockpit. I've steamed and clamped the strips into a form, and they have taken on some of the curve, but when I unclamp 'em after they dry, I get...

Moller take note... by Bob Kuykendall
A non-functioning "flying car" with no engine, essentially a mockup, is currently at $45,000 on eBay. Item number 220188946461. I'll be interesting to see how this auction shakes out. At that rate, there seems to be more money in movie props than in real aircraft. Bob K.
