I have been reading up on seaplanes (Seaplane Operations, by Cesare Baj and Dale DeRemer) and one frequently repeated fact is that it is very hard to get a seaplane up on the step on glassy water, because the lack of bubbles under the float/hull causes the heel of the float/hull to adhere to the...

Hi there. Seems to be alot of discussion on the halon dry chem, used in fire extinguishers. My unfortunate luck would put me in fornt of an emergency self pull trigger. It actually is used in the engine compartment where if you have a fire break out, it is able to self extinguish the area...

A couple of folks have built their Himaxes and Minimaxes as trikes. On the surface, it doesn't seem like an overwhelmingly difficult engineering problem to overcome. How deluded might I be?

Anyone have the scoop on this guy? He has started a sportplane group he calls SPPA. Wants $40 per year. Does a lot of "trolling"

I've got a question about the size of yokes on pneumatic rivet squeezers. If you have adequate room to work, is there any disadvantage of using a larger than necessary yoke? Say, I'm riveting a piece 1" wide material to another with a 5/16" overlap, obviously a 2" deep yoke will work, but why...

I 've searched the RV web and...

Dear Paul, I wish to hell I knew how to put the damn thing on! On the advice of my sister, who was Hi Bob: When the PT gal at the VA gave me the machine she gave me some handouts.

I have an engine going into a homebuilt that uses the bendix D-2000 series dual magneto. I have ordered a crank triggered ignition system to fire one set of plugs and would like to replace the dual magneto with a single magneto to fire the other set of plugs. The Starting functions will...

Yeah, and it's just a little U-Shaped piece of steel plate about .020 thick and hardly bigger than a dime. Tres incroyable. Well, maybe I couldn't make it for that, and besides, it's got to be an official Cessna part, or pma'd. The other one broke, and when I told the owner/a&p it had to be...

Ok, I am confused. Take Lancair website for example.Propjet kit, price 115k. Ok. Click on engines and props.Engine 120k, prop 18k. Ok.Parts and Options.Huh? what parts do I need and which ones are options?I would say that cabin heat at 20,000 ft is a necessity, not an option.Somewhat...

Does anyone know how to obtain the series of shows A Plane is Born? I didn't see it for sale at Discovery.com. Thanks. Hope to see you in Oshkosh!

Have a key starter and gear from a C-150 TCM O-200 I don't need. Removed from my hand prop experimnetal A/C. About 900 hours TT, excellent condition. Works great as is, or use it as a core if you need a cert. Thx

seems like people just keep coming back for more... http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/09/its-a-car-that.html I think I'd rather invest in the current market than go down that rabbit hole.

Hi Guys. Does that title tickle any memory-bones? Well, let's see if I can tickle them again. First-off come the ground rules: The data came from "Handbook of Instruction for Airplane Designers, Structures Tests" Air Corps, U.S.Army (Not available to the public) ....and apparently not...
