To All: The Gascolator dates from the days of the Model T Ford. Back in those days the fuel tank was located in the cowl, just forward of the windscreen -- which was plate glass. The filler was located on the cowl. The float-type quantity gauge was located in the instrument cluster. The system...

Hate to disagree. but there are more BYU's in a GALLON of Avgas than in a GALLON of Mogas. Why?? Avgas weighs more per Gallon... Most fuel type hydrocarbons have nearly the same BTU's per Lb.

Twenty year old throttle control with friction lock is slipping. Is there a way to replace the nylon (material?) gripper that the screw flange presses against that in turn presses against the throttle shaft? I could just replace the whole thing but that would be a BIG job. Any and all suggestions...

I'm helping an aero engineer friend research details of successful homebuilt aircraft undercarriages. (for some calcs for a book) I borrowed my mate's T18 Plans, from which he built a honey of a T18. my mate used a prebuilt and tempered Brock undercarriage so didnt need or buy the undercarriage...

I seem to recall a relatively simple smoke system that used a propane torch bottle to hold the smoke oil and I believe it was pressurized with air to eliminate the need for a pump. I realize it would only be good for short bursts, but that is exactly the application I need. Any reference to...

Is there a store or other source that still has old copies of the Kitplanes magazine CD-ROM that has a database / search facility for kit aircraft? The magazine no longer sells the information in a CD format, so I am looking for suggestions. David

Hey Guys- Has anyone ever attempted to install a Hilsch Tube (Vortex Tube) in an aircraft for environmental controls? The setup I see would be very light, a 3 foot long PVC vortex tube (no more than 5 lbs) with a small exhaust turbocharger force-feeding it. Yes the Hilsch tube is not a...

G'day, Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a Yahoo group called "GY-20_Minicab-builders". This group seems to have vanished from the face of the internet - does anyone know what happened? The last time I accessed it was the 31st of January so it's only been deleted in the last...

I have a Zenith CH-300 with a Lyc 0-320. It has an engine mounted fuel pump, and an electric aux pump. I also have a fuel pressure gauge, and a low fuel pressure warning light. Today, for the first time, when I did my pre-flight run-up, the low fuel pressure light came on. When I looked at the fuel...

So for 35 years now we've been putting out our kits with two printed manuals per kit ... a "operations and maintenance" and a "construction and assembly" manual. Each of which costs us about $2 a manual. Not a big deal. I've got a wild hair that we can put out a digital CDROM set of manuals...

I'm getting closer to the point where I will be working on the panel of my 601XL and I need to ask you a question. I have little to know electronics experience. Of course I'd never had any metal working experience and I think I'm doing a pretty good job on my plane. So the question is how much...

Nosegear failed during taxi and had a wooden prop strike on pavement. prop is toast but wondering about the old C-85. consensus is leaning towards everything okay if no vibration and tracks true upon startup of new, balanced prop. comments appreciated, Dick
