Fixing the Transponder with Duct Tape and Aluminum Foil by Ron Wanttaja
I'd installed my new Microair transponder a month ago, but have been having troubles with interference. The transponder was inducing bad clicking sounds into the comm radio receiver, making the radio difficult to understand. I couldn't really blame the Microair, since the Terra transponder I'd...

Fiberglass release agent? by [email protected]
i planning on building a few fiberglass pieces from a mold this weekend but don't have time to order a release agent. From looking at the internet, most release agents are wax based products. Can I just use paste wax for the mold? Any other suggestions? Thanks Dave

"bush flying" in the suburbs? by [email protected]
Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801 lately, which attracted my attention purely as an inexpensive and eaily built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing about all the...

Get Rid Of Warbirds At Oshkosh by RST Engineering
I'm prejudiced. Of course I'm prejudiced. In 5000+ flight hours, I've never come as close to a midair as I did at Oshkosh 1999. Oshkosh Tower: "BlueOnBlue Cessna, number three for runway 27. Ercoupe put it on the numbers. Flight of three T6s, cross over runway 27, right downwind for runway...

Goldwing Ultralight by Dale Alexander
What can you folks tell me about the Goldwing Ultralight made in 1981 at Jackson California? Some friends received a 75% complete kit from the widow of a deceased builder and have asked me to try and figure out what to do with it. It looks as if the wings need to be built but most of...

basic spar construction by Dave Schneider
Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where they show the process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm confused on how a spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the foam itself would provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem like you'd...

RANS S-9 Chaos loses a wing by Jim Logajan
Video of wing failure via AVweb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8cntPdRtk RANS S-9 loses a wing in an airshow doing aerobatics; pilot survives because plane is equipped with BRS and promptly deployed. Natural to wonder whether some earlier stunt actually partially cracked the spar.

Single-Seat Accident Records (Was BD-5B) by Ron Wanttaja
With the current discussion in another thread regarding the accident record of the BD-5, I thought it might be interesting to do a little more in-depth look. I decided to examine the accidents between 1 January 1990 and 13 November 2003 and do a breakdown as to relative accident/fatality...

LOM Mikron Engines by [email protected]
Hi, I am thinking about building a Pietenpol Air Camper and need an engine for it. The LOM Mikron seemed to be a good choice, I heard it costs around 6K US. I called Moravia, the LOM distributor in Canada and they literally said 9.9K euro which is 12K US. I can probably buy a new 912UL for...

Why are low-revving, high torque engines preferred? by Oliver Arend
This may sound like a stupid question; I realize the prop can only turn at a certain speed to avoid transonic effects at the tips and has to be turned with a certain torque to transmit the power needed/ produce enough thrust. So far so good. But why does the torque have to be produced by the...

High Altitude operations (Turbo charge???) by Andre
I operate off an airfield with a ground elevation of 5327 feet ASL. Obviously my engine (VW 1835cc with Zenith Carb) feels the altitude somewhat. I am thinking.... Would Turbo charging help? What about an electric blower to increase manifold pressure maybe? Or how about a NOS system?
