For the Canadian builders or future builders in southern Ontario, the Europa factory folks will be attending the Aviation Expo (Canada's largest aviation show) this weekend on June 18th at the Oshawa Airport, with a tri-gear demo ship. With luck a local builder will also fly in with his fine...

Could anyone tell me the diameter and lengths of the titanium gear legs for the F-1 Rocket ( or Harmon Rocket ) and the Sonex ? Also, do you know of any suppliers/costs? Thanks Neal

This question showed up in another post, so I'll ask it as a dedicated question. About the landing gear legs on the F1 Rocket ( or Harmon Rocket ) and the Sonex. Does anyone know the diameter and lengths of the titanium landing gear of these airplanes? How about a source of the titanium/costs? ...

The last few days of maintenance paid off today. The engine ran *much* smoother in flight (prop balancing). There's still a fairly pronounced vibration at certain RPMs, but they're easy to avoid and have been reported by other RV-drivers with similar prop/engine combinations. Engine temps are...

Good evening friends. Recently got a plane with a Limbach L2000 engine. Is this engine a Type 1 or 4 VW? It has a single magneto and I want to add an electronic ignition. I contacted Steve from Great Plains about machining a second set of spark plug holes in the cylinder heads. He asked me if...

Anybody have any experience with these props? I just bought one today. After reading their website they look good, but what do you guys know, if anything? BWb

Is a statement such as the following acceptable for weight and balance calculations for flying? "As long as the maximum baggage weight of XX lbs and gross weight of xxxx lbs is not exceeded, the aircraft will be in balance"

I realize that I should have posted this yesterday, but there is still 6 hours left to get an email postmark in time. Today is the last day to pay for the UW-O dorm rooms in full for those of us with reservations. Midnight Central time. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet...

I'm considering buying one, wondering what I should plan for an engine overhaul hourly reserve. TTE unknown, no logs, the plane is still flying off its phase 1 hours, about 10 STOH (unknown quality). I'm told by the builder/seller that it's an L2C model, but a fellow looked at the pictures and...

Hello, ACS sold an afordable set for retrofit old headsets with ANR electronics. Does some one use this? Is it simple to fit in a David Clack H10-30? Same question for Pilot Avionics 10-40? Thanks --

My EAA chapter is looking for a set of aircraft scales. We can't break the bank, but we're not lookin' for junk either. Anyone want to suggest a source for appropriate scales and a brand/model (or models) that offers good accuracy at a reasonable price? Thanks, KB

Hi, I am wondering if V0-435 cylinders can be used as replacements for the original 0-290 jugs. This is for non-certified use. I have also heard of an O-320 cylinder modification. If anyone could give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

does anyone know what is the status of the zoche radial diesel? are any flying yet? Don't believe it has ever flown, and I doubt that it will anytime soon. Sure would love to have one on the front of my airplane, though. Ed "still got my Zoche t-shirt" Wischmeyer

Do you have to replace the entire harness or can you replace the wire? I've replaced the plugs on the left rear cylinder and checked to make sure no induction leak. The egt on no. 2 cylinder is running 200 degrees low. The other 5 cylinders are fine. Mag check shows the problem clears up on the...

Greetings, Has anyone seen or developed a characterization of this tach sensor? It is a combined magnet/coil combo used to generate a pulse when a bit of iron speeds past(Ampere's law). In my case, I have 6 steel AN5 bolt heads/revolution roughly 3/32" from the sensor head at roughly...

I have no ties to any of this Dennis Fetters guy or the Mini 500 debacle. I ran across these postings about Dennis a few months back and started reading all I could on the groups and the web about Fetters and this helicopter. All I can say is unbelievable.... I have read things tossed back and...

I just purchased a set of Cygnet plans. Does anyone know of anyone building a Cygnet in the southwestern US? I'd sure like to see one before I get started. Also, does anyone know how to get ahold of the designer Bert Sisler? I understand that he was planning to put a Jabiru engine in the...
