Stealth Pilot[_2_]
guys
if you stall your aircraft with power on what does it do?
are there any situations where a T18 will do other than a descending
dive after a stall?
also what aerofoil was used on your aircraft?

day. there is a lot of utter...

A Rec.Aviation FRS Channel @ Oshkosh this year? by
Bob Chilcoat
IIRC, last year someone (Jim Weir?) designated a Rec.Aviation FRS channel so
that everyone could find each other more easily. My brothers and I plan on
being there this year. Did it work out and was it any help last year? Are
there plans for repeating such a thing this year. If so, what...

a scroll saw - what should I look for? by
Ken Mattsson
In this time of gift buying frenzy, having done the compulsory bit of
getting everybody else their presents, I´ve started the annual drooling over
machinery as usual. The object of my wet dreams lately has been a scroll
saw. Now, the only problem (apart from the usual "bite the bullet" bit,...

A shot in the Dark. by
gorgon
I am running a small experiment in futility. Let' just see where it
goes.
About 18 or 20 years ago, I helped put a Cessna 140 back together in
wyoming. I loaned the owner my David Clark H10-30 while he was flying
it. He sold the plane and the headset went with the plane. The new
owner was...

A Simple Auto Engine Conversion by
[email protected]
I was thumbing through a catalog from Speedway Motors. They advertise
a magneto-type distributor. Assuming you didn't come across a
thrashed race engine with magnetos, couldn't someone put together an
engine worthy of aircraft use, by simply 1) ordering an aftermarket
engine with fuel injection,...

A simpler plane to build... by
WJ
I lurk here off and on, but I found something the other day that I thought
you builders might get a chuckle from.
Many of you are probably familiar with Lindsay Press. They dredge up old
how-to books from the early days and reprint them. I was at a local
technical bookstore today, and found a...

A Source for Aluminum by
Ron Wanttaja
I don't recall seeing this mentioned on RAH before, but I just had a very
nice experience buying some aluminum angle.
I'm in the process of switching my plane to an Odyssey drycell battery
(thanks, Jerry!) and have to build a new battery box. I needed some
aluminum angle for the interface to the...

A Tiny Slice of History by

I don't remember ever meeting my Great Uncle Al. I may have, but I don't

and this letter is in the collection. Al was born in 1899 and this was
written late in his life. I thought that some here might find...

A&P by
W P Dixon
Ok Guys and Gals,
I have finally decided to check into what I have put off for about 20
years! Can any of you kind people refer me to a cheap A&P course. I have
seen a couple in the 1000 buck range, I just can not justify that expense as
I won't be using it for employment. I would prefer something...
