Space slingshot was: Space Elevator by
Keith Goodwin
Hi everyone.
This is an extremely interesting thread, and I have been reading avidly.

cable to get airborne, whether behind another aircraft (the...

Weight and Balance by
Dale Larsen
The local FSDO has this form they want submitted before scheduling an
inspection. It asks for (1) "Net empty C.G. range" and (2) "Loaded C.G.
limits".
Now I know that my C.G. has to fall within 15-28% of chord, and I can easily
figure that out. It works out to 77.95 to 84.84 inches aft of datum....

Sport Pilot inconsistency by
frustrated flier
I am unclear on two Sport Pilot issues: First, a new pilot may qualify
for a Sport Pilot ticket even though he or she takes a medication that
would preclude a 3rd class medical. However, an experienced pilot with
a higher ticket may not operate as a Sport Pilot if he lost a medical
last year for...

Non certified engines. by

Okay, I don't know diddly; I've just caught the airplane bug. So, I'm
asking...
My buddy went out and spent multi tens of thousands of dollars on an
airplane engine. Lycoming, I think it was. Seems kinda pricy, but I
understand that most of that cost is testing, no iron.
I note that there was a...

Time to change the air in your tires by
Rich S.
(Shamelessly stolen & edited from the garden & lawn tractor forum)
Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of removing
the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the

to change my...

you have no idea! Try googling 'heading hold gyro'.
It turns out, that radio control modelers stick a heading hold gyro on
their model helicopter and...

AMT question: Approved Data by
Mark
Hello.
I am studying for my O&Ps and I have a question about "approved data" and
"acceptable data."
I understand that the manufacturer's maintenance manual is only considered
"acceptable data," and is therefore not approved for use in making major
repairs or major alterations.
So let's suppose I...

I am doing wet layup in a covoluted mold using "porous teflon coated glass
