You're invited to not one, but TWO Oshkosh parties! That's right, TWO Oshkosh blow-outs, organized by pilots, for pilots and their guests. Check 'em out: 1. ** Saturday, July 21st -- 5th Annual Iowa City Fly-In Pool Party ** Each year, on the Saturday before OSH, we host a fly-in pool party...

Cut that one a little close, we did we did. The Oshkosh Bound artwork for printing your own "Oshkosh Bound 2007" posters is up at www.rstengineering.com and then a link from the bottom of that page. Also posted is the updated graphic showing the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh transition. Please don't use...

I've been looking into building a in-the-ear type headset using low-end earphones, following the example given at http://www.canardzone.com/members/nickugolini/CuplessHeadet/cupless_headset.htm I bought the Phillips ANR headphones from Target. I've got Jim Weir's impedance matching circuit...

What caused the accident at OSH? I heard the front plane, which had a slower stall, touched down first instead of second.

A close relative is building an RV7 and is ready to attach the wings for the first time. The alignment of the holes in the center spar section front and back is off enough that a hardware store bolt will not pass through both sides. I estimate the alignment is off by 1/32 to 3/64 inch perhaps...

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the combination of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator to make a stabilator. I think I have even heard of the concept being used for a ruder. My question is has anyone ever made a plane taking the concept all the way and made a "wingeron"? My guess...

Has anyone in the group had experience{good or bad} using a Warp Drive prop on an A-65? I like the idea of being able to change the pitch if needed. Glenn

Anyone have a broken Comm 120 kicking around with a good gear train. I have a broken plastic gear in my Comm 2 and am trying to avoid sending it in to Narco. Cheers: Paul N1431A KPLU

Will be in row 547 of the N40 parking area on the north side of Rwy 9/27. Jay and a small gaggle arrived together and are also parked in row 547. Jim

In August of '05, Veeduber posted an artical on using a drill press as a lathe. He describes how to chuck a piece of tubing to turn down it's diameter. In that case, the center line of the work ran thru the centerline of the drillpress chuck. Has anyone seen a scheme for chucking a piece that does...

The auto parts store 12v outlet I installed in the RV last year is defective. It makes a connection with some of my 12v accessory cables, but has intermittent or no contact with others (e.g. my Lowrance Airmap). So, anyone got a source/part number recommendation for a 12v outlet that works...

I happened to stumble across a website which featured a pretty good video of Oshkosh - without tooting Tom's horn. http://www.brightcove.com/title.jsp?title=1125843880&channel=627008079 Rich (I get a bit nauseous reading about Poberezny's impending elevation to divinity) S.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/26/spaceport.blast/index.html LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- An explosion at an airport home to Scaled Composites -- the builder of the first private manned rocket to reach space -- killed two people and left four seriously hurt Thursday, a Kern County Fire...

Don't miss the Gig harbor Cruiser's car, boat, & plane show this Saturday at the Tacoma Narrows airport (KTIW). Admission and parking is *free* for spectators whether you drive or fly in. If you fly in, you can park near the show participants. Everyone would love to see a few planes on display -...

So what is the big deal that King avionics has been advertising would be announced at OSH? Likewise, what is the Rotorway announcement? Matt

Anyone out there have any knowledge, experience or opinions pertaining to the Bradley Aerobat?? I'd sure be interested in hearing some. Thanks!! Ted

Australia's oldest homebuilt aircraft was built in 1928 and flown until 1933. It was subsequently stored in the museum in the town of York in Western Australia for 60 years. Recently ownership passed by inheritance to the grandson of the original builder. He being a pilot decided to rescue the old...

Saw a fuel stain on the belly of the RV-6 today. After investigating, it turns out that the carb bowl is loose and I need to replace the gasket between the bowl and the body of the carb. The problem is that my local source - Aircraft Spruce, only has the gasket. They don't have the little...
