Pitts brake fluid by
Al MacDonald
While recently doing some extended inverted time, practicing rolling out on
headings while still trying to maintain altitude, I noted some brake fluid
had leaked onto the pedals and got rather slippery. I hadn't noticed this
before, as most of my stuff so far has been positive Gs. I'm assuming...

Christen Eagle Inspection Help by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I'm travelling to the US from the UK in a couple of weeks time in an
attempt to buy an Eagle.
Although I can do a preliminary inspection, I would feel far happier
having either an Eagle experienced engineer or an existing Eagle owner
to help inspect the prospective aircraft.
If an...

C-172 by
gt
I own a 1960 Cessna 172 with 2500 hours on the airframe. It is not
rated for aerobatic flight, but the positive and negative G loads that
it is approved for far exceed the normal G forces associated with a
well-executed barrel roll.
Has anyone heard of this maneuver being performed in a 1960 172?

seriously strange aerodynamics? by
J. Perkins
I came across two very short videos of a Hind. What do you make of these
flight characteristics? Is this normal autorotation for this bird??

cloth helmet by
Yann D.
Hi
Anyone could help me finding a light cloth helmet for my standard
"clark-like" headset ?
I have made something efficient but ugly with clips from an old mtb
helmet. There are nice leather helmets on the web but often circa $200
which is definitely too much for the thing, and anyway will not...

Pitt wings by
Al MacDonald
Greetings,
I'm looking at purchasing a good used Pitts S-1D with "C" wings. I can't
imagine why anyone would make this combination but I'm thinking it will keep
me on the learning curve for quite some time anyway. I've read the
difference between the "C" and "D" wings are an extra set of...

Opinions? by
Chris
Was just looking over some old brochures, and got to thinking about the
Starduster line of biplanes. Anyone have experiences with them? In
particular the Acroduster or Super Starduster models.
Also, as a fan of aviation history, as well as the newer sport designs, I'm
curious which of the two is...

Novice question by
Burt Tims
Many years ago a remember reading about an aerobatic maneuver in which the
aircraft, flying basically straight and level, was thrown into an attitude
which caused it to "tumble", in effect going tail over nose, then recovering
to straight and level. My best memory of the name of the maneuver was...

Pitts Certification by
moby
I have a recently bought Pitts S1-C and I am trying to get its new
airworthiness certificate since the one it had became void at the change of
ownership. The FAA, however, wants a letter stating that the S1-C is an
aerobatic airplane which seems like complete bull to me. I'm wondering where
I could...

I have an older Pitts S-1 project I an trying to finish. It has
Sparcraft 4 aileron wings. The old plans I have do not show the CG

Thanks!
