Hi, folks, I am a recent film school grad writer/director working on my first feature length script that involves aviators that flew between WWI and 1926. The "CN-4 Curtiss Jenny" is the plane that I will be dealing with for the most part. My first requirement is to find someone who knows a lot...

I have read a reference that kermit weeks' ki-61 has two tail units. I understand that there is an allegation that a relatively intact Ki-61 in PNG had its tail unit scavenged (illegally) and that the extra tail unit that is with the Week's 61 belongs to that aircraft. Considering the rarity of...

My old project plane has working flap but it appears pin for hinge is corroded and stuck. Flap needs to be removed for access to rear main gear bracket. I can't get a grip on holding the pin and pulling or twisting. Being cheap , would rather not cut the pin into small removable pieces as a...

In the book and first movie version of "The Filght of the Phoenix," a shortage of Caufman starter cartridges is a key plot point and provides the dramatic climax of the story. I've done a quick internet serach and did not turn up any current suppliers for said cartridges. How would the movie...

I need to learn good old fashioned dope and fabric work, you know, using butyrate dope and real cotton fabric. I'm building a 1920s replica, want to make it authentic as possible. My question -- will the EAA Fabric Covering workshop be useful? Even if they use "the Poly Fiber covering process?" ...

This has been one of my favorite planes for many years. Some years ago I knew a former WW2 pilot who became one of the first regular service pilots to fly the P-80. Previous to that he had been a combat pilot in P-47s and before leaving the States for Europe he developed a reputation of flying...
