Fisher Horizon 2 STOL by
IAN DONALDSON
G'day from Australia
A friend of mine has purchased a Fisher Horizon 2 STOL that was made in the
USA and imported into Australia.
The manner in which some of the construction has been done is now causing
him some concern. He has been in touch with the people that took over the
factory, but he...

Scripps model 302 V12 engine by
butch burton
Saw one this weekend in a Gar Wood speed boat-circa 20's/30's. Huge
thing with 2 plugs per cylinder, 891 cu in and 316 HP. Layout looks a
lot like the WWII Rolls Royce V12. Just curious if anyone knows if
this engine started life as an aircraft engine and was later modified
for speed boats. ...

Effect of Light Sport on General Aviation by
Gilan
I think you haven't seen that many message threads on SP/LSA because they
get so heated like discussions on religion or politics. Maybe folks are
burned out arguing over the subject. Of course there really isn't anything
to argue about. I think the new LSA will be a good thing and have a...

I picked up an old Narco Com IIA radio.
I'd like to wire it up at home in the garage so I can listen to the

would identify the connections on the back. I can't find any, not...

Group Activity by
Wayne Paul
I have been off this group for over a year. Previously this was a very
active group; however, there has been very few messages since I returned.
It may be due to my service provider, or maybe with the passing of a few key
members the overall activity has significantly diminished.

Propeller or jet to push an in-line skater? by
John Doe[_4_]
How far-fetched is the idea, to use a propeller or jet engine
(radio controlled type?) to push an in-line skater? How does
aircraft takeoff thrust compare to using a conventional motor and
wheel to push oneself along the ground? What sort of incline would
be achievable at say a skater weight of...

Yo! Fuel Tank! by
Veeduber
Riveted aluminum fuel tanks are smart. They're easy to build and superbly
practical for the homebuilder since she can make them in whatever shape she
needs.
Most folks shy away from this fabrication technique due to the high cost of
Pro-Seal, still listed at more than $8/oz in the Aircraft Spruce...

Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order
of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably

The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...
