That's a valid point and room temp beer in the UK often is fresh from the cellar where temps are certainly lower. I didn't think a still Lucas joke would stir things up so much, I expected the Canadian hockey joke would have gotten more attention. ;o) tONY "Veeduber" wrote in...

What's the weight penalty for not stripping an old 172, just painting over the old paint, after sanding it first, of course. I'm new at this but willing to make a go of it. I'd like to use a high-gloss polyurethane and some bright colors. TIA for your advice. I've been receiving a lot...

To All: Recently a fellow discovered my post about flying on the cheap (Oct 2001) and got so excited he had to give me a call. Although he wasn't quite ready to begin building, my article convinced him to take the plunge. As his first step toward building an inexpensive flying machine he'd ...

Now that is an achievement. We have been slowly avoiding the Airshow format that has to have a Harrier, or F16's busting my eardrums or a jet powered truck drag race. Way back when EAA was about Experiemental Aviation. Now John Deere and Ford get higher billing and more up front space than the...

Is there anyone on this group that uses one of the following new servers. news.cox.net news.central.cox.net news.west.cox.net nslookup will tell you that they are all mapped to 68.6.19.6 I can't access this group with that server, and so far can't get cox to

How is the 51% rule line drawn? Let's say for example I want a homebuilt Comanche with my own choice of engine and I locate a set of plans as well as the wings and tail feathers from a factory Comanche. If I build the fuselage from the plans and recycle the wings and tail, is it an amateur built...

I need to cut a panel to mount one 3.125" and one 2.25" What size hole saws do I use? Do I use smaller sizes, say 2.125" for 2.25" and 3" for 3.125"? Thanks.

Jim "Captain Zoom" Campbell and ANN entered 2007 with three ongoing lawsuits. By the end of the year, all were dismissed. Most of the action occurred over the past five months, and I've held off posting updates since things have been fluid. It's been a month since the last court order, so the...

Does anyone here know much about the Harmon Rocket II? I've been looking at it, and it concerns me in the fact that the cockpit demensions look a little snug. It has enough room in width, but the distance between the front and back seat seems too close, as does the distance of the instrument panel...

"pac plyer" wrote The same could be done for part 91 flight. We could all write Phil Boyer at AOPA and Paul Jr. at EAA and suggest arming ourselves at little airports across America. This would keep non-flying TSA drones out of our hair while at the same time...

MIDLAND RAATECH FUEL SYSTEMS SEMINAR JULY 10TH As announced earlier, the July 10th RAATech seminar in Midland Ontario will focus on fuel systems and fuel flow in light aircraft. Wayne O’Shea will supply his amateur-built Rebel to show a system that meets amateur-built requirements. Paul Sharpe...

How is a shunt determined for a digital volt meter to determine amp? Can a voltmeter that is using the measured voltage for its own power be set up on a shunt to measure amps? Charlie

Would I be right in assuming that ballistic parachutes and pusher props don't go? Thanks, AC

A friend from Texas who worked for the railroad and liked to fly his supercub along the tracks decided to have a little fun one night. He flew just off the ground down the tracks and just before he got in sight of a freight train roaring down the tracks, he turned on his landing light...

On another site (Emerauders.com) It was mentioned that a retired Aero engineer in Texas had built a P-38, there were pics, but I was unable to open them. It was all metal with a jump seat for his co- builder (wife) Has anyone seen this aircraft?

Jim or anyone else who has 'been there', Are circuit boards available for the capacitive fuel guages featured in the year2000 Kitplanes articles? Or (more desirable to me) is there an easily fabricated optical sensor available for fuel level measurement? Other options???
