Recently I acquired an Icom A6 in the "Sports pack" version, i.e. including an adapter for the car lighter plug. This adapter is called a CP20. Through a slight mistake in my car cabling, I managed to connect it to the battery the wrong way around, plus and minus were inversed. Yes yes it's...

Hi! Any RV builders out there? I just joined this forum and am building an RV-9A.

I'm still getting LOTS of messages from guys who just Don't Get It. So let me try it again. It is NOT a question of an RV vs a Falco. The most basic factor is COST which means we can rule out such high-priced examples. Right now I've been making comparisons between the VP-I as the 'all...

They say that they had a 30' by 50' tent the http://mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=toddfowler&project=537&category=0&log=59917&row=2 I'm curious if anybody here who went to Osh Kosh in 2008 saw them. Also, does anybody know the tail number (n-number) of any of their airplanes here in...

Hello everyone, Remember a while back that I was having problems with the incredibly long, tall, narrow, light trailer that I built to haul my Wright Brothers machine? If you have forgotten, that wonderfully practical (cheap) trailer had a tendancy to roll faster than a Pitts in a crosswind....

Following StealthPilot's lead, I've posted a picture of a cluster to rec.aviation.binaries, Subject: Cluster - in what order are the members tacked in place? If you had to build this cluster, which order would you tack the vertical member in place? Would all members touch the longeron? When you...

Dear Paul, I wish to hell I knew how to put the damn thing on! On the advice of my sister, who was Hi Bob: When the PT gal at the VA gave me the machine she gave me some handouts.

Wilbur and Orville Wright are the source of many a great quote. They had a perspective on life, work, and the flying problem that many folks would do well to adopt. That being: chop the problem into little peices and work on them in stages. And if you don't know how to do something, then get some...

Mention 'The Man From Illinois' and most people will say 'Abe Lincoln.' And I mean, most people EVERYWHERE. But for me the 'man from Illinois' will always be the fellow who asked my opinion regarding the least expensive way for him to fly. To give him an honest answer I needed to know a bit more...

Hi - I've been scoping out the cygnet as a good 1st plane to build, and I'm wondering if someone has talked to anyone who's made, is making, or owns one. The plans seems scarce so far. No one at Viking has returned my calls but, they may just be on vacation. AviationBanter seems to be about the...

Hi Folks, Been thinking of this kit for quite some time now, and was wondering if there are any builders or owners here that I could get in contact with? TIA Steve

Hello everyone. I've been practicing. Tubemiter has generated a working set of templates, The angle grinder and my dad's 1/2 round tripple-cut ******* were given a thorough workout. I even made a pilgrimage to H-F on Saturday and picked up a tubing notcher. (Do those (insert slur of your choice)...

Forwarded from the Bearhawk group. Read this. If you fly for recreation, you may not be doing that much longer. ========================= I apologize for the length of this but wanted people to realize what is going on. This total insanity is being repeated at all 450 commercial airports in the US...

To All: Often times we have the need to create small but accurate shapes in metal or wood. When the 'part' happens to be in two dimensions rather than three, such as a stencil (!) or an airfoil template, a common method of making the part is to simply print it out then glue the print-out to a...
