Hello. I am studying for my O&Ps and I have a question about "approved data" and "acceptable data." I understand that the manufacturer's maintenance manual is only considered "acceptable data," and is therefore not approved for use in making major repairs or major alterations. So let's suppose I...

To All: As promised some days ago, I have been consolidating all of the computerized Primary Glider drawings I have. There's quite a bit of information dating from the late 1980's. It is on five computer systems and in several formats. Unfortunately, the most recent files (which are on memory...

Hi all Does anyone have a copy of a circuit diagram to construct a headset tester? I'd like to construct one to test the headsets students are returning claiming them to be faulty, which after I've headed out to the flight line and plugged in, surprise surprise, there is no apparent fault. Any...

Here is why I was asking about the reverse NACA duct. I am thinking that a simple venturi would be a great backup to an engine driven pump. Naturally no one wants to add the drag that bolting a venturi tube on the side of the plane would give. So I was trying to think of a way to make it...

Hi Group. I tried this on Rec.Aviation.Ifr, but no one has come up with any good ideas, so I am bringing it to you guys, (including the ilk). I had a trip Friday in a 1977 C-337G(pressurized). On the taxi out I noticed the suction gauge was pegged high. The AI erected ok, but the DG required...

One of these days, I'm gonna dust off the Hatz project, and when I do, I'll need to make some scarf joints in 1/16" ply. Suggestions? KB

He's at it again. Now he's convinced the BBC. I suppose it's not surprising as media organizations are dominated by people who aren't good at the practical stuff. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6970031.stm Pleas feel free to contact the BBC and tell then what's wrong with the article.

Can't help you with CAD files but have you tried this virtual panel builder? http://epanelbuilder.com/ Jerry Dave wrote: Hi all, I'm looking for a few accurate CAD templates for basic instruments.

A few month ago a link was posted to a site where you can design a panel online by draging the instument to a panel. I searched Google but could not find it. Anybody knows the URL? Thanks Yoram (panelless) Leshinski

I picked up a project that was supposed to be built with 1.5 degrees of washout towards the end of the wings. The builder unfortunately built them without washout, because while his workmanship was actually quite good he was worried he wouldn't be able to match the wings and one would drop in a...

I appreciated many freinds attend discuss digital meters. In fact, we are interesting in digital meters. First we know most of pilot liking analog meter with many friends help. I forwarded your replies to our engineer. Our engineer told me we should do two kinds of meter, one is flight meters,...

Re the Tango (composite) and RV (metal) an article in July Sport Aviation (pg 54) addresses Drag Coefficient as a function of construction process. The multiplier for the Drag Coefficient for composite is 1.0-1.05 and for flush rivet metal is 1.10. Composite can reduce drag then by 5 - 10% over a...

My #3 cylinder has always run a little cold on the right mag only. I fixed what I thought was an intake leak 20 hours ago and that helped, or at least seemed like it, but today it became clear that #3 was not firing at all on the right mag. To make a very long story a little shorter, the problem...

The description is for an airplane and a car, but it looks to me like mockups of a two-seater airplane fuselage and a four-seater cabin. Judging by the...
