Does anyone have the knowledge of what the weight difference is between 1 square ft. of 3 mil. plywood and 1 square ft. of 1/2" styro core composite? Or maybe someone could give me the weight of the 1 square ft. of 1/2" styro core composite? Lou

I've read Part 61. Its more than a little confusing. I understand the limitations of a sport pilot flying under a "driver's license" medical. That part is pretty clear. I currently hold an "old" commercial license with an instrument rating and have quite a few hours. I don't hold a current...

I am starting the planning of my panel and wondering how many people have shock-mounted their gyros. Please also comment if you have NOT done so, and weather or not you think it actually helped. I am working with limited panel space (aren't we all) and the shock mounts will take up valuable...

I have a Collins VOR receiver and a connected Collins VOR/LOC display installed in the Emeraude. The receiver has an LED digital display for frequency or bearing. If I select, say, "from" I will get a display of the bearing from the VOR station. If I rotate the OBS on the panel VOR/LOC instrument...

A few questions, for those in the know: Both of the radio-controlled biplanes I've owned were designed with the lower wing at a higher AOA, so that it stalled first. They also had the upper wing farther forward than the lower. If the lower wing stalls, the CG will be a little on the aft side of...

I'm cleaning out the hanger! All the stuff that fell by the wayside etc. Let's see.....An early RV-4 wing,spar and tail kit that was only uncrated last week! A set of CHRIS TENA Mini Coupe wings that are really REALLY well built. Two sets of Scott 1260-H masters and pedals ( unused) some unused...

I am danish and moving to Chicago. I fly ultralight under danish regulations (similar to the rest of europe). What kind of licence is required to fly a 2-seater, 1000 pound airplane in the states? Thanks Soren

Does anyone have a running or rebuildable Limbach L2000 or L2400 aircraft engine they would like to sell, or any leads on one in the US or overseas? Thanks Mike

Needing some high-strength 7/16ths bolts, over the holidays I visited one of the unofficial RV assembly plants here in San Diego county. Located in an industrial park adjacent to the airport, the fellow has set-up permanent fixtures just like a real aircraft factory, allowing him to assemble an RV...

Hi! Is there any active web forum with a special focus on Sport Pilot and LSAs ? SP used to be a fairly active topic in this newsgroup, but recently I have seen surprisingly few entries here (and some in r.a.piloting). Maybe I'm just getting blind and my google searches bad, but please...

Greetings all: Do any of the inhabitants or R.A.Hombuilts know of Detroit/Flint/Ann Arbor Michigan area owners or builders of Cassutt I, II, IIIM or Sonerai I aircraft that would not mind a visit by local Ypsi builder? Curtis Scholl

It's time-proven to be a ridiculously expensive, inefficient, loud, and generally nasty beast of mediocre reliability. I hope Textron loses money on each one and finally shutters the 652 Oliver St. building quietly and without fanfare one day. Certificated aircraft owners will be looking at...

I am looking for ideas here; ATC says my radio transmissions sound 'scratchy' or 'staticy' as little as 15 miles out on callup. I have been going nuts trying to find the cause. The aircraft has 2 independant radios, 2 antenna systems (one on top of the fuselage, one underneath). One radio replaced...

Redlands Muni, L12, from "Aerodynamics" They lost their lease, and are charging $1.99/gallon until it's gone.

Hi Group! I have been away so long. I am not someone any out there are familiar with. A lurker at best. I am now ready to start building my Renegade Formula V again. But, the wings are wood... Does any one have any study plans available for the Sonerai I? I would like to see what can be done for...

I see the history channel is rerunning that series. Here on the West coast it is scheduled to start at 8PM tonight.

It's a lot of work to build and you wind up with a skittish little plane with either a piece of **** Lycoming or a lot of kludge work to accomodate better.

Well, here's hope that the new year brings everything you want and need...unless it conflicts with what I want and need. :-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com
