I read about a homebuilder making his own static wicks using carbon fiber and heat shrink. He attached them to a screw. He threaded copper tubing, epoxied it in with wiring that went to the engine mount. Then he just screwed in the wicks. Anyone have any thoughts on this, any other ideas?

HELP! A couple of months ago I went to a website called www.affordaple.com. I looked the site over and liked parts of the aircraft so I sent the owner Dave Edwards a personal check in the mail, a personal check for $45.00 for printed plans.

Hi All, I'm looking for recommendations for a low battery warning voltage level. I was going to use 12.8V - is this liable to be triggered by noise/dips in the bus voltage? My guess is when heaters or motors kick in there could be a momentary drop due to high current that could trigger my low...

There was some postings about the EAA DVD on the 2005 Air Venture. The postings have now apparently disappeared. Is there some censoring going on here? If so what was the basis for the removal of the subject postings? Stuart Fields

Mine started leaking after 20 years of service, not a bad service life for something that I can replace for less than $10 at aircraft Spruce, or $14 from Sacramento Sky ranch. But since it is brass and looks to be in great shape, I would just like to replace it's rubber seal. I thought it was...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you hangar bums. I haven't been around much lately, too busy with work and trying to move. Hope to be settled with the first of the year and get back in the swing of things. Bob Reed

Hi All Two years ago I replaced my aging Narco Com 120 with a TKM MX-11R slide in replacement radio and thought I'd give a performance update. #1 Installation: This is a true slide in replacement. Remove old one and install new one and you're good to go. Simple (for me). I've heard...

I checked NBC's website. This was a (national) 1 hour long show - 2 pm in the Twin Cities (CST). Yup, it's over now. "World of Adventure Sports" Segments include the Red Bull Air Race, an aerobatic flying competition. I watched it for a half an hour. Good effort by the network. Montblack
