Tijuana question by
Tri-Pacer[_2_]
I'm down in San Diego for a while. When I was stationed here as a Marine in
the 60s I took my car down to TJ to get the seats recovered. They did a
bangup job for few bucks.
I have an older plane that is covered by CAR 3 where the interior fabric
only has to meet flash resistance. Modern...

thingee about valves.
It is mostly basic stuff but if also includes a few tricks of the
trade that allows your engine to take a deeper breath when using just

Gee Bee question by
[email protected]
I'm studying the Gee Bee series of planes and I have a question that
may be obvious to you, but not me. I know that flying wires are
supposed to be dual for safety purposes. The flying wires on the
outboard part of the wing ( Gee Bee R2 and Z models ) are dual, OK. I
am assuming that the load of...

VW Engine Talk -- What Year is Best? by
[email protected]
None of them.
The alloy used in the VW crankcase has proven to be susceptible to age-
hardening and the cracks which follow. It took about thirty years (!)
for that fact to become evident but tests went back and confirmed that
the crankcase, which is a magnesium-aluminum alloy, became...

four ounces? I get a Big Lab once a month, plus the Little Lab once a

1P = 1000W by
[email protected]
....where P is equal to Picture and W is equal to Word(s).
Building an engine -- or an airplane -- there are times when I fail to
provide a lot of detail, partly because I ASSUME everyone KNOWS those
pesky little details. Which makes me something of a fool.
How much black-powder makes a safe...

Reading one of the piloting web/video services and came across this
comment:
"Still; there remains the specter of trouble ahead... as most of the
better offerings at the USSAE (LSA aircraft) cost well over 100K... and
we're not sure that there is a sustainable market for aircraft in that

Replacing compressor unit question? by

After 35 years of faithful service, my Sears compressor has died. I
was blowing the water out of the motorhome plumbing, getting ready for
the freeze. It took about ten minutes of blowing air into the intake
while my wife bled all the water out of the various fixtures. The

Cable Tracker by
[email protected]
One of the more troublesome aspects of aviation electrical work is the
fact our wires are usually NOT color-coded. That means you can have a
bundle of twenty wires and before you can do any useful work you will
need to figure out which one of the twenty at the equipment rack is
the frayed one...

Pickled Engine by
[email protected]
To All:
I'm not too sure why this topic gets raised every year about this
time. Even if you're snowed in you should be able to get out to the
airport once a month or so to fire-up the Dream Machine and let her
warm up. (Here in
Sandy Eggo we don't have that problem.)
But a couple of messages on...

Weld over brazing by
Michael Horowitz
This is not aircraft related.
I did some brazing on a tank and then later decided it would have been
easier to have welded.
I read somewhere that one should not attempt to weld over brazing.
I assume becase the brazing material melts at a lower temp than the
base metal, that welding over a braze...
