Xoooommmm tried to stick it to Adams in ANN for bringing their new A700 aircraft to Osh without the envelope fully opened.

The engine is a 150hp O-320-E2D. The engine only developed 1900 rpm (2200 is normal for us on 2 mags with fixed pitch...

I installed the ALTRAK standalone pitch axis autopilot made by TruTrak Flight Systems in our Glasair 1. This augments the already installed STEC 30 roll axis autopilot. Making up the wire harness that connects the servo to the computer to the aircraft instrument panel is straightforward and took 2...

if you're looking for autofuel stc info, no need to follow this posting down the page. from here on down is a bunch of chevy vs ford bitching/bragging and 'why don't we all go diesel' stuff.

I am looking at biplane designs. The current candidates are Starduster Too, Acroduster Too, and Skybolt Delta. I want a fast 2 seater with a little baggage room for the occasional cross country. Maybe some external stores :-). Plans built as this may take longer to build than the companies stay...

What happens if you finish up a project that has been built by several people, none of whom built 51% (and you didn't either)? Obviously you aren't the owner/builder (and can sign off the annuals) and will have to have an A&P sign off the annuals but who is listed as the builder? Is this be a...
