There's a big deal being made about DHS issuing a warning profiling pretty much anyone who desires smaller federal government. I was reading some of the angry blogs and found an interesting tie-in to aviation. On the following web site, there is a link to a video about mid-page titled "Janet...

Here's a model report on treating home-builders like grownups. Highlights: Mass balancing controls - tight control wires not enough Reduced stick force per G at higher G made worse by aft CofG Don't push the stick hard by mistake - it may be your...

I'm trying to figure out what type of aircraft I saw at Oshkosh '92.. or possibly '93. Here it is: High wing bird, parked in one of the certified fly-in areas. The kicker: It had a motorcycle in it. Yep, honest-to-goodness full-size bike. I *think* it was a BMW R90, but it's been many years,...

be tuned to make 100 HP?

I almost hate to spend the money to make the trip if the turnout is going to be really light. Last year I thought the homebuilt turnout was pretty small. SNF has done a lot of this to themselves. Ever since they tried to make it into a money making event more than anything else, and their split...

I remember Linda Rice's Lockheed had a really cool backlit panel overlay. The panel itself was heavy aluminum sheet, but then they added a plastic overlay that had an opaque cover. Legends and labeling was done by engraving the opaque layer. On the back side of the there were little cavities...

Thought I'd ask for comments before doing something stupid and irreparable to our propeller. We have a Hartzell Q-tip prop on our Glasair. That's the fancy bent over tip that gets all the jokes about the FAA Inspector who grounded a Cheyenne when the propellor first came out. (Looks like the prop...

To All: By the time Whatzhiznamez Inter-Plane Winglets had crossed the Pond they found a buncha Frenchmen just waiting to pounce on them. These French fellows didn't care for 'tail feathers' nor 'hull' nor any of them other home-grown Ami Rican definitions and you could bet your beans they...

On my first cross-country solo, I observed everybody was clearly readable by everybody - except nobody could understand ME clearly. The radio on the club plane is an Icom A200, quite common I believe and not too bad quality though it is on the cheap side. But I can't imagine my poor transmission...

I want to build a power cable so I can practice using my Garmin GNC 420W at home. I called Garmin and was told that I can order their $125 connector kit to build my cable. The GPS side uses a 78-pin connector that looks like a D-subminiature 78-pin connector. Mouser has them for around $10. But...
