I've noticed that my prop is beginning to show signs of wear -chips in the leading edge, and cracks in the clear finish. Given that I'm having shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks (and probably won't be up to flying until the arm is substantially healed), I should have some time on my hands to...

Found this on my lawn this morning! Must have fallen from the sky! I don't know what it is but I think I will try to sell it. http://webs.lanset.com/aerorv/mini-500/imga0109.jpg

Most of you have never heard of Vernon Payne. He's best known as the designer of a spiffy little biplane called the Knight Twister. Rag & tube fuselage, solid spruce spars, plywood skins on cantilevered wings. Slicker than snot on a door knob. First flew about 1929 and continues doing so today...

So I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but it's important to have a goal in...

Someone used masking tape many years ago to cover some screwheads on my leading edge. Pulling it off only gives me strips of masking tape. Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff? - Mike

Search on ebay for item number : 4533523478 Anyone know the name of the "famous designer" refered to? The performance claims seem unrealistic at best. I doubt even the short wing version will reach 237 mph.....unless in a full power straight down dive. Just my opinion.

I just watched a program about the huge Oresund bridge between Denmark and Sweden, and there was a segment about how the corrosion problem for the bridge was dealt with. Instead of painting, they use sealed compartments that have the air humidity kept below 60%. This they said eliminates...

G'day I am looking for some laminated fiberglass spring to us on the tailwheel of my Murphy Rebel. Could anyone advise me where I might purchase some? thanks and regards

I am trying to piece together the process of vacuum bagging a CF part from several sources and comments. I am trying to achieve a glossy finish on the mold side of the finished part. I though that the gloss that I saw on a purchased part was achieved from GelCoat. The manufacturer tells me no -...
