I have a question I'm hoping you may be able to answer based on a Kitplanes article (Dec 1997) I came across concerning the topic. As part of an upgrade program in the Flight Simulation Lab here at the University of Toronto, we purchased a new helmet mounted display system. This helmet includes an...

I have not seen a definitive description as to what can be done in the way of modifications to either "Special -LSA" or "Experimental -LSA" vs. "Experimental - Amateur Built". It seems that S-LSA cannot be modified by the owner/operator without the manufacturer's approval - Is this the equivalent...

Hi: I'm doing research for my latest magazine article and I was wondering if you could help me. I'm collecting information for people who might be trying to figure out which kit/plans/finished homebuilt to buy. I suspect everyone who buys an airplane has a set of factors they're looking for, but...

So, I was flying back home, happily burping all the shellfish I ate at the Shelton Oysterfest, when my engine started speeding up. Well, it didn't really - but my tach said it did. Without touching the throttle, I went from 2400 rpm up to 3400. Funny, my airspeed didn't change. It looks like my...

Has anyone ever used a liquid to liquid cooler on a home built. I know this type of cooler is normal on a turbin engine but what would it do to a normally asperated engine and none JP rated fuels? What do you have in mind, using a heat exchanger to cool your oil and warm up the avgas in your...
