The news reported yesterday or the day before that an experimental ultralight plane (they obviously don't know that there is a difference) crashed in north GA. There were no details beyond this. Anyone have more to add? Harry

Ok... I'm sure most anyone that reads this will think I'm an idiot, but I'm so curious... Could I build an ultralight airframe from EMT (electrical conduit) from the local hardware store? I know that welding it would be inadvisable due to the fact that it is galvanized (although I understand...

An interesting article I found on the U.S. and Soviet Nuclear Powered AIRCRAFT Programs and how they came to be and then not to be. Check it out here http://www.aviationearth.com/the-story-behind-the-termination-of-the-us-and-soviet-nuclear-powered-aircraft-program/

With reference to sandblasting, what is garnet? - Mike

Thanks, John. The reason that I'm looking for something other than a standard 1/4 wave antenna is that I have one of those now, and it isn't working. I know nothing about antennas other than what I've read on the 'net, but I've been told that the location of mine isn't the best. It's on the wing...

Anyone know where to find a TM for Army XM-76 antioscillation monocular? Let's you read a license tag or roadsign from a helicopter. I checked the logsa army.mil ETM site but not there. -bob

The 2007 Nall Report is out: http://download.aopa.org/epilot/2007/07nall.pdf But I'm having a hard time believing the numbers presented in Figure 35 on page 24 (which is explained in the first paragraph on page 25). I'm pretty confident that there are more than 2,972 registered experimental...

I'm trying to construct this circuit from Jim Weir's circuits page. Not having much luck, but I am trying. I'm a sailboater, (you would not want ME driving a plane!). Can Jim or someone with some electronics look at my non-working attempts. I have some pictures with my circuit descriptions...

Here's something I was reading: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996380 So beyond the mere claim of being more efficient, why would it actually be so? The claim of hovering for 4 days is quite a jump, when compared to Global Hawk. Is this even vaguely realistic?

Does anyone need a cowling, wing tips or a canopy for a RV-3? All brand new. I also have a Sensenich metal prop in great shape. Dia 70" Pitch 50" You can reach me at or 1-618-937-6767

How would something like the Hiller flying platforms, the Piaseki "AirGeeps" or, for that matter, the Avro Aircar, done as a homebuilt be licensed? They don't seem to fit any of the normal categories I'm familar with. -- David L. Burkhead "May I be just half the...

Cut that one a little close, we did we did. The Oshkosh Bound artwork for printing your own "Oshkosh Bound 2007" posters is up at www.rstengineering.com and then a link from the bottom of that page. Also posted is the updated graphic showing the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh transition. Please don't use...

Hi All, I am fitting my homebuilt with instruments and radios, and wanted to add a Direction Finder. I wanted a doppler type, but with small antennas in a 4 point aray with a small dimension or distance between the antennas. Am I really far out of reason, or is this an achievable goal? Charlie

Dear List, Anyone here seen any high time homebuilts.I do some part time work at a RANS dealer, and I was wondering how long one of these would last.I have heard some stories, but I have not personally been able to verify.Anyone on this list have a high time RANS?

We have set up a new BBS at http://www.hog-air.com/BBS/index.php I hope you check it out and find it useful. If there is anything you would like to see added to it please let us know. Thanks Brett

Looks like our old friend Paul is at it again. Reminds me a lot of the contractor-guy in that movie "The Money Pit". (When will my house be done? Oh, in about two weeks!) Right. And Jerry Lewis said that we were only a few years away from a cure for MD. That was in 1977. At least the reporter...

I am looking for an extra seat in Washington DC area to fly to OSH. I am a low-time private pilot and a first timer to OSH. Besides sharing the cost,I can also help with navigation, serving PIC coffee,talking to PIC to keep him/her awake etc. Shin Gou

I"m planning on sandblasting with sand. Worried about cillacosis (sp). When evaluating a respirator for use in sandblasting with sand, what characteristics of the mask should I look for? - Mike
