It is a practical technological innovation for motion detector lights that drastically improve the safety of your home. And they are very cost-effective. There are many effective mechanisms with motion sensor lights but the most common being technology is the PIRs (passive infrared). Since human...

Anyone in the fiberglass / aluminum sheet metal industry ( or other successful enthusiasts ) interested in contributing to some experimentation. If you are interested, and willing to have the results released to the public, I think we could make a real contribution to this debate & perhaps offer...

Hello Nicola You searched drawings beaver? I want to build a scale RC model of a beaver but can not find blueprints, can you help me?? I will be grateful for the information. ---------------------------- Vitaliy

I recently acquired a couple of Peltor 8003 headsets secondhand. They have two stereo jacks. These are molded on so I cannot open them up to see what happens inside. I took the quarter-inch to be stereo, but no: I measured some 290 ohms from tip to ground, and nothing between ring and ground....

Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down behaviour? I tried a google search without much success. Having seen the Charley pictures from Orlando Executive and Punta Gorda, I'm wondering if we are doing the right thing. The standard for tricycle gear GA planes seems to...

that has about 100hp, can fly basic aerobatics safely and cruise at least 150mph. My reference and comparison of this design is Cessna A150. I want a design that has the same aerobtic capability as Cessna A150 with lighter control(Stick of course!), and flys much faster. What I can think of...

I have a Bosch 36 V lithium-ion hammer drill motor with batteries and charger. What sort of propeller would be appropriate to stick onto the shaft of that? Would a powered paraglider propeller be too big? I just want to get a rough idea of how much air that motor can push. Any...

Anyone flying from Ontario to Oshkosh? I would share expenses for the trip. Let me know when you would be going. Thanks.

Hi, As an 8-year (or longer) Kitplanes subscriber, and longtime electronics tech (Army Aviation-trained), I read with interest the articles Jim Weir wrote about building your own RG battery charger (Kitplanes: March, April, & May 2004). This looks just like the ticket for my application, but I did...

Anybody got a 214 service manual that I can borrow for a week. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable "rental" plus send a reasonable deposit plus shipping to get it. I freely admit...to blundering and misreading and then using the KI-211 pinout to wire the interconnect to the 170B. Here's some free...

Trading off tandem vs side by side seating I came upon an idea I wanted to run by the group. The mission my aircraft needs to perform is mostly a single place weekend out and back kind of mission, with an occasional 2 person XC trip. I'd been homing on the tandem seat config because I like the...

PHOTOS: N14 and some PHL - August 07, 2010 - Kathy Jaffe Challenge First, what are the odds of getting C-FWUT (Challenger) at PHL going to Flying W and getting C-FWTT (Pitts) at Flying W. Lots of planes as usual, so here they are. Photos Link: http://phlairline.com/spotter/080710.html

Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

Are there any Cessna Skymaster-type kit aircraft or plans for an aircraft of similar type? Or any other push-pull aircraft for homebuilders?

Ok, I ran into a little problem... I'm laying out the rib design for a 1931 Georgias Special and it uses a Clark Y-15 airfoil. The coordinates (stations if you will) for upper and lower surfaces start at the leading edge and go back to the rear edge. Chord is supposed to be 48". Adding up...

I applied the first coat of Poly-Brush on a little more than half of my fuselage (experimental homebuilt) before I realized I had not stirred the can of Poly-Brush before using. Once the contents from the bottom were stirred up the coating was definitely a darker shade of pink. Is this going to...

That's a valid point and room temp beer in the UK often is fresh from the cellar where temps are certainly lower. I didn't think a still Lucas joke would stir things up so much, I expected the Canadian hockey joke would have gotten more attention. ;o) tONY "Veeduber" wrote in...
