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...

Greetings all, I know this must've been discussed here before, but I couldn't find anything definitive one way or the other when searching with Google. A friend who's starting an amateur-built experimental aircraft project recently emailed me to ask if there's a list of the *minimum*...

Has anyone done it? I did the obligatory google search, and found nothing in 20 seconds (so it must not exist, right? ;-) Obviously, though, I'm not the first idiot to think of it. I'd like to see a light plane with canoes for pontoons. There'd be vertical tubes that would drop down (think a...

I recently purchased the Sears "Professional" Lithium batteried driver drills. I purchased two because I was in the process of erecting a metal building. The batteries and charger worked good but the keyless chuck on both drills exhibit what I call "Auto Loosen". I have several other keyless...

I gave jaun enough rope to make a fool of himself .So just for the record you can go to the following sites and see copies of my registrations for my 97 ,00 and 03 Dodge Ram trucks, all with my name listed as the owner. Everyone knows that you can't get plates and registrations without titles. I...

I sold my mechanical Ruggles weigh scales and now am trying some digital automotive racing scales that are just a little more expensive. The scales I found are actually less expensive than normal racing scales but the real advantage is that they can be sold individually rather than a set of four....

I'm thinking about using an electric diesel fuel pump to pressurize my 0320 with engine oil to pre-lube before starting. Have any of you tried that? The accumulator method is heavier than I want to use.

I believe Comtronics has a web site. Why not ask the maker? "Richard Riley" wrote in message ... I have a new Comtronics "Ultra Pro 2000" (doncha love that name?) helmet/headset. It's output is a single 1/4" plug with 3...

It is more fuel efficient to drive a pick-up truck with its tailgate down, rather than up. Busted Driving with the tailgate down actually increased drag on the pick-up and caused it to consume fuel faster than the identical truck driven with the tailgate up. It was later revealed that the...

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 -...

My unofficial Fly Baby Home Page now has a new abode: http://www.bowersflybaby.com/ Thanks to the good offices of Javier Henderson, it's got a lot more room to spread out in. This allowed me to do a major reorganization, and do stuff like have thumbnail links to all the pictures. Remember: ...

Does anyone here know if Lloyds 1088 Marine grade Okoume plywood would be a good replacement for Aircraft grade African mahogany? The Okoume used water proof glue and is boiled in water for 3 hours just like Aircraft grade plywood. The price of mahogany appears to be going through the roof and...

when I look at my eyeglass case, I see two closely overlapping wing-type shapes that are being pulled apart for opening. why would it not be worthwhile to extend wings this way for landing and departure? /iaw

Is there any home built plans for a twin engine?
