Can I modify a used homebuilt aircraft? by
[email protected]
If I buy a used homebuilt, is it possible for me to make big
modifications, such as installing a larger engine, adding long range
fuel tanks, floats, etc., assuming there was an A/P to sign-off on
it? Any FAA approvals required? Is it likely an A/P would be willing
to make major changes like this...

First Flight, actual Homebuilt content by
Al G[_2_]
It is a real pleasure to announce that one of our local EAA
homebuilders, Frank Varnum, made his first flight in his new RV4. N13MJ's
first flight was uneventful. No leaks. No problems.
Frank, 90 years old, and his little brother Gordon, 87, built the RV
over the last several years. No...

Which Ultralight to build..... by
WC
OK, was planning on building a Texas Parasol (as you've probably seen from
my previous posts) but it's looking like it may not be a very good design
for a legal 103. That being the case, what design to build. I spent a good
part of my life as a mechanic, can weld steel and aluminum (stick, mig,...

Aircraft Spruce only keeps records for 2 years?? by

I've had an interesting experience with Aircraft Spruce and I'd like to know
if this sounds like normal business behaviour.
I have a number of instruments in my Rans S6S which were purchased from A/S

reference. During a burglary...

It doesn't fly, BUT... by
Bart[_2_]
I hope I'm not intruding here, but I'm building a car with a plywood
monocoque chassis bonded to fiberglass body panels. It's not as
bizarre as it may sound: the chassis design is based partly on that of
the Marcos GT, which used exactly that model of construction. The
chassis designer was Frank...

Flap gap seals made from vertical venitian blinds by
One's Too Many
A buddy of mine is contemplating making his flap gap seals from the
thin PVC plastic blades salvaged from a set of vertical venitian
blinds. The blades are very thin and flexible enough, and more than
ample long enough, and are 3" wide, which will need trimmed down to
about 2.5" wide so they don't...

brake reservoir installation by

I want to use the ACS Model A-600 brake reservoir. It's the kind that

with the pedals I'll have to put one on the right master cylinder on
the pilot's side and one on the left master cylinder on the copilot's
side. Will this...

Why 2024? by
Lou
My plans call for the use of 2024 1.5mm to use in the forming of
brackets
that will hold the bellcranks. Each part is doubled, (left and right
bracket
top and bottom parts on the bellcranks), so it seems to be extremly
strong.
Now, don't get me wrong, I can make a call today and order the
material...
