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

I googled, but there's not much infor. about converting the turbine in the microturbine generator for aircraft use. So I am tossing my idea here. The Capstone's microturbine generator looks very neat. The generator has 60kw output, and the turbine itself should have higher output, enough for a...

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...

The first edition of my video is up on the net. There is one glitch that I can't seem to figure out. At 14.40 into it the video locks up. For some reason the progress arrow that moves under the pic outruns the fed data. I have been able to view the second half of the video by simply taking the...

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...

Michelin recomends inflating tires with nitrogen. What about Argon? I got a bottle of argon I use in Mig welding aluminum. Isn't argon better than Nitrogen? What about the common 75% Argon and 25% CO2 welding mixture?

Some equipment I installed mentions form 337 - for example VOR/LOC/GS receiver, IFR GPS, etc., Is 337 required in a new kit project? It is for "Major repairs and alterations". Or does the DAR approve the whole package together? Please advise any required...

Does anyone know how one would install two separate airspeed indicators? I suspect one would need a separate pitot tube systems. Is this correct? Also, how does one go about correcting an error (either too fast or slow) in the indicator. I'm 2/3 done with the fuselage of my Zenith Zodiac 601XL...

This is one of those questions where there must be a simple answer. This is probably the forum to get the best explanation. Why aren't vacuum driven gyro instruments driven by pressure instead? The reason I'm wondering is because about 2" of suction is sufficient to power a turn needle, and while...

http://ruben.members.selfnet.de/forum/download/file.php?id=90 Seen in the Technik-Museum in Speyer, Germany. Searching for the registration D-EAAQ turns up Cessna 172 and Klemm L35, so that can't be it. There's the logo of the Air Power 09 Steiermark on both sides; their site doesn't show anything...

DC1428A, Aircraft Spruce Part Number 11-11685, is a 14V to 28V DC-DC Converter for use in home-built aircraft. This unit provides up to 3.7A of 28V power to avionic systems in aircraft that have 14VDC electrical...

In a related post I asked if anyone had heard of such a thing. So far the only response indicates a misunderstanding of how bamboo is used for such things. In the tropics -- with Vietnam being a fair example -- bamboo often has a diameter of several inches. When split AND STEAMED you're...

Lately I've had to use the stuff to work with some pre-made parts that were made from epoxy. Aeropoxy. Stinky! Epoxy is more viscose, so it doesn't wet out the cloth as well. It is more toxic, especially some of the older formulas. And smells horrible. And why did so many homebuilders get stuck...

I am toying with teh idea of using a single-rotor turbo-normalized mazda with reduction-drive and was wondering if there are any builders out there who have checked out the same possibility? I'm only looking for around 100-120 hp, with weight an obvious consideration. The only name I have heard of...
