I live in Tallahassee, Florida. I'm trying to find 6061-T6 in various forms, Sadly, the closest supplier I've found so far for what I need is AS&S just south of Atlanta. None of the local shops carry anything but 6063 which is more "bendable." :) I'm considering a commute up to AS&S this weekend to...

I got a few Helio questions..

On the AOPA board an individual is rebuilding a Bellanca Viking and claims that as long as he can show he rebuilt 51% of the aircraft, he can relicense it as a homebuilt experimental. Is this so? Seems like all the basket cases that I've seen rebuilt from the ground up are still certified as...

I"m familiar with the use of 'gauge' when describing sheetmetal. I'm looking at 43.13 where it discusses welded patch repair. It says make the patch out of material one gauge greater than that of the base metal. So I measure the base metal tubing (.035), go to the Inet and look up a gauge chart...

Real briefly... The weather curse of recent years lifted finally. Gorgeous weather, temps in the 70s, cloud cover varying between clear and high scattered to broken. No groundloops yet, but then the Stearman and Waco brigades haven't shown up. Rumor has it that a truly new experience for...

What are the differences between standard "Rip-Stock" material I can get from my local fabric store (or even wal-mart) for $1.00/yd and the polyester fabrics approved for covering an aircraft?

Does anyone know of any production twins with 680s or 670s. The only one I can think of is the Cessna T50. Also, what are the weights of the gipsy series of engines? I'm toying with the idea of a diesel project with a certified diesel if I can find a pair of them and something that I can hang...

I've run across some GREAT posts by R.S.Hoover (Veeduber I think) but can't find a 'profile' and I'm wondering if anyone knows if he has a website, profile or anything where I can find more from him or how I might contact him with comments?
