The same old problem but I want to power Litton Gyros I obtained with what I am led to believe is a 3 phase 400hz 155V AC power supply ? I have the Gyros and they have a small board on the side with lots of resistors on them so I really don't know where to start in getting a circuit for these ???...

I'm seeking a plane owner who would be interested in a system to act like AFCS on passenger jets. This system has GPS incorporated along with a touch screen, and a LCD read out that provides system status information. The plane that receives this should have some type of 12 volt charging system....

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

Just watching a movie with a 4 engine prop plane running out of fuel over the ocean. So what would be the best way to conserve fuel. I'm thinking throttle back all four engines and let them loaf along. Or would you cut two engines and let two carry the load. Two would have to work harder,...

If anyone is interested my boyfriend has a Lancair 4 "A" kit for sale. I would love to see it go away so I can have a workshop! He does not have any interest in finishing the plane since he bought a Glasair. e-me if you are interested.

I have learned a few things about the roadable rotorcraft mentioned in an earlier post. One of our chapter members is building a Butterfly, same company, and has seen the motorcycle/rotorcraft perform. The prop does not propel it on the ground. It has a chain drive to the wheels. Also he has...

This question is mainly aimed at Jim Weir, but others are more than welcome to give their 2c. With the aero-lectrics column in kitplanes, a GS tester has just been completed. My question. How hard would it be to make a GS indicator, with say LEDs instead of lines and needles. For example, when...

I have a radio controlled blimp that a friend gave me while I was recovering from surgery. It's been a blast to play with. Filled it back up with He a couple of weeks ago and parked it on the ceiling at home. (without the drive unit) It has deflated slowly. At first it was slammed hard against...

I know that if I ask an IA to do an annual, there are standards to which he must adhere. If I ask for a pre-purchase inspection, what am I getting? Am I correct that unless I specify what to look for I am entirely at the mercy of his level of experience AND his level of enthusiasm at that moment?...
