Does anyone know what the AUX. AUDIO INPUT pin is used for on a comm. I'm trying to chase down a problem with my two comms. I have a switch to flip-flop between the two comms. Everything checks out good on the switch. However, I'm receiving on both comms. I also have a toggle to turn on an Aux...

Jay why don't you quit crossposting? When you cross post as you do, it just dilutes each NG. Jay Honeck wrote: My Narco 120 is in need of replacement. The Narco 810R is a bit too expensive for me Can you just slide the ICOM into the Narco tray? If not, you'll quickly

Did anyone check out the Aerocat kitplane at Oshkosh? It's a 4-place amphibious twin with detachable floats. The company website is www.creativeflight.com I would love to see some pictures or hear your thoughts on what seems to be a remarkable design. I am not associated with them, but I...

Barnyard Here is another one for the UN-autopower crowd :-) this happened this today close to where I live. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_080703_news_plane_crash.10742d371.html

Hi All, I bought the above radio on Ebay for the ultralight that I am building. Anyway, I'm hoping that I didn't do anything dumb in choosing this older radio. I didn't receive any pin out information from the guy that sold it to me, and I'm assuming that he just plugged a newer set into the...

(aside from blank messages :-) I use DeltaCAD, a simple 2D replacement for the traditional T-square and triangles, to make patterns for parts, from a 56" rib to itty-bitty things for home-made clocks, tiny steam engines and similar stuff. And I talk about it, too. If you hope to share...

I heard someone here not too long ago mention a reliability problem with the old McCullough two-strokes as used in the drone aircraft. The same person also mentioned that there are modifications to address those problems. I wonder if that poster could jump in and give me the scoop on that. I...

The 2006 Oshkosh Bound posters, the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh graphic procedures, and a couple of "wallpaper" graphics of the Oshkosh sectional are posted with a click from: www.rstengineering.com Have a cold one for me, fellers...

Hi - I've been scoping out the cygnet as a good 1st plane to build, and I'm wondering if someone has talked to anyone who's made, is making, or owns one. The plans seems scarce so far. No one at Viking has returned my calls but, they may just be on vacation. AviationBanter seems to be about the...

Duralac Zinc Chromate Paste doesn't appear in the Spruce or Wick catalog, apparently for health reasons. I do see it mentioned for sale by marine stores. Has anyone using an acceptable substitute, easier to locate? - MIke

FIRST, My ebay auction is getting very close to the reserve price. There are two days left. I anticipate having a successful auction. Again, this is a pretty nice plane, and will make someone a great little sportplane that lives up to the "poor man's RV-6" legend. With a set of DMA's new...

Dan Rather/ CBS Evening News is advertising a sensational news story about small airport security, or, as the advertisement implies, the serious lack of it. Typical tag line: "What we found out will surprise you!" Ok...prepare to be surprised...and gutted...and vivisectioned...only as the media...

WallMart has Eveready NiMH 2300 cells, about 11 bucks for 4. I don't think that is expensive, for how many charges you can get out of them. And you are right, they kick alkaline's As* ! :-) I bought an 8 pack from Wally World for appx $17 about 2 weeks ago. FYI.... The previous versions...

There's a big deal being made about DHS issuing a warning profiling pretty much anyone who desires smaller federal government. I was reading some of the angry blogs and found an interesting tie-in to aviation. On the following web site, there is a link to a video about mid-page titled "Janet...

I sort of feel like the Harold Stassen of the EAA election process, but here we go again. In 1997, I ran for the EAA Board Of Directors and got some 700 of you to email me your proxies. The vote was 700 to 35,000 for the proxies that EAA held for the current board member candidate. (I ran in...

What's a couple of good sources for Lycoming OH gaskets and parts. It looks like Fresno Airparts and others like them only carry Continental. Thanks Paul NC2273H

I've got some .035 4130 that I have to cut elevon ribs from. 2 inch on one end, 3/8ths on the other and about 16" long (each one is a different length). The small end fits against a run of tube, the thick end against the elevon spar. Both ends have to be shaped appropriately. The sides of the...

Hello there, we have recently been having our annual Christmas cleanout and I have found a new Microair transponder and a new Microair VHF radio hidden in our storeroom. I have returned the transponder to the manufacturer and it has been updated with all latest modifications so I now believe it is...
