Flying on the Cheap - Wood by
[email protected]
To All:

build an inexpensive airplane that was safe and reliable (Flying on the
Cheap, October 2001; Google will find it for you). The key point in
the article was the use of commonly available mild steel tubing for...

Jim Weir's OSH Chairs by
Jay Honeck

in 30+ years.
He did, however, ceremoniously ship his beloved OSH airshow chairs to

Smoke system using used propane torch bottle? by
Scott
I seem to recall a relatively simple smoke system that used a propane
torch bottle to hold the smoke oil and I believe it was pressurized with
air to eliminate the need for a pump. I realize it would only be good
for short bursts, but that is exactly the application I need. Any
reference to...

How's the Composites holding up? by
Jeff
Many moons ago, (early to mid-eighties), I was reading quite a bit of
material about the "new" composite airplane revolution and how different
life was going to be with the ability to make planes from the fantastic
substance. The main concern from the "experts" in many of these articles

Buying prop strike engine by
[email protected]
http://www.whiteindustries.com/
White Industries lists engines with flange runout. What does flange
runout tell about the engine?
It seems some prop strike engines have a larger flange runout reading
than others, and the larger the flange runout, the lower the price.
Why?
Thanks.

to organize and plan for the 2006 event. The dates are October 6th,
