To All: One of the Groups I created is called chuggers. All lower case. Simple stuff. Then I went out and caught a dose of cancer. Along with the cancer came something called Hypercalcimia, which caused me to suffer a series of what the medics called 'mini-strokes.' Survived that but found I'd...

To All: Yeah, I know... a bit off topic. But I wanted to say 'Thank you' to those of you who have taken the time to offer tales of unorthodox treatments and cures, often anonymously (hence the public post). Some will think I've lost my marbles, digging in to tales of Seaweed Cures or what-not. ...

To All: It's easy. YOU CAN DO IT. The basic idea is to line a steel drum or barrel with refractory material such as fire brick, mortared together with fire-clay, sand and refractory cement. That will get you a BIG smelter, one you'll probably NEVER USE. So start with a SMALLER steel drum. Get...

I was just thinking that I had not seen any posts from Veedubber for a week or so, and wondered if anyone knew what was up? I assume that he is busy fighting his fight, but concerned that he might be in a tough run right now, and needs extra positive thoughts aimed his way. Anyone know...

I am sure the subject has been discussed,but opening an attached file only to be subjected to SPAM is a bit much. Can this crap be eliminated? Griff

"Quilljar" wrote in message ... An interesting rant, this one. The guy is so inarticulate you end up not knowing what he is for or against...LOL -- Yours Quilly,

Hi I'm conducting a survey for my aeronautics course and I was hoping you all could help me out. I'm focusing on smaller single reciprocating, nonturbine engine aircrafts and I wanted to know what are the most important features/expectations when considering a STOL and/or Light Sport aircraft? ...

Curious to know what engines cost, I was searching on eBay for o-360 engines and came across a listing for a Lycoming O-360-A1D Experimental engine. I thought, since Lycoming's O-360's are used in production airplanes, that these engines have to hold FAA non- experimental status. I know that...

Just as an experiment, I thought I'd clarify the Subject content and see if I can make this sink out of sight faster. Please do not reply. Thanks, Bob K.

Hi Quilly, Yes, schizophrenia is such a sad disease. It does amaze me that people like this somehow manage to carry on normally enough to not be institutionalized. Every once in a while the internet allows us a glimpse into the minds of the mentally ill. I really feel sorry for them. Randy...

Hi All, Forgive the intrusion, I normally post to the glider group where I belong (I posted there too...) but I'm trying to maximize the odds of success of finding a used/nos wheel for a reasonable price. I'm looking for a Cleveland 40-78 wheel/disc. I don't really need the bearings/seals (or...

Does anyone have any experience with Scat cylinder heads on an aircraft. They appear to have a larger cooling area, and are designed for cooling high output VWs. http://www.scatvw.com/CH_Home.htm

OK, so there has been a lot of talk around here, about casting aluminum for VW heads. It was here that I first learned that you can not use iron crucibles for melting aluminum. So, what if you need to cast a little job for something that does not to be a pure aluminum part, for a non-aircraft...

To All: Having received an up-check from my latest visit to the Doctor Shop, I went for a hike today. I hiked all the way from the shop to the office, then from the office to the shed and then back again, this time carrying a pair of defunct Volkswagen heads, selected from a pile of such heads...
