Back when I was working for the airlines, we used a burn salve called KIP (Kip Inc, North Hollywood CA) in both the airborne medicine chest and the hangar toolboxes. It was distributed by an outfit called Swift Laboratories (also in NH CA). It is the greatest thing since sliced bread and bottled...

Anyone here working on a KIS TR-1? Evan

So, as I understand it, we are maybe a little over 60 days from the new sport plane rules coming back from the OMB and hitting the federal register and becoming 'the rules'. Have I missed the discussion on 'professionally assembled' kits being sold to the public? That is, as I understand it, to...

Would the January 01 dimmer be sufficient to use in our RV7 to drive about 1 amp total? I saw the April 01 dimmer but I would like to keep the circuit simple.

Ok, I am confused. Take Lancair website for example.Propjet kit, price 115k. Ok. Click on engines and props.Engine 120k, prop 18k. Ok.Parts and Options.Huh? what parts do I need and which ones are options?I would say that cabin heat at 20,000 ft is a necessity, not an option.Somewhat...

Hi all, thought I would come to the fountain of knowledge that is Usenet to get some advice on kits. After thinking long and hard about it I have decided I want to build an airplane. Not terribly suprising considering the group. But what plane to build? After looking at the list of needs v.s....

Spoke with Jon Sharp last night, ran a little update up the flag on the progress of his nearly finished kit project, to be raced at Reno this year.. (hopefully) If anyone is interested, click link in my sig, link to story is near the top of the page. Wayne Sagar All Aviation FlightLine...

Well folks, I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms on this. I searched the usenet archives on google about this, and nothing quite answered my question, so... I emailed Skystar, but want to ask here too. The kit manufacturer claims a 150mph cruise and 160mph top speed. This seems a little...

I have been requested to build a pair of aluminum wing tank for a KitFox. I don't have the details yet as to the model, but I thought I'd try to locate some info. Is there a place on the web where I might find diagrams or co-ordinates for the several airfoils used on KitFoxes? -- Bruce A....

KITFOX BANKRUPTCY The company known as Kitfox has filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and it looks as if anyone who has sent in a deposit or who has paid for parts will get little or nothing. Here is the link to the papers that have been filed show_case_doc_1,89321,,,,1.pdf] . There is a large tax...

Das Fliegen wird immer teurer und teilweise unerschwinglich! Eine günstige Alternative wäre der Selbstbau eines Flugzeuges! Ich spiele bereits seit einiger Zeit mit diesem Gedanken und habe jetzt auch die entsprechenden Räumlichkeiten zur Verfügung! Damit es mehr Spass macht und ev. auch zur...

Great article on Slusarczyk and the Hawk. It even talks about the flies in the refrigerator. Betsy

Hey Ron, Ok, now that I am infamous, where are the riches you promised. Just got my September issue of KitPlanes and saw the story on Building a Home Page. Great article and I was pleased to see my Web Page in the composite shot at the beginning of the article. I was really surprised to see a...

Here's proof the price of electronics is going down. I was transferring files to a new computer, and I came across a .pdf from the October 1985 kitplanes magazine with the title "The $10 Airplane Headphone, Kodak and the Shack are back to save Your Ears and Wallet." Written by Jim Weir of Radio...

On the Kitplanes website there's a "pay-per-view" feature that allows you to download individual articles from past issues - at $7.50 a whack - but I figure "Okay - no waiting - cool"... In my case I needed the September and November '04 Jim Weir column so I can build his slick VOR tester. So I...

I have about three or four years of my monthly Kitplanes columns that have not been posted on my website for you all to use. I used to post them every month, but with dialup it was taking me (literally) hours to cut, paste, upload, resume ... for each article. I also had a wonderful volunteer...

Does anyone know when the August issue of Kitplanes is going to be out? When do they normally send it if you subscribe? There's an article on the Old Men's Airplane Building Project (OMABP) i.e. Jess Meyer's RV-6A with the Chevy engine in it. You might recall that I was the test pilot on that...

That "experiment" didn't seem to find the lift its builders expected: http://www.kitplanesmag.blogspot.com/ Too bad - not sure if it was a lack of traffic (inadequate marketing) or simply too much of a drain of their finite time relative to what they thought they thought they were gaining.

Is there a store or other source that still has old copies of the Kitplanes magazine CD-ROM that has a database / search facility for kit aircraft? The magazine no longer sells the information in a CD format, so I am looking for suggestions. David
