Spar gluing by
Lou Parker
Anyone know of any downfalls to using liquid nails to glue spars together?
And yes, I expect the usual ignorant smart asses, who really don't have an answer.

Regarding the Subject of the ADIZ and Other Restrictions Following 9-11 by
Larry Smith
Osama won, and won big. He wanted Americans to turn on each other after
9-11, and that's what we've done. Our government has turned on us, and in
turn we have turned on each other and are cowering in corners. We are
polarized, full of hate and suspicion, and have given up more of our
precious...

Next Time I Do Fabric Work on an Airplane by
Larry Smith
I'll use Airtech, not Stits, now known as Polyfiber. The latter is a great
process, don't get me wrong. It's just that Airtech is better, simpler,
easier and produces superior results. *And* it lasts and lasts. Take a
look at a 10- or 15-year-old Airtech cover and you'll see why.
As for...

Aluminum vs Fiberglass landing gear - Pro's and cons. by
Bart D. Hull
I'm in the process of building a Team Tango (similar to a Glasair IIFG) and have
a few thoughts about the landing gear. The earlier kits had fiberglass "legs"
and the newer kits have aluminum legs.
I flew in a Tango with the aluminum gear and it seemed quite harsh on landing. I
know aluminum gear...

Fuel-Injected Continental O-200 by
Calvin R. Walker
Has anyone put a fuel-injection system on an O-200? If so, what are the
results? You're probably wondering why. I was just curious about doing
this.

Fast glass biplanes by
Jay
Apart from the Quickie group of planes why aren't there more fast
biplanes? The quickies aren't exactly biplanes I know. It would
appear that 2 short wings can be built lighter than one long one since
the moment arm is half as long for the shorter wing pair. No struts
used because of drag, just...

New Gasair by
Larry Smith
They have established a bunker mentality. First they bragged on their
website that their parts were so coveted that they were demanded and sold to
other builders. Then overwhelming evidence from several builders surfaces
which makes them into liars --- and false pretenders. Their talk...

Correcting Poly-Brush mistake by
Craig Foster
I applied the first coat of Poly-Brush on a little more than half of my
fuselage (experimental homebuilt) before I realized I had not stirred the
can of Poly-Brush before using. Once the contents from the bottom were
stirred up the coating was definitely a darker shade of pink. Is this going
to...

Big gathering at our airfield today: Waco, short-wing Pipers, a princely

a ragged out 310 over in the weeds with two-doglegged props and a klapsed
nosegear. They came in to enjoy our second Indian summer and $100...

Lift-to-Drag Ratio? by
Toks Desalu
Guys-
If we have higher L/D, we need higher thrust to maintain lift equal
weight. Am I reading this correctly? In this case, you would need higher
horsepower?

Pitts Special Steel Tube Fuse Mod. by

I'm wanting to lay my seat back further in an existing pitts S1-S. This
would require moving the tube at the top of the seat back, back about

point, creating a C shaped...

Tail flutter! by
I Can Computer Services
I presume you are all familiar with the Quicksilver GT500. Those who have
flown one will no doubt be aware of the in flight trim and how it works. I
am designing a small single seater. I too would love this in flight trim
assembly on mine. This would involve having a single strut connection on
each...

Rear engine in a crash question by
BernadetteTS
I've been reading through the BD-5 thread and have a question.
I guess this is an opinion thread but what happens to a rear engine
mounted directly behind the pilot in a crash? In something like an
ultralight, BD-5, Cutiss pusher or Vari-EZ does an engine have a
tendency to rip loose and go...
