Of course I posted this several times before throughout the years. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1029186287851621640 I have posted the story below before, but it is My Christmas Story, so I'll share it again... :^) My grandfather came to the US to visit us a few years back. He...

To A Few: Yes, I think what you're doing is funny, as in worth a laugh. Not in the building nor the rib-stitching but in that part of rib-stitching that you are finding so difficult. It's funny because IT ISN'T IMPORTANT. And you would know that for yourself if you'll just back away from it for...

On the summer of 1983, an Israeli F-15 staged a mock dogfight with Skyhawks for training purposes, near Nahal Tzin in the Negev desert. During the exercise, one of the Skyhawks miscalculated and collided forcefully with the F-15's wing root. The F-15's pilot was aware that the wing had been...

Yes, my flipping back still hurts!!! But I hiked around the patio and chased Tomato Worms and scratched the cats and stole my wife's Vegetables Only knife to spread butter on my toast because I was making poached eggs and the needle was creeping towar 40 on the big clock and I didn't have anything...

A few years ago an L39 Albatros crashed at Frederick airport MD. Anyone have more info on this? I met an owner of an L39 based at FDK while out flying over there. I'm wondering if it is the same guy. Monk

Department stores like Penney's, Macy's, etc. tend to get in small tool kits for sale as gifts at Christmas. After Christmas, these go on sale for half-price or less. Now, the tool quality of these kits is generally very low. However, one item they often sell is a small battery-powered...

Is your airplane fitted with pneumatic wheels? The odds are, it is. That means you probably have tools in your kit that allow you to remove the wheel, remove the tire & tube from the rim, to re-install them, inflate the wheel and so forth. Indeed, if you're a serious airman you give your the same...

To All: There are times when you need to put something together fast, often while HOLDING the parts in positionby HAND, such as when you are making a jig or fixture. Many times the fixture is made of whatever wood you happened to have available.... 'good' scrape, if you know what I mean. But...

Those of you familiar with my Blog have probably read the several articles therein about survival. And yes, I've poked a bit of fun at those who think survival can be measured by the size of your knife. But an on-going thread, bounced around amongst a few of use keeps coming back to the little...

24 hours in a day. 365 days in a year. That's 8,760 hours in a year. How many hours did you fly last year? Unless you're in the business, patrolling a pipe-line or whatever, you're lucky if you did a hundred hours. Back when I had a girl friend going to Aridzona State and I was playing Sailor...

Although television was invented in the 1920's it didn't really catch on until after WW II. I was about 12 when my family bought our first TV set. We quickly came to the same conclusion reached by Newton N. Minow about ten years later: that TV was a vast wasteland. My little brother was the...

I just heard Richard Riley passed away on Thursday, Nov 20. No other details. Anyone have information on this? Like maybe...it ain't true? - Barnyard BOb -

This may sound like a stupid question; I realize the prop can only turn at a certain speed to avoid transonic effects at the tips and has to be turned with a certain torque to transmit the power needed/ produce enough thrust. So far so good. But why does the torque have to be produced by the...

I've been approached by a friend who's interested in buying a 10% share of an experimental I (will) own. He'd split hangar/insurance and pay a higher hourly rate than I. An LLC will be established. Is this legit?

With the looks of a rocket, and speed ranges between 225mph tops and 55mph to land, Im thinking this is the plane I want. Going cross country on mpgs better than my truck and in triple time. They say its a trainer too with a first class view. But I'm still not sure what the drive out price is. The...
