Crankshaft balance by
abripl
Its not much flying time around here in SD with temps averaging 0F.
I got my engine (Franklin 6) apart trying to cure a vibration problem
(0.4 IPS) - not extreme but anoying. Is it OK to balance the crank in a
automobile machine shop or are there some tricky things about aircraft
cranks? I know...

- Dec 16, 9:02 pm
hello Does anyone know the power and weight comparison between a rotax
583 vs. geo/metro engine . When I said geo/metro I'm not too up on them

'Pastor' Dave's Latest Occasionally Semi-Annual Christmas Poem
Dedicated to "He Who Would (Abysmally) Try to Write Poetry about Moi"
Shankland is a bit of a bum,
After retirement that's what he's become,
He used to fight fires,
but now he's a liar,

Attn: Jim Weir - 24v to 12v by
Jackal24
I have a car adapter that powers my pda and gps receiver. The adapter is
generic and has no information on it that says what the allowable input
voltages are. Is there an easy way to determine if it allows a 24/28v
input?
Also, is there an easy circuit to convert 24/28v to 12/14v for these...

Red Bull Air Race on NBC TV Saturday by
Montblack
I checked NBC's website. This was a (national) 1 hour long show - 2 pm in
the Twin Cities (CST). Yup, it's over now.
"World of Adventure Sports"
Segments include the Red Bull Air Race, an aerobatic flying competition.
I watched it for a half an hour. Good effort by the network.

Two years ago I replaced my aging Narco Com 120 with a TKM MX-11R slide in
replacement radio and thought I'd give a performance update.

Curtis quick drain by

Mine started leaking after 20 years of service, not a bad service life for
something that I can replace for less than $10 at aircraft Spruce, or $14
from Sacramento Sky ranch. But since it is brass and looks to be in great
shape, I would just like to replace it's rubber seal. I thought it was...

There was some postings about the EAA DVD on the 2005 Air Venture. The
postings have now apparently disappeared. Is there some censoring going on

Low voltage warning level by
markp
Hi All,
I'm looking for recommendations for a low battery warning voltage level. I
was going to use 12.8V - is this liable to be triggered by noise/dips in the
bus voltage? My guess is when heaters or motors kick in there could be a
momentary drop due to high current that could trigger my low...

Homebuilt kits by

Thinking of building. Have been looking around and not found the kind

the three, I'm looking a little harder at the two seaters from Vans
