Interesting biplane project... look at the wing profile by
Bob Kuykendall
On eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260325125475
Item number 260325125475 if that URL doesn't work for you.
The thing I'm curious about is the wing profile. Sections like that
seem to work for the F-117 stealth fighter. But it seems a bit out of
place on this...

alternate engine in Falco by
Jonny[_2_]
There are many aircraft that allow for a variety of engines. Some
engine makers even supply cowling/nose bowl kits for popular types
(Rans, Vans) etc.
So, what do you think of using a Jabiru 5100 (8 cyl) in a Falco in
place of the Lycoming io-360?
Jabiru is narrower and less tall, but is a few...

Resin INfusion: Better than Vacuum Bagging by

Hi everyone,
I posted a while back mentioning the resin infusion process that I am using
to build my catamaran sailboat. It seemed like there was a fair amount of
cross post interest here in this news group, so I am posting to say that I a

Harley oil cooler for interior heat. by
[email protected]
I don't have heat inside my canard plane. Now am considering piping
hot engine oil to the cabin through a small oil cooler with a blower.
I am looking at a Harley Dyna oil cooler - about the right size. My
question is whether such a cooler will stand the typical aircraft oil
pressure. My engine oil...

Rate of climb by
Dillon Pyron
The newest "tallest building" is the Taipei 101, at over 1650 ft.
What is truly amazing are the elevators, which ascend at a rate of
over 3300 ft/min. As my wife pointed out, "my poor eardrums". Can
you get an embolism at that rate? (I'm a diver, getting a bubble is a
major issue).

What Others Are Saying About Aircraft Spruce by
jls
Just a sampling. There's volumes more in Google, enough to make a stout
hog retch:
Amen to HBW's comments. I've had the same problems with Spruce;
screwed up orders and no one who gives a damn. The fact that they got
so big so quickly is not an excuse for ****ty service. Unfortunately,

Aircraft Spruce and their comma delimited order form by
Michael Horowitz
Spruce gives the option of my providing quantity and partno. in
comma delimited format when ordering.
When ordering tubing, "2,03-02400-5" correctly translates into two 5'
lengths of 03-02400.
However, the same logic doesn't seem to translate for spar stock:
02-123-8 didn't translate into an...
