Where is the best location to mount a knock detector on a 4 cyl Continental---(4each,O-470 jugs--314CID )

I am having some trouble finding the rules. I have a friend that is ready for the DAR. When discussing the flight test area, my friend was trying to include some local airports if possible. The DAR responded that he would not be able to land there in phase 1. While I have seen that this type of...

No - not Tony Blair. I am talking about Eric Arthur Blair, who wrote under the name of George Orwell. He was a "Redcap" - a military policeman - in India. He was apalled at the maltreatment of the Indian people. Clearly, he had noticed that there were "Brothers" amongst the British "authorities"...

Marchetti Sportster... .. . . Are there any tricks to bleed the brakes on this homebuilt? Four master cylinders, one on each pedal, running to two 'T's, where a single tube continues to each wing. Thinking of using a vacumn pump, to pull the fluid down to the caliper. Also, can anyone...

I was watching a Nat Geo show on the Horton flying wing. Have there been any experiment flying wings built? I found this: http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/66267/detail/ Karl

Keys to flying in ground effect: -want sensitive control so can react quickly to "squirelyness" -large stabilizer (perhaps a stabilator) and longish tail boom -optimized control surfaces for good control at low speed -best to fly only in low wind -long tow rope to avoid turbulence of or crashing...

I have some slightly used aircraft parts; i.e. Airmaster hub, rotary engines, etc. I'm sure there's an opinion or two out there on where's the best place to list these items for homebuilders to find them. Ebay is obvious, but doesn't really cater to this audience. Other suggestions?

This is so embarrassing, I must just be getting old; I can't remember if the generator in my '61 C-172 is an A or B circuit. Worse, I forget which one is which. Does the 'A' supply controlled voltage to the field and the 'B' does a controlled "ground out" of voltage coming from the field or do I...

I saw this posted a while ago. He used software from Bates Engineering. You can follow the link. I enjoyed reading it. http://k0lee.com/propfab.html "fede" wrote in message ... Hello, All!

Has anyone got an appreciation of the RAC (formerly Menzimer Aircraft Corporation) stick grips? I am particularely interested in the multiple switch model. Don't know which one that is, but there's a lot of very bad human factors that goes into stick grips with lots of switches. Attributes...

For several days we have enjoyed having a delightful couple (flying a beautiful -- and gigantic -- old Luscombe, all the way from the D.C. area!) stay with us who are on their way to the antique aircraft fly-in, held at Blakesburg, IA each year. Despite our owning poor old (but not old...

The used ones are $500 - $700 & a new one $1125. I lost my job & would like to keep the costs as low as possible. If I bought a used one would I be spending more money repairing it in the future? If I spent more money for the new one is it any more reliable that a refurbished...

I'm looking at one here and wonder if it's not been caused by shimmying. I just overhauled the shimmy dampener, which was dead. Thanks.

I've read here that it's hard to get a blanket 'one size fits all' solution to adapting military helmets to civilian radios. I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with 'Flight Suits' (www.flightsuits.com) answering their questions about what I have and what I wanted to do with it. A small box of...

I need a copy of Jim Weir's Aero 'Lectrics article "Make the Worlds Cheapest Intercom." An electronic copy would be best, but a paper copy will work too. I could send a SASE, stamps, etc. Thanks! David Ridding

From memory, the differences were slight. The wing airfoil was different. The W-10 has a curve on the bottom where the W-8 was flat. I understand that there were 2 or 3 inches of extra width in the fuselage. Also, the W-10 was stressed for larger (Lycoming) engines. I built the airframe for...
