I am involved with an auto-engine conversion for the smaller version of the velocity... the SE/SUV planform... and was curious about any owners out there with ANY kind of engine and the performance that they are getting.. As in.. what HP gives them what speed at what altitude/temp/weight What hp...

I am installing a used Narco AT-150A transponder and have only acquired the pinout.. not an install manual.. (trust me.. if/when it goes, it will be replaced rather than repaired..) A brief/quick google search didn't bring up anything that indicated what size CB to use.. What size CB is...

I want to ask the group, particularly the avionics guys in the group, regarding installation of the King KX 175 and KY 195 radios. I have the applicable pinouts loaded to my EAA chapter's website http://www.eaa12.org/images/175-195outs.pdf for quick reference I am using Jim Weirs Audio...

This may be a silly question, but at the moment I am having a difficult time visualizing this in my head... Are the IVO prop blades able to be "reversed" with regards to direction of rotation (counter-clockwise to clockwise) and still provide thrust properly..? Dave

Paul Connor, a builder from Mobile, Alabama, was killed this weekend after a loss of power in his Rotary Engine powered SQ-2000 canard aircraft. Paul was as active participant in several online forums, but I must admit not this one. He had owned 7 airplanes over his 30 years of flying experience....

I would like to get the tentative word out about starting up a new event in the Houston area. I have noticed over the past years that local EAA chapters or flying clubs will host regular "pancake flyin's" or similar event. EAA Chapter 12 in Houston relocated itself to Ellington Field in the past...

The following is mail that I recieved as part of a mass-mailout from the organization of SWRFI. Given that this is a public announcement sent to the persons who have an interest in the organization or have corresponded with it, I am going to take the liberty of reposting it here and unedited...

The following is information I am repeating, but have no first hand experience with. I subscribe to several forums and lists that have discussed this from time to time in the context of Canard aircraft and auto conversion engines. One person who was running a Mazda rotary/wankel conversion in an...

I am involved with the building of a velocity, and questions are flying around about propeller choice. For in-flight adjustable, we are limited at this time to an electric control, such as MT or IVO. Cost is pushing our options in this area towards the IVO. I have heard of some vibration/resonance...

Ok.. I have a real problem with what you just described. An AC, by the FAA's own definition, is considered an ACCEPTABLE means of compliance, but not the ONLY means of compliance with the rule. So if the AC says its acceptable, then there is no basis for it to be rejected solely on those...

Ok.. I made it to Osh 2002, and missed Osh 2003. I am not CERTAIN but isnt this the first year in a long time that Basler is not the sole FBO on field, or was Orion there last year too? I will be missing this years OSH as well, but the point of all this is I just got my red prop tag in the mail...

Something about the thread, regarding transmitting power from one radio being funnelled into the other radio made me take pause. In the Houston area (and I'm sure most other major cities) there is an antenna farm that has a collection of FM, AM and TV broadcast antennae. I would estimate there are...

Ok.. question for those out there with some hands on experience with the IVO Magnum series electric inflight-adjustable props. What has been your experience with this product.. Any pro's or cons based on your experience... Has the product met your expectations... Where I am coming from: working...

I made a day trip out to the SouthWest Regional Flyin held this weekend in New Braunsfels KBAZ, Texas and thought I would share a little of what I found. Of course, once you have attended Oshkosk/Airventure, nothing will compare or measure up... but overall it was an enjoyable trip. I have to...

Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where they show the process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm confused on how a spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the foam itself would provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem like you'd...

This may be only slightly off topic, but I'm building a foam core solid wing for an iceboat/land yacht. I'm familiar with R/C model airplane foam core wings, but I'm not sure how to scale that up for what I'm doing. Here are the specs: 49 square feet pluggable sections (one 10 foot section, and...
