Can someone ID this airplane? http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1093439/ No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID this plane. Thanks, Wil

I just found some more info on the RV6A that went down in Stanwood, Wa (30 mi north of seattle). The aircraft registration http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNumSQL.asp?NNumbertxt=154RM&cmndfind.x=15&cmndfind.y=12 Says the engine was an O-320 series. She told her husband just before the...

I'm wiring the electrical system in my Glasair 3, and would like to know how most builders wire the alternator. It seems every diagram I get from Bob Nuckolls shows the alternator supply wire (B) connecting to the input side of the starter contactor. But the wiring diagrams from B&C show the B wire...

I apologize, this is unrelated to aviation, but it is a question about a material some of you may be familiar with. I recently found this material in my lab, and for the life of me, I can not find out where it came from. It is perfect for a project I am currently working on, and I would love to...

In addition to covering the occasional airplane, fabric turns out to be rather handy stuff. It makes dandy sails, for example. And awnings. And camper shells(!) or glider trailers (!!). Or my favorite, Sand Box Lids :-) (Seriously! See bobhooversblog.blogspot.com ) -R.S.Hoover PS - The...

Is Homer still in the airplane business? Google found the NEW Kolb site, but it wasn't the old Kolb site by a bunch.

What do you get when you combine a Rolls Royce engine with parts from a TCM and Superior engine? In one case, a Sabrina O-200A: http://sabrina.aero/ Follow the link to the four YouTube videos for more of the story. Seems to be an impressive accomplishment for a 14 year old. My guess is that...

Measuring the torque of an engine is a trivial chore when the load is a propeller. So long as the engine is allowed to rotate around the axis of its crankshaft, the amount of torque it produces can be measured using nothing more complicated than a bucket of water. (Hint: 'A pint's a pound the...

Browsing controller.com I noticed that there is a category for homebuilt/experimental aircraft. My limited understanding of homebuilt aircraft is that it is an experimental plane, built for the pleasure/education of the builder. The builder of said plane, being the mfr, may work on it or an A&P...

Bob, I have been following the development of your HP-24 for the past seven years. I continue to be amazed at the amount of work that is involved in producing a composite aircraft kit. In addition, I have been amazed at your build skills and...

Anyone got a current copy in .pdf or .doc format that they'd be willing to share? Thanks, Harry

Hi to all, I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with keeping Franklin engines running? I'm curious about a couple of homebuilts on barnstormers that are for sale, and I see that some Maule's have them as well (which a friend of mine in interested in buying) and was curious if parts are...

I run a Motion LS800 for my EFB. I use a DC 12V to 19V power converter to power my LS800 since I have a 12V aircraft system. To minimize the number of wires, can I use a single wire to run +19V from the power converter to LS800 and connect the ground from power converter to LS800 thru the airfram...
