Howdy, I have gull wing doors on my homebuilt and need a source for multipoint door latches. I have already seen the ones made by Hendricks (also offered at Spruce) but I'm not keen on spending $500 on door latches. There have to be alternatives and I'm hoping someone has already solved my...

For what it's worth I did a Google search on our friendly MI5twit and it seems he is a well know delusional paranoid and the British government agency he is screaming about doesn't give a rats ass about him and odds are would like him to shut up as much as we do. I skimmed over a couple of his...

Anyone have a set of Aeroquip Mandrils for 491 fittings that they don't need anymore?

While browsing a bit more of that "good 'ole internet wizdom", I ran accross this page: http://www.ihpva.org/com/PracticalInnovations/materials.html Its a human-powered vehicle website, but on this page, the author seems to think that 4130 cro-mo steel can't be welded with an oxy- acetylene...

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...

I would like to be able to transport a small, motorized bike in or under my traildragger. It sits high . . . tundra tires (on the plane . . . not the bike). Has anyone seen some sort of arrangement for slinging some sort of small two-wheeler underneath. It's too heavy (and bulky) for me to...

I'm thinking about using an electric diesel fuel pump to pressurize my 0320 with engine oil to pre-lube before starting. Have any of you tried that? The accumulator method is heavier than I want to use.

Hi, did a lot of research and thinking about my engine cooling/cowling lately. It's a conventional VW-Dub powered pusher. There's quite a lot of space below the engine an very few on top. I want to do a tightly cowled engine (only the heads and barrels enclosed, not the complete engine under...

Take a look at this: http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/12/19/stanford.nanowire.battery/ OK, it's just a laboratory development and needs to work it's way through all the R&D to become an actual product. But, an order of magnetude improvement? WOW! Of course, as many 'negative experts'...

Yea -- my point was that this is ALMOST a good idea. But not quite. Lotsa those! Much better to just use a normal V6 or V8 and a PSRU. Many such that have gone 2000+ hours. As for weight and CG, I'd use the V6 STOL as an example. This is a set of plans done in the '60's by a guy named Blanton....
