Rib Stitching: Ho Ho Ho :-) by
[email protected]
To A Few:
Yes, I think what you're doing is funny, as in worth a laugh. Not in
the building nor the rib-stitching but in that part of rib-stitching
that you are finding so difficult.
It's funny because IT ISN'T IMPORTANT. And you would know that for
yourself if you'll just back away from it for...

on a wing and a prayer by
Mark
On the summer of 1983, an Israeli F-15 staged a mock dogfight with
Skyhawks for training purposes, near Nahal Tzin in the Negev desert.
During the exercise, one of the Skyhawks miscalculated and collided
forcefully with the F-15's wing root. The F-15's pilot was aware that
the wing had been...

Good Post-Christmas Sunday Morning to all by
[email protected]
Yes, my flipping back still hurts!!!
But I hiked around the patio and chased Tomato Worms and scratched the
cats and stole my wife's Vegetables Only knife to spread butter on my
toast because I was making poached eggs and the needle was creeping
towar 40 on the big clock and I didn't have anything...

L39 Albatros by
Monk
A few years ago an L39 Albatros crashed at Frederick airport MD.
Anyone have more info on this?
I met an owner of an L39 based at FDK while out flying over there.
I'm wondering if it is the same guy.

A Post-Christmas Shopping Hint by
Ron Wanttaja
Department stores like Penney's, Macy's, etc. tend to get in small tool
kits for sale as gifts at Christmas. After Christmas, these go on sale
for half-price or less.
Now, the tool quality of these kits is generally very low. However, one
item they often sell is a small battery-powered...

Propeller Balancing by
[email protected]
Is your airplane fitted with pneumatic wheels? The odds are, it is.
That means you probably have tools in your kit that allow you to
remove the wheel, remove the tire & tube from the rim, to re-install
them, inflate the wheel and so forth. Indeed, if you're a serious
airman you give your the same...

Quick-cure Epoxy by
[email protected]
To All:
There are times when you need to put something together fast, often
while HOLDING the parts in positionby HAND, such as when you are
making a jig or fixture. Many times the fixture is made of whatever
wood you happened to have available.... 'good' scrape, if you know
what I mean. But...

Survival Rifle by
[email protected]
Those of you familiar with my Blog have probably read the several
articles therein about survival. And yes, I've poked a bit of fun at
those who think survival can be measured by the size of your knife.
But an on-going thread, bounced around amongst a few of use keeps
coming back to the little...

Air Plane or Parked Plane by
[email protected]
24 hours in a day. 365 days in a year. That's 8,760 hours in a
year.
How many hours did you fly last year?
Unless you're in the business, patrolling a pipe-line or whatever,
you're lucky if you did a hundred hours.
Back when I had a girl friend going to Aridzona State and I was
playing Sailor...

Television by
[email protected]
Although television was invented in the 1920's it didn't really catch
on until after WW II. I was about 12 when my family bought our first
TV set. We quickly came to the same conclusion reached by Newton N.
Minow about ten years later: that TV was a vast wasteland. My little
brother was the...

Why are low-revving, high torque engines preferred? by
Oliver Arend
This may sound like a stupid question; I realize the prop can only
turn at a certain speed to avoid transonic effects at the tips and has
to be turned with a certain torque to transmit the power needed/
produce enough thrust. So far so good.
But why does the torque have to be produced by the...

Experimental partial ownership by
[email protected]
I've been approached by a friend who's interested in buying a 10%
share of an experimental I (will) own. He'd split hangar/insurance
and pay a higher hourly rate than I. An LLC will be established.
Is this legit?
