Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on either shops that do fabric replacement & painting, or maybe a pointer to an A&P who is willing to work with me to recover and paint a Citabria in the eastern-MD/DE area. Shops in PA/VA will also be considered. Any pointers????? TIA,

If everyone in the U.S. will NOT buy gasoline on MAY 19 , Then we will hit the oil companies in the bottom line (Profit). It is estimated that this would cost them in the millions. I WON'T buy gas on May 19. Bob Olds RV-4 , N1191X Charleston,Arkansas

Here are two sites I was reading: www.metallicpower.com www.electric-fuel.com Both these companies are developing zinc-air fuel cells, which have 7 times the energy density of lead-acid batteries. Could this technology be practical for powering an electric airplane/helicopter/gyroplane?

Howdy, I'm about to buy a kit. I like the Zenith CH701 and the ICP Savannah. Both companies have been around for quite a long time, and both planes perform fairly similar except the CH701 climbs a little faster, and cruises a little slower. Differences that I have noticed besides the above...

I'm reposting this from the Aerocats YG: I'd like to pay a mark of respect to one of the group members, Scott Devlin of Camas WA, who perished in a mid-air collision earlier this week, near Olympia WA. Two Cessna aircraft were involved. Scott was the principal of Devlin Aviation. He left this...

The answer to the gasoline problem is as close as your nearest bus stop. Or bicycle. Or pair of walking shoes. Yeah, I know... none of that applies to YOU. You have all kinds of good & valid reasons to keep doing nothing at all. The truth is, the ultimate answer to ALL of our nation's ills is...

Howdy, I want to buy a kit plane, but I don't want to have the manufacturer fold in the time between payment and delivery. Is there any way to prevent the risk falling entirely on my shoulders? How about an escrow arrangement? Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks, tom pettit

to All: My tail stopped flapping yesterday. I don't know exactly when. When I checked it around nine a.m. it was flapping okay. I was in & out of the shop several times during the day I could hear the motor but I didn't look to see if it was still flapping. When I checked it about ten p.m....

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...

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...

To Any Homebuilders Still Out The If you've seen the recent sale brochure from Harbor Freight for 500 'regular' pop rivets for $2.49, you may have wondered what they were. (The brochure didn't say and the nice young lady on the phone didn't know.) They are dome-head ALUMINUM poppers with a...
