In the latest AOPA magazine there is an article on one of the latest Diamond aircraft which is equipped with dual Garmin G1000's. I was really impressed in many ways by the units. Compared to a normal AI, the things are HUGE, they're something like 10.5 inches diagonally. It's like looking at...

Hi all. I'm looking for some suggestions on some plans. No kits though, I want to scratch build something. I want a 2 seater so I can bring up nephews and nieces. I would prefer a biplane or hi-wing and something low and slow. Most of my flying will be local with occasional trips between LA and...

All you EZ/Cozy builders what do you put under the nose to protect the fuselage when it is down? Extra thick paint? ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul Lee, SQ2000 canard project http://www.abri.com/sq2000

Sorry about this - I just had to get it out. Yesterday was the first meaningful snow we have had in the Puget Sound area for quite a few years. Kids have grown up without knowing for whatinthehell a sled was used. Lord, did it come down! Large chunks of the working class stayed home to avoid...

Friends, Aviators, Airplane Tinkerers... many of the treasures and parts I have been viciously hoarding in my hangar for some future project, are now listed on ebay for auction. So far there have been several bids and I may just be able to afford my hangar rent! To find the items I have listed...

I'm sure I've trimmed this post wrong, so sorry if that's the case. I have to copy it from another newsserver since I can't see it here.) Dr No (name) a.k.a. said: Like I said before, Bill, you're leaving too many clues that Pac is you. I'd suggest dropping him and starting over. Pac...

Doing a little work on old Cessnas for fun these days and have to tell you I don't like Phillips head screws. The slightest corrosion and they stick and freeze. Then your Snap-On screwdriver (make sure it fits) wallows the head out, as you grunt and cuss. Then you have to pull out the old...

I know this is a bad place to bring up Dreamwings but has someone out there got a picture of their prototype they painted in a light grey to look like a shark ?? It was a nice job and a customer wants to do the same to his plane..... If anyone can send a picture to it would...

For those of you who want a cheap knockaround digital voltmeter (multimeter, actually) Harbor Freight has them for $2.99 apiece (part #30756). Shipping is $6 PER ORDER minimum, so I'd probably get together with the chapter and order a couple of dozen to spread the shipping costs around. The...

I have decided to use a set of Cessna 150 wheels on the Pegazair project. I am using the Cessna bolt on axles instead of the welded in Chrome Moly tube, and am having a bit of trouble figuring out one small detail.... The axle is considerably longer than the width og the wheel. I suspect I need a...

Who cares?

Hi group Have found the aircraft of my dreams. Has a decent cruise , short take off and landings and a dependable VW engine. Am looking for anyone that has any knowledge of the Cygnet (name means young swan) or is interested in the aircraft. TldrgrDan --

Hello, I am looking into modifying one of the canard designs like the COZY MkIV and wanted to know what the best way to ensure that what changes I am proposing are sound and will result in a craft that will exhibit similar flight charteristics but with increase in performance (range, gross weight,...

Folks - There is said to be a description of a DIY preheater on page 84 of the Oct '01 Kitplanes magazine. Local libraries do not have a collection of Kitplane magazines Could I impose upon someone to describe the article's contents? TIA - Mike

William Wynne and his talented team helped me achieve a successful breakin on my '65, 100hp "Airvair". His manual was my bible and other than one slightly misadjusted valve, a couple of initial oil leaks and a balky carb, things went well. Whatever tools, etc that I had forgotten to bring were...

Hello My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify. It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that 's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we just aren't sure.

I know this subject has been mentioned in the past, but I have researched everything I can. Does anyone know of a source for Finland Plywood birch 2ml 3 ply and 3 mil 5 ply. If I recall properly there was a location in Tacoma, WA that seemed to be a preferred location any insight would be...
