I've watched it, but just can't seem to get interested in it. I'm I alone, or is it mainly targeted for the non-pilot types? I enjoy the races at Reno, but the Red Bull thing just seems boring. I'm surprised they still do it.

Oyster just sent me this URL... it's a link to several pics of BWB, about 4 meg's worth. They show the Badwater Bill side of William Grant Phillips... his love for kids, airplanes, a nice looking butt, and how Billy could make any event or happening even better simply by being there... Bill...

http://www.youngeagles.org/photos/gallery/Monoplanes/LancairLegacy2000.jpg Look at the picture. It's easy to see why the Lancair is dangerous. The horizontal stabilizers appear to be on the too small side. This would result in their stalling before the wing. Then the aircraft would pitch up...

To All: Try this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW7NpsHR3K0 A friend dropped by, insisted on escorting me on my Daily Trek. I swear to God, if it weren't for these guys I'd probably just roll over and go back to sleep. But everyone sez I gotta walk so I haul my sorry ass out of the...

My local Civil Air Patrol has a test Pointer ELT (set on a different freq) and would like your used batteries. The batteries are the Pointer 2020 batteries and fit both the 3000 and 4000 series ELT's. If you have your old out of date ones please contact me via...

So tere I am, my usual lovable self, ****ing & moaning about all these HOT projects that I've been ****ing & moaning about for the last couple of years, NOW using a simple case of cancer as my excuse for not getting anything done... and one of my regular cage-rattlers sez: 'So what ARE these hot...

I recent relocated to San Diego. 2 days after arrival, my truck was stolen with all my A&P tools in my bed mounted tool box. Should anyone in the area notice some unlikely people peddling Time-Rite, leakdown testers, air drills, riveting stuff I'd love to hear about it. Cops could care less. My...

some interesting points came out of one guy's query re servicing some old brake master cylinders. gringomasloco commented regarding broken brake lines spraying brake fluid over hot calipers and setting the wheels on fire. hmmmmm. I am talking about light private aircraft here... as I put it in...

Every once in a while I check the Roadable Times web site to see what new concepts people are dreaming up. The web site owner seems to have done a good job of tracking down the latest news on real and proposed roadable aircraft. But I'm not sure how long it will last in its current form,...

I thought I remembered reading in the November Pacific Flyer that there was to be an Aviation Swap Meet in San Diego during November. However I have misplaced my copy of Pacific Flyer. Does this ring a bell with anyone. I'd sure appreciate know the date and place if so. Thanks much Paul

Have they tried dimples on radio controlled aircraft? The size and speed could designed around the magic Reynolds number = 100,000 where the coefficient of drag drops precipitously. Dimpling could vastly extent the range of large and slow as well as small and fast radio controlled aircraft. A...

I'm working with 4130. I have a piece of tubing with a series of rust holes which do not cover an area greater than 1/2 ", so it appears a welded patch repair would be appropriate. Reading 43.13,, Figure 4-36, it appears the patch tube will have to be expanded in diameter in order to fit over the...

With reference to sandblasting, what is garnet? - Mike

I'm looking seriously at a project that was covered in Ceconite and finished with the AFS /Stewart system. The topcoat was brushed on, with less-than-lovely results. (I feel compelled to name the plane "The Brush Stroke") It was signed off as airworthy, but I'm wondering whether re-finishing (as...

Hi guys. Thanks for the boost. It is 2200 (that's ten p.m. for you civilians) and I've been home since about 1400. But I can't tell you if the surgery was a success or not. I didn't see the physician after the procedure was done and they used a general instead of a local, so I didn't get to...

Is this post making it through? Having some problems with the program I use to access RAH.

Yes, I've got it. No, you can't have it. You have to grow your own. You don't catch cancer. It's not a head-cold or a case of clap. I've been working on mine for more than five years now. It's called Multiple Myeloma and it has lead me a merry chase, partly because the first symptoms appeared as a...
