KitPlanes - Home Page by Ron Wanttaja by
RobertR237
Hey Ron,
Ok, now that I am infamous, where are the riches you promised.
Just got my September issue of KitPlanes and saw the story on Building a Home
Page. Great article and I was pleased to see my Web Page in the composite shot
at the beginning of the article. I was really surprised to see a...

Another AirBus-320 question by
pintlar
I have seen reported that the AirBus-320 has a glide ratio of 1:15.
That was what our pilots told us the wings on Cessna 180-182 (L-19)'s glide
ratio was.
It does not seem consistent that a swept, thin airfoil, wing would have the
same glide ratio as the Cessna.
It is correct the AB-320 has a...

Torsional Vibration and PSRU Design by
Gordon Arnaut
I hope ADK, who posted a question a few days ago on an interesting design
problem involving reduction gearing and a driveshaft got some insight from
the various postings.
The subject of torsional vibration quickly cam up and there was a lot of
stuff mentioned, but not really a simple and...

Objective Engine Discussion by
Rick Maddy
I wish to begin gathering UNEMOTIONAL, tangible pros and cons on
engine choices for my Cozy Mk IV. I won't be ready to begin working on
my firewall for about 12 more months.
As I see it today I have the following engine choices:
Lycoming 360 or XP-360
Mazda 13B or Renesis
Jabiru 5100
Subaru ???

Yo! Fuel Tank! by
Veeduber
Riveted aluminum fuel tanks are smart. They're easy to build and superbly
practical for the homebuilder since she can make them in whatever shape she
needs.
Most folks shy away from this fabrication technique due to the high cost of
Pro-Seal, still listed at more than $8/oz in the Aircraft Spruce...

Propeller or jet to push an in-line skater? by
John Doe[_4_]
How far-fetched is the idea, to use a propeller or jet engine
(radio controlled type?) to push an in-line skater? How does
aircraft takeoff thrust compare to using a conventional motor and
wheel to push oneself along the ground? What sort of incline would
be achievable at say a skater weight of...

Fuel dump switch in homebuilt by
Jay
After reading some of the transcripts from the "Last Words" website,
where the flight engineers were dumping fuel when it became evident
that an emergecy landing was a certainty, it dawned on me that there
might be some benefit for a small plane as well. The less energy you
carry into a crash...

Tiny vacuum pump by
Jim Weir
Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order
of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably
110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary.
The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...

Slats and Fowler Flaps On Light Plane by
Brock
I feel there is a real advantage to the use of slats and flaps in
order to have things happen slowly during landing and yet still have a
good cruise speed. Of course the problem is in the complexity and the
extra weight. For rails I was thinking about something like standard
kitchen drawer rails or...
