Glue removal - ceconite by Michael Horowitz
I'm in the process of removing the fabric covering (ceconite) from my wings and am now faced with the problem of glue removal from the leading/trailing edges and assorted ribs. MEK will disolve it, but with much patience. I find coating with MEK, letting it sit (unfortunately, it's evaporating...

Oshkosh questions by Andy Asberry[_2_]

Different aircraft design. by bizguy
I apologize if this is too far off topic as this is not a homebuilt for sure. Useful for education. It is interesting in the design and efficiency of operation. I am surprised that it has not made the commercial market place with our increasing fuel...

AV gas prices by Stuart & Kathryn Fields
Well it has happened. Local 100LL is $5.60/ gal and is not expected to decrease. Is there anyone out there using Supreme MoGas in a Lycoming 0320 with 8.5:1 compression? If so what ignition timing changes were needed if any? thanks Stu Fields

tube and fabric and outdoor storage by Robert Loer
Can not possibly afford a hanger and can not find a shelter so my plane will have to sit out. Is a fabric covered plane an absolute no-no? What can be done?

A Camcorder for Homebuilders by [email protected]
Samsung SC-MX10-XAA. Type that into Google, they'll show you a picture of it. But it is smaller than it looks -- it's about the size of a small Russet potato... about 5" long by 2.5" in diameter. Street price is about $180 (as of May 2008) If you're an accomplished videographer you'd never give...
