PHOTOS: 17N - June 05, 2010 A couple interesting items, but not that many planes. I guess the weather "threat" kept some away. My highlights were the Porter and the Light Sport. Photos Link: http://phlairline.com/spotter/060510-17N.html

Welding on your head by Michael Horowitz
I've gotten pretty good with my OA welds; I spent the last three months practicing a splice by inner sleeve and am pleased that after much practice I can melt the three components together and get good penetration. On the bench. However, when I tried welding on the fuselage, it's an...

Quality of kitplane designs? by Oliver Arend
After reading http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/Zodiac.pdf I'm wondering how much trouble is hidden in other kitplane designs? Obviously, the RV fleet seems to be rather untroubled, but the others? How much design work is really going into kit planes? Or is...

Bidding on a Lathe by brian whatcott
A lathe is one of those things a homebuilder might want, but like me, be reluctant to pay for, new. So when I spotted a Southbend listed on a Texas School District Surplus Auction on friday, I asked the auctioneer to bid on my behalf to $222 sight unseen. At 150 miles distance, it was too far to...

Jabiru 80 HP Experience, Anyone? by Orval Fairbairn[_2_]
A group of us are building a Pulsar and expect to license it in exp-LSA and are seriously considering the 80 horse Jabiru as a powerplant. The engine, and FWF kit are less than the Rotax, without having a gearbox to complicate things. Who out there has experience with this...

Just curious: can the private pilot exam be taken in a canard? by es330td
I was reading the FAQ for experimental aircraft today and noticed that one question dealt with training and testing in experimental aircraft. One portion of the test deals with stalls and since canard don't stall like normal aircraft, when I read this I wondered if the test could even be...

Older Jab - thoughts by Paul Folbrecht
How would you react to a Jabiru 2200 with these characteristics: - Build in 95 (sn #60) - 125h TT - NEW cylinders & pistons in 2004 (larger fins) - NEW conrods in 2008, including replacement of all seals & gaskets in the low end Such an engine is past the time-based TBO. Is it equivalent...
