Hi All, I bought the above radio on Ebay for the ultralight that I am building. Anyway, I'm hoping that I didn't do anything dumb in choosing this older radio. I didn't receive any pin out information from the guy that sold it to me, and I'm assuming that he just plugged a newer set into the...

We're just a few weeks away from America's only fly-in pool party at our aviation themed hotel, the Alexis Park Inn & Suites! We're located right next to Rwy 25 in Iowa City, IA (KIOW). Here is your official invitation: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/iowa_city_pool_party.htm Heading to OSH from...

I will be doing the first flight and most of the flight test period on a friend's new Lancair 320. I would appreciate hearing from others that have done flight tests on this make and model airplane. I would also like to have copies of your flight test cards to review before I make up my own...

Hi gentlemen, subject says it all. Are there already any experiences with the new Jabiru 5100 engine? So far the only information I have found was the one on the Jabiru website. Bye Andreas

Where in the devil can I find sand paper long enough to use on my 4 foot long block sander? That and the adhesive for applying it. I've been resorting to using shorter pieces and self stick adhesive but I really don't like using 4 pieces of sandpaper. I have a small bottle of the "self stick"...

In my last post, I mentioned that I was curently off the airshow circut for a number of reasons. Greatest of which is the issue with the homebuilt trailer that formerly hauled my plane and equipment. Well, for those of you that havn't heard this before, here's the whole story. The trailer was...

I have recently acquired a Sea Rey equipped with the Rotax 912S engine. While familiarizing myself with the carburetor synchronization procedure, I noticed that the springs that open the throttle in the event of a throttle cable disconnect appear to be backwards. The documentation indicates that...

Anybody have any experience with these props? I just bought one today. After reading their website they look good, but what do you guys know, if anything? BWb

Hey, Jim, I've bought a Microair T2000 to replace the bum transponder in my Fly Baby. A couple of questions: 1. The instructions say not to install the antenna within one meter of the unit. What's the limiting factor here? I always prefer short cable runs, and had a nice spot picked out 15 or...

To All: For those of us who own a lathe and milling machine, somewhere in our past there is probably a tiny steam engine. Indeed, there's probably more than than one. A company in England provides the basic castings as a kit. As the machinist, you are expected to provide all else, from the...

Howdy, After reading a bit about the early Lockheed Vega, the Focker Albatross DIII and the Dehavilland Mosquito I was a bit suprised that plywood monocoque construction hasn't been used in any more modern airplanes. (Or at least none that I can think of) What gives? Is it cheaper to use glass...

(aside from blank messages :-) I use DeltaCAD, a simple 2D replacement for the traditional T-square and triangles, to make patterns for parts, from a 56" rib to itty-bitty things for home-made clocks, tiny steam engines and similar stuff. And I talk about it, too. If you hope to share...

Yes, I got results on the carbon fiber and I would have SWORN that I posted them to this site. Putting a GPS antenna UNDER a small bowl-shaped carbon fiber radome immediately killed any GPS signal into a 27 dB gain active antenna INCLUDING satellites that were directly overhead. Figuring that the...

Did anyone check out the Aerocat kitplane at Oshkosh? It's a 4-place amphibious twin with detachable floats. The company website is www.creativeflight.com I would love to see some pictures or hear your thoughts on what seems to be a remarkable design. I am not associated with them, but I...

Just letting you know about a yahoo group that is interested in using diesel. engines in Planes and Gyros. Some Planes already exist and are using diesel car engines. Like Dieselis/ Isuzu cast iron block going into production. Same engineer with a different plane using a 1.4ltr Citroen Jodel using...
