What have folks found to be the cheapest engine to swing a prop for function and reliability testing? Needs about 100 hp at 2500rpm with maybe a little extra up to 2800rpm.

Although I asked the A&P to add a lifting point to my A-65 when it was in the shop, he didn't do it, so I plan on adding one myself. Assume the bolts are long enough to take the added thickness of the lifting point. Action will involve removing two bolts and retorqing them. But it's not simply...

Yesterday, while I was flying south from Sacramento to Harris Ranch, as I passed overhead an Modesto or Stockton airport (I wasn't lost, I just don't remember which one it was)..an aircraft took off and climbed rapidly to my level (5500 ft). From the top, as I passed over it, it looked like it...

Or a big propeller. Now that our conversion to an aviation theme-suites hotel is almost complete, we think it's time to make the *outside* of the place look more aviation-ish. (We've only changed the inside, thus far.) Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage...

I have a flightcom headset and the cord to the plugs has deteriorated, been patched over and over, so I took plugs off some time ago and used them some where else. Now someone has given me a cord with plugs and I need to know how to wire the mic plug. Out of the headset for the mic there are 3...
