Anybody have any experience with Unison's Autolite spark plugs? Ed Sullivan, Old and Poor

I am flying my new RWS redrive! I have more vibration than I had before. The new prop of my own manufacture balance is suspect. Does anyone know who might have the equipment to balance the prop while on the airplane in or near Florida? George Graham RX-7 Powered Graham-EZ, N4449E

Jim, I had emailed you late last year inquiring about upgrades to your audio panel product. I think you indicated that you were working on a new version? If that is the case, do you expect it to be available any time soon? I think there might be a market for a scaled down version of an...

I just received via UPS a very nice used RC Allen electric dirctional gyro. (RCA 15 AK-1). However, packing seemed insufficient to adequately protect it from "G" shock enroute. It seems to power up and run O.K. Does that mean that there is likely no damage? Or is it still possible that damage...

Does anyone know if the Starfighters F-104 airshow team is still flying? I heard Delashaw was killed in a Hawker Hunter, but am not sure if anyone else is flying the '104 in his place. It was neat to see that show, but it's obvious the plane is a poor airshow performer. They spent most of the time...

Dear Jim: In your June 2002 Kitplanes article on soldering BNC connectors, I came to a dead end at step 7. The clamp isn't mentioned until step 7. I don't understand how to wrap the braid around and over the clamp--which apparently goes on after soldering the pin to the center conductor and...

Thanks to the 300+ of you all that put your ink signature on the line and nominated me for the EAA Board of Directors. I'm on the ballot. Here's the reality. There will be 300 to 500 members at the meeting on the Saturday of Oshkosh week to elect the new directors. The EAA holds some 35,000...

I'm headed for Oshkosh this year myself. Everytime I do Sun 'n fun, it's so close to Oshkosh, I never feel like going up there so soon after SNF. So this year, I skipped SNF and am all set for OSH. Better fly-in anyway. I've also noticed the SNF organazation and EAA starting to distance themselves...

I just had my cylinders overhauled and now have 2 hrs on the engine. I have been getting some mixed information about the proper break-in procedure. Run "rich" or "lean"?. I am running 40 weight mineral oil. Some say it is important to run hard and lean to prevent the walls from glazing others say...

I've picked up my torch for the first time in a few years and I have a problem. My glasses, whcih I've only started wearing recently, have a tendency to fog up when I've been welding for a few minutes and the heat starts building. Help!

What is your opinion on fly by wire systems on private planes, such as the Adam 500? Would you want a system with no mechanical connections to control surfaces? SeeYaa:) Harbin

CBS hit a new low tonight by having Moller and the skycar on 60 minutes tonight. I was getting into their show on personal flight until they brought on moller. Tony

I noticed that SNF cancelled the Sun 100 and Sun 60 races this year. Anyone know why? I'm not sure if it was due to a lack of interest or lack of entries. Or maybe some insurance snafu.

If anyone is back or has the laptop with them, how about some news. I decided not to go this year, and do Oshkosh instead. Can't afford both. I can't find any online news reporting daily activiities. The Southern Aviator Sun 'n Fun edition isn't posted online, so all the editors must be at the...

My altimeter "stuck" this afternoon when I was returning to my home field from SnF. It seemed to work fine until the last 5 minutes of the trip - the altitudes looked right, but as I descended towards pattern altitude, my eyes told me that I was lower than the altimeter showed, so I tapped...

I am building an Smith Aviation Tundra Boss, (a experimental stretched tri-pacer derivative) for use in Alaska's back country. It will have a Beech 215 84" prop on it. My question concerns installing a pre-oiling system. I was thinking the oil pressure fitting on the left crankcase might be a...

I would like to get the tentative word out about starting up a new event in the Houston area. I have noticed over the past years that local EAA chapters or flying clubs will host regular "pancake flyin's" or similar event. EAA Chapter 12 in Houston relocated itself to Ellington Field in the past...

Well, to be technical about it was a picture I cut out of a magazine and folded into a paper airplane. It flew rather nicelly. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Hello all, Short of looking through the docs of all the possible GPS' out there I am hoping I can get a general, if not, specific answer to the following. Do any of the handheld aviation GPS' have the capability to display location in UTM, MGRS, and different datums such as NAD 27 or WGS84? I...
