I have just started to assemble my wings on my all wood aircraft. There is a box spar in the front and a 3/4" thick spar in the back. Although this will no dought hold together, it only calls for 1 diagnal brace on each wing. I glued temperary diagnal braces on the inside to hold while I start to...

The Franklin engine I rebuilt came with an odd ball cast aluminum oil pan with a big shaft access hole in back. May have been a helicopter engine oil pan. I put a disc there and welded it shut (from outside). But the weld is dripping some oil especially when hot. I am planing to take out the oil...

I originally posted this in the metal working newsgroup, some folks there thought the part might be recobnized by somone here - so, it's worth a try - any clues? thanks: I think this is probably quite old, but so far I have no idea what it is (or was part of) - there is another like it that...

Is anybody on the list using the two cylinder (4-stroke) HKS 700E engine? It's about the perfect size for an upcoming project (Georgias Special) and I'm wondering about its reliability, toughness, etc. compared to say a 1/2 or full VW. The original Georgias used 28 HP, so a 1/2 VW would work and...
