I'm getting closer to the point where I will be working on the panel of my 601XL and I need to ask you a question. I have little to know electronics experience. Of course I'd never had any metal working experience and I think I'm doing a pretty good job on my plane. So the question is how much...

Soo.... is there like a (nazi)'moderator' that deletes posts if he simply doesn't like them? I posted my idea of a dream airplane twice and it was (apparently) deleted each time. It would seem a shame if we don't have open discussion as long as it's on-topic. what is this Iran? I was refering to...

I recently did a flight test of my Lancair 235 testing TAS, true air speed, vs. the reflex angle of the flaps, i.e. angle of the flaps above the wing surface. The test was flown at 1535 lb, 11,000' density altitude, full-throttle, leaned for max rpm. +8 deg. - 196.2mph; +6 deg. - 199.7mph; +4 deg....

I have an experimental Bushcaddy with a Lyc O-235. I also have the standard ACS nosebowl for a lyc: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/mc3a.php My exhaust is a slightly modified Powerflow system. I have just discovered I can't use my nosebowl because it is too rounded on the bottom. ...

The Sport Pilot regs say that a Private Pilot acting as a Sport Pilot must have a current Bi-annual flight review, but I cannot find anything in the Sport Pilot regs. that states that a Sport Pilot must have a flight review of any kind after he/she gets the initial license. If that is the case,...

Hi, I am looking for instructor that has experience in Glasair I RG type planes...... I had 10 hours of instruction in my Glasair I RG but I am still having trouble flaring the plane properly over the runway where I would chop the power just a foot above which cause it to sink and jolt the plane....

I have a Zenith CH-300 with a Lyc 0-320. It has an engine mounted fuel pump, and an electric aux pump. I also have a fuel pressure gauge, and a low fuel pressure warning light. Today, for the first time, when I did my pre-flight run-up, the low fuel pressure light came on. When I looked at the fuel...

I see the history channel is rerunning that series. Here on the West coast it is scheduled to start at 8PM tonight.

Any news if the 701 will have its` weight increased from 1100lb to 1200lb for the new Sports Plane Cat. Thanks Tony

The FAA has published a NPRM that if it becomes a rule will radically change the way charity fund-raising flights are done and put most vintage plane ride operations out of business. This has been brought up on this group before but the deadline for comments is looming. The comment period is open...

Would like to hear from anyone who has a pair of 500 x 5 wheels tires and brakes for sale for use on a single seat aircraft. Prefer the set is complete. If you have a set of these for sale or you know some one who does, please reply with condition and asking price. If we come to an agreement I...

The Aero-Vee engines seem to be working out okay, but since they weigh at least 160lbs, they might seem a bit heavy for the thrust produced. They supposedly make 80hp at 3400 rpm. It matters little how much HP they make, what matters is how much thrust is applied to the aircraft. You could have...

To All: A fellow homebuilder spotted a female air-hose quick-connect fitting on a fuel I'd just finished sloshing (riveted aluminum tank) and told me he hadn't bothered to pressure-test his tank since it was gravity feed and he figured just filling it up was enough of a test. He went on to say...

They don't respond to e-mail, the website hasn't been updated in ages. Are they still in business? I was hoping to get a tour when I'm in the Dallas area in April but I haven't gotten any response. -- How Dubya stole the election: http://www.ericblumrich.com/gta.html

I seem to recall a relatively simple smoke system that used a propane torch bottle to hold the smoke oil and I believe it was pressurized with air to eliminate the need for a pump. I realize it would only be good for short bursts, but that is exactly the application I need. Any reference to...
