Howdy, I've been thinking about how to run wires in an aluminum wing that is already finished. I can fish something through the holes in the ribs, but I don't want to just let a wire or cable lay on the raw edges of the rib holes. I think that the CPVC hot water tubing from Home Depot might make...

Hi all, I'm taking a break from the corporate world and want to make something. I'm looking for suggestions that could make your aviation life easier. Is there a electronic gadget or widget that would make your flying or airplane experience better?

I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and try my hand at gas welding aluminum. I have the TinMan's video. I have the flux. And I have lots of experience welding...steel. The one question I have is cleaning the flux. The video has the TinMan welding and then cleaning coupons with a damp rag. ...

I had to look up BWB's word "eutrophication" in the title of his well-written and fascinating narrative. As he used the word, it has to do with nutrients in the lakes sufficient to provide healthy ecosystems --- food like algae for organisms like protozoa, fish, and otters. Here in WNC where the...

I have an RST-564 Audio Panel to give away (all original manuals). Just recently upgraded to a fancier PMA4000 unit after some noise issues. I had the RST-564 working for 3 years. Tried to sell it on eBay with no takers so I'd rather give it away than trash it. Prefer somebody with decent...

Has anyone looked into the idea of converting the rover/buick ali block v8 into a diesel. It's something I have been thinking about for a while but wondered if someone has actually tried it. Thanks Smokeyone

RAH Gang, Just a reminder; the Southeastern Regional Fly-In is this weekend (Oct 3-4-5), Middleton Field, Evergreen, Alabama. Last time we had a weather forcast this good the turnout was huge. Plenty of camping on site (including aircraft camping), all close to the flight line area. Dan Horton

Probably permanently, SBC jacked the monthly up from $29 to $49, my usage is declining to almost zero. Tied to the house, can't be gone more than an hour at a time, and that's stretching it. If my daughters trach plugs, I've got a very short time to either clear it or get her to the hospital. No...

The president and chief instructor at a New Zealand microlight club were killed in a crash on the weekend. Apparently they took a flight at 3am, in the dark, in a thunderstorm, at a field with no lighting. Speculation is that alcohol was involved, but this seems to border on a suicide pact to...

Cancer is Bad Stuff. Cancer does not deserve a Good Fight nor going down with the ship whilst keeping our Spirits Up. Yet I've been urged to do all those things as if Cancer is an honorable opponent. It isn't. And that means it does not deserve being treated fairly. If the Cancer Man was...

Hi everybody! I am looking for a structural adhesive tape but I prefer a glue (because I do not want thickness) to bond aluminium (with passivation or anodization treatment) and steel. The bond have to resist to sea salt fog, and temperature between -100°C +100°C. I will appreciate any...

Hello, Has anyone seen any data/research showing the performance gains of filling the fiberglass weave of a composite aircraft such as a KR-2? For example, if a KR is built with a RAF-48 or NACA wing (non-laminar), if layups were done over a smooth substrate (smooth foam), and the weave of an...

I have a few foam gaps to fill. I can apply superfil early on and let it cure...or I can wait and apply while i am laying up with fiberglass skin (w/vacuum, etc.) . which is better?

My friend (and aircraft mechanic) Keith Roof has just about finished his Curtis P6E Hawk. Here is a short video I took of a taxi/engine test: http://alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2007-3-27-KeithRoofsP6EHawk.wmv (If that wraps funny, try this: http://tinyurl.com/ytuhym ) (If you're...

Hello everyone, Remember a while back that I was having problems with the incredibly long, tall, narrow, light trailer that I built to haul my Wright Brothers machine? If you have forgotten, that wonderfully practical (cheap) trailer had a tendancy to roll faster than a Pitts in a crosswind....
