In my effort to learn/remember/practice correct building procedures,I monitor several wood aircraft design sights. In the emerauders group,much discussion about using a wingspar that was built and purchased by another builder. The Emeraud spar consists of 2 laminated built ip beams,w ply...

Something about the thread, regarding transmitting power from one radio being funnelled into the other radio made me take pause. In the Houston area (and I'm sure most other major cities) there is an antenna farm that has a collection of FM, AM and TV broadcast antennae. I would estimate there are...

My Lyc. O320-D2C idles rough on the right mag, with the #3 cyl showing an EGT drop. The roughness clears up above 1200 RPM or so, still on one mag. It's also noticably smoother on just the left mag, and everything's smooth on both mags. In flight #3 CHT runs 50 degF hotter than the rest, as well...

This one really has me bothered: 1999 NWEAA Arlington Fly-in, pilot in RV-6 rushes departure at high angle of attack, crashes, dies in the ensuing fire. His survivors sue EAA and NWEAA claiming the fire crews didn't get there soon enough. The stated claims don't even agree with the NTSB...

William Wynne and his talented team helped me achieve a successful breakin on my '65, 100hp "Airvair". His manual was my bible and other than one slightly misadjusted valve, a couple of initial oil leaks and a balky carb, things went well. Whatever tools, etc that I had forgotten to bring were...

Hi, As an 8-year (or longer) Kitplanes subscriber, and longtime electronics tech (Army Aviation-trained), I read with interest the articles Jim Weir wrote about building your own RG battery charger (Kitplanes: March, April, & May 2004). This looks just like the ticket for my application, but I did...

I googled, but there's not much infor. about converting the turbine in the microturbine generator for aircraft use. So I am tossing my idea here. The Capstone's microturbine generator looks very neat. The generator has 60kw output, and the turbine itself should have higher output, enough for a...

Hi Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...
