Hey ya'll I'm interested in the wing center section tube size on the BD17, the wing spar tube size, and also on the BD-6 if anyone has that information.

I have a couple of Lawrance 5 cylinder mini radials. They were used as the APU electrical generator engine for the B-29 bomber, and perhaps for other ground power applications.

Wanting to use a nylon sleeve over a 1/8" elevator cable to avoid rubbing on another crossing in mid-fuselage, what do you think about the following methods of securing the sleeve/tube so it doesn't slip out of position: slip sleeve over RTV'd cable section; clamp sleeve ends with safety wire;...

In April of 2007 a Mr. Harvey Swack published a letter attacking the "scruples" of Jim Bede, allegedly because Jim Bede did not flight test the aircraft.
