Does anyone think it's strange... by Badwater Bill

Foil antenna and carbon fiber by BD5ER
My Internet search didn't turn up what I was looking for so I came here for advice. The task at hand is the installation of a foil antenna in a composite canard which would ordinarily be a rather routine task for the plane - a Quickie - but in this case there are some carbon fiber rods at 25% chord...

I was wondering by Badwater Bill
I was wondering what the hell was going on here. I guess Osh is on eh? That's why the normal noise factor is way down. I try to wind you pricks up a bit and I get a couple lame follow-ups. ****, this is no fun. When is Osh over? I need controversy. I need conflict. How long do we have to...

Tanks for nothing (repost from Bearhawk list) by Del Rawlins
Well, not quite. Total investment excluding labor is about $80 of aluminum (some of that went towards the main tanks, which I have yet to assemble), rivets, a couple bucks worth of tubing, some 4043 filler rod, and probably most of my argon tank by the time both auxiliary tanks are completed. ...
