Oshkosh Reflections by
Jay Honeck
One of the problems with a 1 gig camera memory card is that it is possible
to take virtually unlimited pictures at OSH. If you figure it takes a
minimum of 1 minute per pic to look at, adjust, and save -- and I took 250
photos -- we're looking at a minimum of four hours just to save the pix...

Revolution Mini 500 - is it buildable? by
Jim Anglin

least a couple thousand dollars. As far as I can tell it is all there and
has never been touched by the original purchaser. I have poked around in
cyberspace and learned a little about this airplane, some of which is not...

Backlit panel by
cavelamb[_2_]
I remember Linda Rice's Lockheed had a really cool backlit panel overlay.
The panel itself was heavy aluminum sheet, but then they added a plastic
overlay that had an opaque cover. Legends and labeling was done by
engraving the opaque layer.
On the back side of the there were little cavities...

fluid over hot calipers and setting the wheels on fire. hmmmmm.

Rogue's Gallery Update -- Talk about diversity! by
Jay Honeck
Wow. When we started the Rogue's Gallery -- a webpage where aviation
newsgroup aficionados can post pictures of our aircraft, in an effort to get
to know one another better -- I had no idea this thing would eventually grow
to encompass 32 different makes of aircraft!
More amazingly, within those...

engine conversion or any other option that is not FAA certified, Ya see

Aerodynamics acording to Myth Busters! by
cavelamb himself[_2_]
It is more fuel efficient to drive a pick-up truck with its tailgate
down, rather than up.
Busted
Driving with the tailgate down actually increased drag on the pick-up
and caused it to consume fuel faster than the identical truck driven
with the tailgate up. It was later revealed that the...

homebuilt aircraft is that it is an experimental plane, built for the
