I was reading some information on Fisher Celebrity builders websites and saw that one builder did not like the idea of glueing the fabric to the ribs as per the plans. The ribs on the Celebrity are very thin and he didn't think there was enough glue area for a satisfactory bond, so he rib...

Wish I had more news, but I did make two more (brief) flights yesterday. Flight #2 was about 0.5, first time out of the pattern. I've put a trim tab on the rudder (I love duct tape), and that helped quite a bit. Still, having to hold right rudder, thin shoes, and a cold day, and my right...

Still looking for an external antenna for my handheld. I am now thinking about putting it on the back side of the baggage compartment inside of the fuselage. This is in a wood and fabric airplane. The back of the compartment is approximately 8"x24" made out of 1/8" plywood. What I would like to...

Holidays are approaching... For those looking for an inexpensive aviation-related gift, or a book to read while flying commercial, I recommend the following book: "flight of passage" by Rinker Buck I'm not affiliated with author, nor do I make any money off this. It's simply a good book.

The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still available. We were out of print soon after our October 2002 printing so it is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the original price, too. Military Aircraft designations catalogued from 1913 to...

Anybody building or flying a Spacewalker 2 or Revolution 2? I would like to find one in western NY or near Niagara Falls ONT. I might even be interested in picking up a set of unused plans or a project if the price is right. Dave N36078 '41 BC-12-65

This is for a hypothetical ultralight design, so just looking for suggestions here of where to look at... hopefully a 4-stroke, purchase price doesn't matter much, certification status doesn't matter either. Long time before overhaul matters A LOT... so, the longer the better. Is there anything out...

Snark from New Zealand by Bill Barber Suzuki G13 http://www.sdsefi.com/air3.html There are about 4 flying but it was to go into production in Pembroke England. Did the buisness go belly up? Thanks Roland

I am a new one to attend in this group. Hope some one can help me. I wish some one can tell me how long an Electric Horizon GYRO cab be used in ultralight aircraft. Luo Zheng

Anyone got stories to share (good or bad) about EAA chapters purchasing hangars? Our chapter has been offered the right of first refusal on a hangar at the local field and I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to make it work. Long story short, the chapter would have to lease the hangar to...

I've got about 200 hours on my Rotax 582 engine and was flying one day when the tach quit. I bought a new Westach tach and installed it. When I started the engine the tach seemed to work just fine but then after a couple of minutes it quit. Thinking that I had a defective new tach I sent it back...

Recent quote for 16 of these bolts was about $20.00 each!! Anyone out there with a less expensive source?

My #3 cylinder has always run a little cold on the right mag only. I fixed what I thought was an intake leak 20 hours ago and that helped, or at least seemed like it, but today it became clear that #3 was not firing at all on the right mag. To make a very long story a little shorter, the problem...

It's all about strength to weight. Feathers aren't very strong. But then, birds aren't very heavy. Fabric is stronger than feathers, except for the quill. Even cotton fabric. Or resin-coated paper. And wood makes pretty good quill-stuff. Or even grass. Bamboo is grass. One of the tricky bits...
