Kenny has too many projects and just no time to finish this one. The prop mentioned below is the McCauley 8467 two blade. Most builders using the Ford engine find a need to repitch it to 72-76" to keep engine below self imposed redline of 4800 rpm. Hi Bruce,

One of my students invited me to his docent class graduation at the Museum of Flight last night (Wednesday). The speaker was the project manager for Mojave Aerospace Ventures, which sponsored Spaceship One. Very interesting presentation, including the question/answer session afterward. I think...

Is there a standard way to get an engine over temp, or fuel depletion alarm to sound in the headset?

In the past. someone had provided a formula for painting a corkscrew on a prop spinner but I seem unable to find it. Can anyone help as I'd like to paint my new spinner? Thanks, Dick

My plans are fully original (not copies) and were purchased by me directly from Zenith and have an original serial number. They are the CAD (not hand-drawn) plans. I would like to trade for an original set of...

At ~0.5 oz per ft^2 it should be useful for something where high strength to weight is desired. Has it been used in...

I recently purchased a Vertex Standard VXA-150 handheld radio for use in my (wood frame) Pietenpol. I am now trying to determine what antenna would be best to extend my range. Would likely see a substantial difference in range between a ground plane antenna dipole antenna such as the Advanced...

Check out the incredible performance increase Tom Aberle got on his "Phantom" biplane using the custom-designed 3-blade ELIPPSE propeller. He went from 221 mph qualification in 2003 to 241 mph qualification in 2004 on 245 rpm less! In the heats and Gold, he passed all but the 2nd and 3rd place...

Gentlemen, It's been a long time since I posted here. Hope all the regulars are doing fine. My latest project is powered with an M14 radial I needed a cowl for it, and I like metal, not fiberglass. Long story, but I wound up with two extra sets of cowl spinnings. Anybody interested? Each set...

I'm finding new aluminum spinner installation a little more complicated than originally thought G. My new spinner shell extends rearward about 3/8" past the aft bulkhead edge necessitating a spacer between the crank flange and aft bulkhead to clear the cowl nose as well as then requiring longer...
