Need Micro Balancer by Jim
I am looking for a Micro balancer for my Mini-500. While it is very smooth in most conditions I wil want to use a micro balancer in the future as future preventive maintenance will tend to cause changes to current settings. Must be a 100 or so out there now with no use because most Mini-500 owners...

A Simple Auto Engine Conversion by [email protected]
I was thumbing through a catalog from Speedway Motors. They advertise a magneto-type distributor. Assuming you didn't come across a thrashed race engine with magnetos, couldn't someone put together an engine worthy of aircraft use, by simply 1) ordering an aftermarket engine with fuel injection,...

The cost of war by Mark Hickey

Auto conversions & gear boxes by Dave Covert
I notice that most auto engine conversions use a gear box between the engine and the prop. Why is that? Is it because an auto engine's peak HP is too high for a prop to swing? Is it because auto engines weren't designed to be pulled around by their crankshafts and don't have proper thrust...

Why don't wings have dimples? by Dancing Fingers
Hi all, I always wanted to build my own airplane but the time and money has eluded me. So I've decided to design and build my own recumbent trike, with farings. This brings me to my question, if golf balls have dimples, to help them sail further, why don't wings -- especially for STOL aircraft? ...

DIY Two-Stroke Engine by durabol[_2_]
For the last few years I have toyed with the idea of building a homemade two-stroke engine for UL use. What keyed my interest was reading about homemade model aircraft engines and reading and watching a re-enactment of the Wright brother's first flight with a replica engine (not a two-stroke...

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
I have an opportunity to bring home a Mini 500 kit for no money or at the 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...

Come see us at Oshkosh by [email protected]
I posted earlier in response to a message from Jay Honeck telling him to come by our booth at Oshkosh and say high, not meaning to make a public announcement about a new product we are introducing at Oshkosh, but it was quickly noticed by others and I was told I was being coy. I just didn't want to...

Being a Rotax 912s driver, and being as how the Rotax prefers premium automobile fuel, I have been searching for places that serve automobile gas that are accessable to airplanes. I'm not having much luck. So, does anyone know of a database that tracks availability of MOGAS for aviation...
