For those who have been following the conn case. Here's the latest from the court concerning the case. It says what I've been saying all along that I was not responsible personally for conns deposit to the old company. Just more "proof positive" that zoom and jaun are not credible sources of info....

There was mention a while back about a hydraulic CS prop was converted to an adjustable prop. What would be necessary for that? An electric hydraulic pump and a valve/controller?

I am reposting this from the Bearhawk e-mail forum: Budd Davisson wrote: A few minutes ago word came down that mid-afternoon Thursday, Mark Goldberg's AviPro Bearhawk flew for the first time at Lakeway Airport in Austin, Texas. Jim Clevenger came in from the Builder's Assistance...

It's hard to believe that I lost my son in a crash just a year ago. Who would have believed a year ago this morning that today would have changed the lives of so many people, both family and friends? Because of the mis-information that was given to the media soon after the accident on Dec. 5,...

Hello All. I'm contemplating building a float plane - west coast of Canada. I've flown mostly C-180 and C-185 on floats, so I have a pre-conception that aluminum is a good material for the salt water environment. Murphy's a good choice and local too. I like Zenair's 801 as well. Been intrigued...

Aircraft Spruce said that the only supplier of chrome moly just went out of business. There may be a new company coming on line early in 2004. But right now the prices are skyrocketing and availability is dropping. It is likely that even with a new company making it the prices will be...

I am involved with the building of a velocity, and questions are flying around about propeller choice. For in-flight adjustable, we are limited at this time to an electric control, such as MT or IVO. Cost is pushing our options in this area towards the IVO. I have heard of some vibration/resonance...

As we did last year, AeroFile is celebrating the Holiday Season (and my Birthday) with a sale of sorts. From December 1 to December 24, 2003, when you order copy of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" we will pay your shipping. What a great Holiday gift. We still have some...

Hello, Can someone help me out and confirm that the horizontal stabilizer / elevator of an RV-8 at it widest point is just under 9 feet? I'm setting up my shop and was surprised to see that the preview plans don't have those sorts of dimensions on any of the drawings. I did find a Three View...

From what I understand, the low power to weight ratio of diesel engines has been the main limiting factor for their adoption into small planes (and passenger cars for that matter). The reason for the high weight as it was explained to me was that the high compression used for an auto-ignition type...

I need to get a fiberglass cowling from Williston, FL 32696 to Tempe, AZ 85283 (Cowling would fit in a 45"W x 40"L x 40"H box. Forward Air has gone nuts with their shipping rates. (Over $400) so I'm looking for better ideas. -- Bart D. Hull Tempe, Arizona

I just wanted to give RAHers one last chance to buy Apollo (UPSAT, GARMINAT, whatever you want to call them) avionics at a deep discount. I will be closing my account Christmas day. Most stuff is about 25-30% off, more on some, less on others. About $1k off an SL30, $3k off a CNX-80. Whole...

I found a set of 0-320 cylinders for sale from a cherokee 140 with I think it was an E3B engine. Will these fit any 0-320 engine or are there different cylinders for every model number. Drew

In many area's on my wood structure it calls for a filler. Usually spruce, but for no other reason but to fill a gap. These are not structural in the least, only to fill (i.e. on top of the spar a 1/4" strip of wood to keep the plywood skin from saging in between the wing ribs). Has anyone used...
