I have been off this group for over a year. Previously this was a very active group; however, there has been very few messages since I returned. It may be due to my service provider, or maybe with the passing of a few key members the overall activity has significantly diminished. The main...

My homebuilt's master contactor is going bad. Sometimes when I turn it on it doesn't make connection. It's got 1700 hours on it, so I'd just as soon replace it. But the way the builder wired it, he's has positive power from the battery going through the master switch to the small terminal on the...

Some post-accident photos (no gore, thankfully) showing the RV and TBM Avenger were posted on a forum on Doug Reeves' RV website: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=9638 Really gives some perspective on the visibility, or lack thereof, that both pilots must have experienced.

All, This information may be well known but I felt compelled to pass it along. I've been searching for a Nicopress Swaging tool and choking on the prices at the typcial aircraft supply companies. Turns out that Lowes has a Campbell Nicipress tool, 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch for $24.95. The tool is...

How are "normal" airplane engines tuned to run at a lower rpm? What changes would have to be made to an automotive engine to shift the power band down accordingly?

I just don't get it. Can anyone successfully explain how flaperons work? Are they better or worse than seperate flaps? What are the pro's and con's? It seems to me if one fails you have no recovery. Lou

Aeronca 11AC Chief groundloop project just received. Have flying Taylorcraft so this is surplus to my needs. Groundlooped, but welding is 90+% done already. Fabric removed. Needs engine, struts, possibly spars. Some paperwork is there, but it is pretty light. Have good bill of sale, no ownership...

Hi Everyone, I have an Aero Mechanism 8140B-20 Altimeter/Encoder. Does anyone happen to have a pinout for this model? Or any ideas on where to find one? The google search turned up an Aero Mechanism CNC, but they are not the right guys. tia Bill

I think you haven't seen that many message threads on SP/LSA because they get so heated like discussions on religion or politics. Maybe folks are burned out arguing over the subject. Of course there really isn't anything to argue about. I think the new LSA will be a good thing and have a...
