I am looking for aluminum piano hinge (MS20257) for a Zenith 601 XL. The flaps use a seven foot hinge. The longest I have been able to find is six foot. Anybody know where I can find a 7-8 foot long piano hinge...MS20256P4? (I can find 8 ft. hinges, but it's a different alloy....5005 instead of...

I have heard many people, including a couple of A&Ps, say that when the rings on a cylinder all line up that the cylinder will loose compression. This doesnt make sense to me because if the rings are going to leak, then they would leak anyway. There is an air path between each ring for the air...

I've been wondering what to do for labels in the cockpit of a homebuilt. The Brother line of printers looks like it might be good. They have tape that prints white on a black background in a variety of widths. I like the traditional look of white on black, but I don't know if these labels...

I've been wondering which shape is lower drag, a rounded one or a sharp one. I can understand why the leading edge of a wing would be rounded, this allows a larger range of AOA before flow speration and stall, but what about the vertical stabilizer? Wouldn't this be better with a sharp leading...

Hello, The Aircraft Builders Mailing List (ABML) is moving to a new site. Hundreds of spam emails per day to the list address forced the move. The list is now hosted as a forum on planenews.com http://planenews.com The old archives, from November 97 to May 2003 are still available at:

To Jim Weir and Group I am interested in using the new (to me) 1 watt and 5 watt LEDs for nav lights. Not having to worry about changing bulbs or the power requirements are very attractive. I have seen some posts about leds but would like to tie it all together. I know of two sites showing their...

I just found out about a method being used by some experimenters to cover their wings that is intriguing. They are literally covering the wings twice with fabric. The technique involves covering the wing initially with a heavy grade fabric, taughten it with the iron as specified, apply the rib...

Recently I posted some questions regarding this issue. After some experimentation, it appears that LEDs and inexpensive strobes are indeed a feasible option for experimental a/c. Following a presentation at our recent EAA meeting, our most senior DAR liked the mock-ups so well that he will...

I am trying to find some information on your capacitive fuel sending unit that was in KitPlanes. Do you offer this as a kit? Do you have info on making the probe? I have Velocity and I would like to mount the probe in the site glass so as not to have to drill holes in my nonleaking fuel tanks...

I know this is not proper for this group, but I need to purchase some countersunk very small SS rivets. I need to connect 2 and three sheets of 20 ga. stainless. I feel there are more qualified metal working craftsmen here, as anywhere. Hence I ask. I would sure appreciate a link to a supplier...

There are two planes hangered at my field with Rotax 582 engines which are both having the same problem. Each engine has about 30 to 40 hours on them and suffer from surging and/or power failure during climb-out or shortly after. Typically, the RPMs will drop from 6000 to around 4800 after about 2...

Hi again all, I asked for a listing of the Narco 11A pinouts and received same from one of you gentlemen. Well, no bull****, my pit bull chewed it up before I was able to make use of it. I understand that the 120A has the same pinout as the 11A, so if some one would take pity on me and resend this...

The newest "tallest building" is the Taipei 101, at over 1650 ft. What is truly amazing are the elevators, which ascend at a rate of over 3300 ft/min. As my wife pointed out, "my poor eardrums". Can you get an embolism at that rate? (I'm a diver, getting a bubble is a major issue). -- dillon

Hi all... The discussion about aluminum vs composites and running across some stuff on the hummel bird got me thinking... What are the REALLY small homebuilts out there? The hummel bird and tennie two - aluminum construction.... The Cri Cri - mostly aluminum?

I have seen a completed Quickie for sale that no one will touch. The word is that since it was never painted, there is no way to know how much sunlight (UV) the fiberglass has been exposed to and no way to test the strength. On the same subject, has anyone seen a Quickie with one of the new twins...
