There ought to be some literature on this subject since so many O-200's have been installed on the noses of Formula 1 racers and revved up to 4.5k rpm while rocketing around the pylons. Hows about it? Anybody know where it can be found? A fellow named Fehling wrote essays on how to improve the...

just read about the new BMW S 1000 RR bike. The complete engine assembly is less than 60 KG. Engine puts out 193HP (112 Nm, 12,000rpm). Wouldn't that one (slightly detuned) make a nice SLA powerplant ;-))

Anyone else see anything funny that Mr. Orr chose ANN to publish his 'response' to the heat he is getting from AOPA and thousands of pilots around the country? You almost wonder if he actually wrote it but then you realize that here is a match made in heaven. CBS and ANN. -- Christopher J....

Hi guys, new member here. Been doing some reading around here and have come up with a few questions. I just yesterday hauled home a bobcat plane from a fellow up the road. Apparently the owner previous to him built it, had it flying and decided to start on another plane building project so took out...

I was wondering if anyone here had any direct experience with these planes, and could give me some basic info? Can they be made 103-legal? Are plans still available? How easy to build & fly, stall speed & characteristics, etc.?

As we all know, the world's only B307 Stratoliner was beautifully restored at Boeing, flown to Oshkosh 2001, then run out of fuel and dunked in Puget sound. It was then re-restored and appeared at Oshkosh 2003 and is beautiful!. A friend of mine, Gene, was invited to tour the B307. When...

I'm planning on building a Boeing 747 simulator (a physical one which you can get inside!). I've found these plans for the overhead panel: http://www.glideslope.de/images/LH744_overhead.gif but I can't find anything similar for the other panels. Help!

Carl posted the note in Rec.Metalworking. Sad. Looks like the end of an era - literally.

Bend over, here it comes again! According to AOPA and EAA e-newsletters, a NY Congressman, aptly named Weiner, proposes Dracinian measures against GA: AOPA WORKS THE HILL TO DEFEAT 'RIDICULOUS' GA SECURITY BILL The moment word first leaked out that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) wanted to impose...

Anybody know if plans were ever done for the Junior and/or if they are available? John

I'm about to do some final torquing of bolts and I want to make sure I have the right torque numbers. A DOT Inspection and Repair manual chart states that an AN-3 bolt with an AN-365 nut ( fine thread ) should be torqued to 20-25 inch pounds. Is this correct? Thanks Neal

The Bombardier web page says that a V-220 engine (their next generation offering for the 200 hp crowd will weigh 419 pounds (see http://www.vaircraftengines.com/en/technicalData_v-220.asp). That's for the whole 'package', who's contents are listed...

I remember seeing an article several years ago on a car company developing a racecar using a bonded aluminum structure and rivet reinforcing. It struck me at the time that this would make an improved method of aircraft construction and I was wondering if this had been used before on homebuilt...

I'm looking for some info on products to use to bond plexiglass windshields and other windows in the airframe. I know some guys use laminating epoxy. I'm sure there are other products as good or better. Anybody with experience? Also, anybody with experience with products like zolatone or...

Author Gary Kimberley, an Australian airline pilot and designer of an ultralight, presents a thorough book on the fun planes sometimes called "minimum aircraft". He covers the design, construction and safe operation with emphasis on understanding the dangers of wind shear, turbulence, density...

A little good information but mainly cheerleading At one time, it was thought that auto engines were for cars, boat engines were for boats, and airplane engines were for airplanes. Eventually, Gardner diesel and Miller/Offenhauser racing marine engines wound up in vehicles, Liberty, Napier Lion,...
