Has anyone had any experience with the "gasflow" of VW engine to improve
horsepower at lower RPM?
-------------------------------------------------

Transponders, Radios and other avionics procurement questions by
Corky Scott
I'm at the point where I need to start collecting instruments so I can
build the instrument panel.
As always, I'm a bit shocked at the prices new or reconditioned
instruments cost: The typical panel mount radio goes for around $900
to $1300 depending on how much power and features you want. ...

Pilot Error? Is it Mr. Damron? by

For example, if I build a plane that is impossible to fly or a
helicopter that cannot be auto-rotated, it is still very possible that
an accident report could conclude that I was at fault for not avoiding
a stall or not successfully performing an auto-rotation. Why?
Because...

Sport Pilot tv program, I was wondering what the simplest, least complicated
mechanically/structurally sound means to operate would be.
It appeared to be some sort of extendable track??
My first thought, is that doesn't...

From his website:
"Moller International has developed the first and only feasible,
personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)

Jabiru V Rotax reliability? by
Joe
Looking to buy either a Jabiru or Rotax 4 stroke engine.
RELIABILITY is the most important factor.
Seems like the Jabiru should be better with lower RPM but believe that Rotax
have more engines in service and therefore more development time and hence
reliability.
Any comments welcomed.
