Amphib: Coot vs Osprey II by
Greg Milligan
I'm interested in a plans-built amphib, and the Coot and Osprey II have
attracted my attention. Any thoughts/opinions about one vs the other?
On a related issue, I have been underwhelmed by the useful loads of both
aircraft...around 450 pounds, more or less. Is there any "conventional
wisdom" out...

MoGas Long Term Test: 5000 gallons and counting... by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas
through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills
(our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of
flight time over the last 2.5 years.

Marine Radar in a plane? by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday, as we were once again flying blindly toward unknown weather, Mary
and I lamented the fact that we'll never have radar on board our Pathfinder.
Too expensive to contemplate. Ditto with the "live uplink" stuff that's
just coming on the market.
So, I thought, why not adapt a marine radar...

Pressure Differential in heat Exchangers by
Bruce A. Frank
Morgans wrote:
Why not use a little electric fan to draw air past the radiator for extended
ground operations, like cars do?
It has been done. Bayard DuPont did it on the rear engine in his Defiant
and it worked well. Others who tried it found problems with ram air in
flight spinning the fans...

Sealant for polyethylene fuel tank? by
Rob Turk
I'm looking for a sealant or kit to seal brass NPT inserts into a
polyethylene tank. This is a Kitfox header tank that has developed a leak at
one of the inserts. I'm probably going to use Mogas that has ethanol
additives. Any hints, tips, thoughts?
Thanks,
Rob

Newbie Question, really: That first flight by
Cecil Chapman
A question I've always wanted to ask homebuilders is based on how I can see
one could go through the process of building through lots of hard work and
dedication - but how do you get yourself to do that first flight? I would
think a thousand questions would fill one's mind (ex: did I tighten...

Mazda single rotor weight? by
[email protected]
Atkins lists the weight of their single rotor "industrial" version of
the Mazda 13B at 80 lbs and their marine version at 130. I've got most
of a 13B apart on the shop floor with the idea of building a truncated
version for aviation use but I'd like to know if the weights are
anywhere near real...

A-65 Continental 100 Octane Valves: HELP! by

Ok gurus,
Last Fall, I developed trouble in one cylinder (leakage past the exhaust
valve as evidenced by hissing sound coming out exhaust stack when
pulling the engine through).
It only appears to be one cylinder, but I thought now would be a good
time to pull all four and convert to 100 Octane...
