Local paper said the Wright Flyer got ripped off in Canada.
Just to clarify, the truck hauling the Flyer was stolen.
The flyer itself was not.

Refinishing a Wood Prop by
Kyle Boatright
I've noticed that my prop is beginning to show signs of wear -chips in the
leading edge, and cracks in the clear finish. Given that I'm having shoulder
surgery in a couple of weeks (and probably won't be up to flying until the
arm is substantially healed), I should have some time on my hands to...

Confessions of a Dumb Guy by
Veeduber
Most of you have never heard of Vernon Payne. He's best known as the designer
of a spiffy little biplane called the Knight Twister. Rag & tube fuselage,
solid spruce spars, plywood skins on cantilevered wings. Slicker than snot on
a door knob. First flew about 1929 and continues doing so today...

Engine prices? by
Richard Lamb
Well, boys and girls, I may just beat the medical issue after all.
If (when?) that happens, I'll immediately start on a new Tailwind
(I sold my project a while back because it didn't look like this
was ever going to happen). So I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but
it's important to have a goal in...

removing old, dried, masking tape by
Michael Horowitz
Someone used masking tape many years ago to cover some screwheads on
my leading edge. Pulling it off only gives me strips of masking tape.
Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff? - Mike

twin boom pusher design/prototype for sale on ebay by
rich a.
Search on ebay for item number : 4533523478 Anyone know the name of
the "famous designer" refered to? The performance claims seem
unrealistic at best. I doubt even the short wing version will reach
237 mph.....unless in a full power straight down dive. Just my
opinion.

Water in our oil, or just alot of hot air? by

I just watched a program about the huge Oresund bridge between Denmark
and Sweden, and there was a segment about how the corrosion problem for
the bridge was dealt with. Instead of painting, they use sealed
compartments that have the air humidity kept below 60%. This they said
eliminates...
