Subject: tea party There's a storm abrewin'. What happens when good, responsible people keep quiet? Washington has forgotten they work for us... We don't work for them. Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer. I am sick of the midnight, closed door sessions to come up with a plan. ...

Where can I get a wiring diagram for a Telex TC200 Intercom. I purchased a plane with this intercom installed and have a wiring problem. Thanks much Paul N1431A

Came across this interesting aircrat at Old Buckenham in the UK last weekend Can anyone enlighten as to its background - at first glance looks like a PA18 http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1159961/ Best regards

Is there such a calculation/formula? How can you tell what propeller to use, how fast it should rotate, and how much weight it can push along the ground? Specifically... I would like to tell what sort and size of propeller rotating at what speed, in calm air to push 100 or 200 pounds on smooth...

A question came up over pizza the other night. What are the tax consequenes of selling a homebuilt? Assume we know how much the raw materials cost. Assume we know approx how many hours of labor went into it. Assume the homebuilt is worth $200K If it is sold what are the tax implications?

I recently did a flight test of my Lancair 235 testing TAS, true air speed, vs. the reflex angle of the flaps, i.e. angle of the flaps above the wing surface. The test was flown at 1535 lb, 11,000' density altitude, full-throttle, leaned for max rpm. +8 deg. - 196.2mph; +6 deg. - 199.7mph; +4 deg....

Cutting a long taper in aluminum bar or angle stock is always something of a chore. Not because it's a chore-type chore - - the work goes quickly enough - - but because we don't do it very often and have to get things set up for the job. After sawing the taper you sand away the saw marks then...

Would appreciate a source for tapered landing gear legs. Thanks, Dick

What has happened to taper pins? I need two AN386-3-9A pins to tie a universal joint to a one inch torque tube. AS&S says that I've got to buy 5 at 17.50(USD) each. Can anyone recommend a source that actually wants to sell them at a reasonable price? -- ----Because I...

Well, not quite. Total investment excluding labor is about $80 of aluminum (some of that went towards the main tanks, which I have yet to assemble), rivets, a couple bucks worth of tubing, some 4043 filler rod, and probably most of my argon tank by the time both auxiliary tanks are completed. ...

Someone gave me a Speedaire Model 3Z394 airtank. I know nothing about its integrity or working pressure. 1. If you own such a model, could you tell me the max safe tank pressure? 2. How can I determine if the tank (which as some rust on the outside) still has its integrity? - Mike

Does anyone know what airfoil the tandem AirBike uses, and for that matter what its' chord length and leading edge radius are? Thanks

Basic Facts A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of CASH within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam!" But like...

My four tailwheel unit auctions on ebay have not even reached half of the new prices of tailwheels. It seems that you can get a great deal and save hundreds off the new replacement cost. If you can machine the bronze oilite bushings on a home lathe, you can restore three Maule tailwheels, sell two,...

A set of 3 rebuidable Maule tailwheel "projects" A BRAND NEW Scott 3200 tailwheel in the box A Scott 3400 heavy duty tailwheel less wheel and tire A Scott 3-24B (now Model 2000) in used but serviceable condition My stating prices are $10, and most of...

I have trouble steering my homebuilt, which is simular of PA-20 and suspect the steering springs are weak. Of coarse excessive tension would be too much stress on the rudder steering yoke. Does anyone know the correct spring rate for the steering springs on a PA-20?

how does one decide to use a "cable" versus "spring" for the connection between rudder horn and tailwheel assembly horn? how tightly connected and what strength spring, etc? Thanks Dick (an evolving tricycle driver G)

I'm building the tail-plane of my wooden aircraft and the plans have specific measurements of the ribs every couple of inches to get the shape from leading edge back. Unfortunately when I built the ribs it came out looking as if it would create a whole lot of drag. In fact when I follow the...
