Here's a quote from yesterdays ANN article: "ANN's Jim Campbell, flying an R-44 helo (which is proving to be an impressive load-hauler, even in the oppressive heat) in outlying disaster areas..." What a hoot he's got them convinced at the home office that he's flying relief missions in a R-44 ....

Hello everyone, I'm back in the shop again with a new problem. That is, how to drill accurate holes on-center through steel tubing. I need to attach 2 short lengths of 1/2" EMT tubing parallel to the top tube of a bicycle frame, one on each side. The EMT tubes will extend about 20" forward of...

I'm a musician and I have some excellent noise reduction in-ear headphones. I would like to use these as my in-cockpit headphones. Generally - the regular over-the-head, squish-your-ear things are quite annoying to me. However - that leaves me with the issue of a mic and adapter to use these...

I remember seeing some time back a hangar design that used a circular dome style building. It showed GA airplanes all backed in and seemed like it used the space well. A Google search on round, circular, and dome aircraft hangars did not lead me to the hangar that I was looking for. Anyone...

This is a hypothetical question. If you were faced with a Ceconite covered wing, and you wanted to remove coating back to the fabric and start with a new silver coating, is there any way to gracefully do that? I'm visualizing someone trying it with MEK and a lot of rags and a big mess. - Mike

This is an announcement that will be of interest to some experimental aircraft builders.

Well I just came across another piece of advertising masquerading as an article in Private Pilot magazine. The author goes up on a short hop in a Sting Sport, another plastic topy ariplane from the Czech Republic and he's raving about it like it's the biggest thing since sliced bread. He even...

Anyone in the fiberglass / aluminum sheet metal industry ( or other successful enthusiasts ) interested in contributing to some experimentation.

I have an need to disable one side of a dual magneto for my project. Essentially I am installing a Electroair system to fire one set of plugs and retaining the magneto to fire the second. My initial plan was to find a single mag to replace the dual but apparently the nature of the gearing...

I've got a pair of wings that are finished up through a silver coating on the fabric. The wings are beautifully made, never been outside, never even mounted on a fuselage, no rust on the metal parts, no deterioration of the wood. Glue joints look like new. Rib stitching looks like it was done...

When I saw this I thought it was the craziest thing I've seen since the Moller Skycar: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9572408/ When I saw THIS it confirmed my opinion: http://www.rocketracingleague.com/company_leadership-team.html - John Ousterhout -

Anybody know anything about that CH701 on Zenairs site that has a mercedes smart Diesel in it? It got me to poking around on some european website. I found the specs for the ford 1.4 litre diesel sold over there. Not sure how the figures size up to gas engines currently in use. Any...

Neiman Marcus has the Skycar prototype on sale for $3.5M. http://snipurl.com/i0eh If only Moller offered it with the Zoch Diesel.... Maybe Zzzzz or his Toadie will test fly the thing. Look for a flight report on Aero-nut network.

Hi, I was looking at pictures of Yamaha's recently announced Deinonychus motorbike, and was struck by how functional and light it looked, due to having been designed around electric wheel-motors: http://www.gizmag.com/go/4686/ Somehow this same barebones functional look reminded me a bit of...
