Venus Airships / by Brad Guth by BradGuth
Being a little hot, buoyant and having 10% less gravity is actually a darn good thing if you were a Venusian airship, even if limited as to an oven-wrap or KetaSpire PEEK polyetheretherketone and fiber reinforced balloon. Such fiber reinforced composites do exist, although an outer skin of...

OSH '08 Redux -- The Torch Has been Passed, Part II by Jay Honeck[_2_]
(Continued...) Wednesday, July 30th After sand-bagging (figuratively) yesterday, we hit it hard today, getting an earlier start on the show, and to get ready for our big HOPS Party. We also realized that we hadn't seen much of our son, who had made friends in Vintage and become nearly...

IPC with a CFI? by [email protected]
I had a discussion with a CFI (not CFII) today. He indicated that it would be legal for him to give me an Instrument Competency Check. I was under the impression that it required a CFII. I'm looking at 61.57 and it says (2)The instrument proficiency check mist be given by - (iv) an authorized...

Ref:DUI by DaveB[_2_]
About 35 years ago (during my drinking days) I flew a couple times with a fellow that would drink beer while flying. We were flying out of a small airport in Alabama and I really didn't think much of it. Now after being sober for a long time and a little older and still alive I realize how crazy...

GAMIjectors by [email protected]
Anyone out there have these GAMIjectors? I've heard lots about them but have never gotten the bug to pay the $900 for them. But with the fuel prices the way they are ($6.10), I think I can save enough money in just one year or two to pay for these suckers. Anyone else have similar thoughts?

more rudder to the right???? by [email protected]
At my local FBO I overheard an old time, and quite accomplished, pilot discussing spins and saying that small piston airplanes have "more rudder to the right". I vaguely seem to recall reading that rudders are designed to create more "lift" to the left, when viewed from above, to compensate for...

aerobatic power to weight ratio by Superdoof
Hi, I've noticed in the videos at www.fulldeflection.com that all the top aerobatic aicraft, such as the Sukhoi SU-31, Egde 540, Extra 300, etc., can almost hover. It seems that within a few years they will be able to climb on power alone. Aerobatics will look completely different once that...

Flyers, I just passed the CFI Knowledge test today but I have some questions for the group. Sure I could look these up, but lets stimulation some discussion. Here are some questions that I do not know if I answered correctly. The verbiage may not be word-for-word but you should get the idea: 1)...

OSH '08 Redux -- The Torch Has Been Passed, Part I by Jay Honeck[_2_]
This was to be the year of the great attendance crash at Oshkosh. With GA flying down 50% in many parts of the country, attendance at other major fly-ins down, and record gas prices, it was only natural to assume that Airventure attendance would plummet, too. Even Tom Poberezny referred to...

Differences in O-540 models by Charles Talleyrand
I read that the O-540-A1A5 weighs 396 pounds, but that a IO-540-A1A5 weighs 437 pounds. Can the difference between a carb and fuel injection really be 39 pounds? Also, as I wrote an IO-540-A1A5 weighs 437 pounds. But an IO-540-c4b5 weighs 402 pounds, but produces 50 horsepower less. What did...
