Hey Ron,
Ok, now that I am infamous, where are the riches you promised.
Just got my September issue of KitPlanes and saw the story on Building a Home
Page. Great article and I was pleased to see my Web Page in the composite shot
at the beginning of the article. I was really surprised to see a...

Simpy One of Many Stories of a Time Not So Long Ago by
Badwater Bill
You guys have written some cool stories in a thread above. Here's one
I wrote tonight. Here's fictional story number #69a.
It's not polished. It's just a draft. Some of you might like it. Some
of you might identify with it. But, most of all, I hope you enjoy it
because I hope it puts you there....

GOO to OSH on gasahol by
RST Engineering
I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that Gail and I are going to go from Grass Valley to
Oshkosh (via Iowa City) next month burning nothing but ethanol-laced
gasahol.
The bad news is that we are going to do it in a Subaru wagon.
Simple math. With the advent of gasahol the...

Jim Weir: help to add car radio to aviation audio panel music input by
Brian DeFord
Jim,
I've read your columns regarding aircraft electronics for years and I
just can't seem to get an answer for a problem I have. I'm trying to
connect a Alpine AM/FM/CD player in my plane to the music input of my
audio panel (a GMA340) The problem is that I can't hear the music
because the volume...

BobR
I know that they changed the name to the Oshkosh event several years
back to AirVenture but when did they rename the Sun-N-Fun flyin to
Lakeland? Seems that zoom can't even report on the event using the
correct name or they have changed the name of the event....or he has a
bunch of Major Sponsors...

Airplane design. by
Stuart Grey
I was looking at the design of the Murphy Moose:
http://www.murphyair.com/
They put the cost at about 100k$, cheap compared to the two Cessna's and
the Bush Hawk to which Murphy compares the Moose:
http://www.murphyair.com/Product_Info/Super/compare.htm
From their engine page, half of that cost...

Here are some (on topic - no less) doodles of a small low wing.

An odd thing about CAD... by
[email protected]
(aside from blank messages :-)
I use DeltaCAD, a simple 2D replacement for the traditional T-square
and triangles, to make patterns for parts, from a 56" rib to itty-bitty
things for home-made clocks, tiny steam engines and similar stuff. And
I talk about it, too. If you hope to share...

Anyone still flying gyrocopters? by
[email protected]
I flew helos in the Marines, and in the '60s put together a Benson kit.
It logged about 220 hours with zero problems, including a highly idiotic
trip from the CA coast to Catalina. In 1972, however, my wife-to-be
insisted it go before the wedding bells.
Are any of these still around?

Dream Airplane poll by
Bob Babcock
I read the Kitplanes discussion and thought that a poll of this group
would be interesting and more relevant. Perhaps in response to two
questions;
What airplane do you own?
What dream airplane would you like to build and/or own?
My vote on both questions is the correct choice, of course.

At Dear Ol' AVL Airport, Asheville, NC by
jls
In order to be a flight instructor you need 5,000 feet hangar space, 1,500
feet office space, plus two airplanes, one of which must be IFR certified.
This is the official rule, in writing and enforced by the airport authority.
What this effectively does is exclude any competition for the one...

Dumb Canard Question. by
Russell Kent

Why are many Canard designs (Cozy , Eze's etc)
parked with their noses resting on the ground?
Is it simply to reduce wear on the Nose gear or
for a more esoteric reason?
The reason is because on those designs the static Cg is only
slightly ahead of the...

Corky's engine choice by

Someone expressed surprise that I was now working on a Ford 3.8L V-6

I thought I'd bring everyone up to date. It's true that I had
basically given up on using an auto conversion as I was having trouble
justifying the cost...

AND THE KIS CRUISER ROUNDS THE PYLON... by
Paul Folbrecht
Merry Christmas to all RAHers!!
For no particular reason, I've decided to give a little "brain dump" of
where I am right now in my kitplane choosing process.
A little background. I'd been dreaming of a two-place kitplane for a
number of years, leaning heavily towards an RV-9A for a long time,...
