I know there are quite a few designs out there, PA-11 Cub, Bushcaddy, Zenith CH701 to name a few that I'm kind of familiar. But here, I'm looking into the possiblity of working it...

Hi all- I pitched some ideas for articles to Kitplanes Magazine. I've written for them before but it's been a few years. Editor Paul Dye graciously and promptly replied and advised the following: "our focus is on “How To� - a reader should be able to finish an article and actually DO...

Will a metallic paint interfere with the strength of signal with impeded antennas in a composite airplane? I have a small transponder antenna and a Comm antenna bonded to the inside of the fuselage. Will a metallic paint and the presence of aluminum chips screw up the strength of signal in...
