Hi, I am finishing the construction of a J-3. I intend to have the following in the aircraft and would like to know if you can give me any hints or suggestions on the type, location and mounting of the antenna farm. I would either like to hide the antennas or build them from scratch or kit. I am...

Anyone know how the pins on a TDR-950 transponder connector are numbered? As you are looking at the connector from the back of the unit, left to right? Right to left? Thanks.

What is with this crap that they need to raise 5 million to reopen the Statue of Liberty? Talk about ransom and terrorism and our government is the source again! The park service doesn't make enough with the fees they charge? Talk about seriously ****ing people off. (Including me!) Sorry, had to...

Sometime recently (last 6 months or so) there was a post about how much a well done auto conversion costs. The point was that if you're doing it right - rebuild with race quality parts, proven PSRU, etc - that the initial installation isn't significantly less than a zero timed LyCont. (I think...

I've had a kind of unnerving vibration in my RV-4 since first flight. I looked into harmonic dampers, but they're pretty expensive, so I decided to give dynamic balancing a shot first. $200 and 1 hour later, my engine runs *much* smoother. It measured 0.3+ ips on the first run, so the guy weighed...

Group, In April I offered in Yahoo's Volksplane list, for free, a set of VP-II wings, horizontal stabilizer and rudder that I had in storage in Redmond, Oregon when I realized I would not be able to retrieve them for my project. The first person to answer was a certain Peyton Gentry aka Sean Ross...

Up for auction on ebay now is an HP-18 project. It has flown 1500 hours but needs a complete rebuild. It NEEDS either wing contouring or use it as a "quickbuild" kit for a Super-18 with the fuselage, tail, wing spars and controls already built. Comes with a very good Gehrlein open heavy duty...

I've had my eye on the RV aircraft for a very long time. Anyone on this list finish a quick built RV? How long did it take? How much longer do you think the RV-10 QB will take when it's availible? (More seats more interior, bigger, it should take take somewhat longer.)

First, Let me say that I know that these designs are "external" combustion. That and that they're gas hogs compared to piston driven engines. My question is: Since the advent of electronic fuel injection, has anyone tried to revamp these designs to be more effective/effiencient? If anyone has...

Well, Christmas is almost here and it's time once again for the Almost Annual Christmas Poem! Seeing as how I'm feeling of good cheer (actually I'm not feeling much pain either after half a quart of homebrew "Ho,Ho,Ho!"), I think now is the proper time to send my Almost Annual Christmas Poem on...

I saw an article that says to not let Alodine sit for more than four hours after application. One question is, does the group agree with that? Second, if you don't get primer painted by that time, do you try to wash it off, reapply, what? The proper application of alodine is after...

Wednesday night at 8 pm Oshkosh time. Dang it, Jim, when are the Wrong Brothers going to provide baby-sitting service?? ;-) *sigh* One of these years the kids will be old enough to leave alone for a few hours at the campsite. Of course, by then I'll be too old to stay up late enough to...
