heater control for curing oven by
[email protected]

Hinges under stress - mechanical engineering type question by
Corrie
Thinking about a hinge like this (end view): ____(O)____ where "___"
is the plate, "( )" is the barrel, and "O" is the hinge pin. It would
be bolted through the plates to the surface below. The barrel sits
"on top" of the plates. Hope that makes sense.
It's in tension and/or compression (some...

Doug Fir vs: Sitka Spruce by
Lou Parker
Can anyone tell me the truth? When I read articles about the
difference between the two woods, the information says that fir is 23%

Modifying Vision plans for retractable gear... by
Chris
Dear All:
I am researching various options for a homebuilt aircraft. I am
located in Thailand, and over here labor is significantly more
obtainable than money, so cost is definitely a primary concern. Build
time can always be compensated for by enlisting help. Based on what I
want, it appears that...

It was olive drab with a big white star on the fuselage and looked like a Piper

V8 fuel flow by
Robert Bates
I was reading on a site about someone running a Chevy LS1 that was derated
to 320hp and bone stock that was running 10.9 gal/hr at cruise. Does anyone
have experience with these engines? If it is accurate, that is quite a
savings over Lycoming and Continentals of that HP.
