So what is the big deal that King avionics has been advertising would be announced at OSH? Likewise, what is the Rotorway announcement? Matt

Is anyone aware of an online, searchable database of production and kit airplanes that will allow a search for only high-wing airplanes? I'm aware of a few of the kits, but most likely not all. I'm looking at something that would be a decent IFR cross-country machine yet have decent short-field...

I wante4d to look at some pictures on one of the alt.binaries groups and all I got was gobbledgook. Is there a viewing program one is supposed to use and if so what is it and where do I get it? Thanks in advance for curing my ignorance.

Jim Weir gave out awaards at Oshkosh and one of them was for ?radio racks? A system for installing a vertical set of avionics in an instrument panel. I have lost all my literature and am about to upgrade the panel on my RV 6. I have bought the approach systems for the wiring and would like to...

Somebody at AirVenture 2003 presented the best of what's new in the vendor areas. There were several hardware and software awards. One of the hardware awards was a system that let you accurately position avionics trays in the panel. It was called something like "radio racks". If you...

According to their FAQ they were expecting shipments to begin in 4th quarter '07 with consistent production and deliveries in '08. We're fast approaching 2nd qtr '08 so I was curious if the vaporware had become solid yet.

My civilian employer is paying for me to get an MBA. As part of the program, we design and evaluate mock business plans. As a pilot and a builder, I naturally chose to do an airplane company as my project. Once the other folks in the program realized that there really was such a thing as a...

I'm writing a general Wikipedia article on the BD-5 (rewriting actually) and I'm trying to re-create the story. My interest is primarily from a "Popular someting" or "something Mechanics" magazine (currently at my parents house, I'll see if I can get it over the holidays - I don't think it was...

Proposal for a future (helicopter) engine... 2-stroke diesel 2500cc two cylinder 45 degree V (120-150hp) air cooled (cowlings) common rail direct injection (high pressure) supercharged (Whipple fixed displacement max. 25 psi twin-screw) piston ported (or with LIM-type intake valve) Links...

2-stroke diesels need compressed air for starting the engine, so the turbo (exhaust driven centrifugal supercharger) is out of a guestion and it produces very little boost at low rpm anyhow. How about supplementing a centrifugal turbocharger with a high speed electric motor to create boost needed...

It appears that Turbodyne was a stock market hoax to attract investors. So, it´s a goner, but the idea on an electronically assisted turbocharger definetely is not.

Can anybody tell me what are the typical pressures required to dimple a skin and also to compress a flush rivet? I know that squeezer tools are rated at typically two to four tons, but what are the actual pressures required? I'm trying to work out the dimensions on a hand operated gantry for...

Anyone know if Marquardt Charger plans are available? Anyone have a set they'd be willing to part with?

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.
