Auto conversions & gear boxes by
Dave Covert
I notice that most auto engine conversions use a gear box between the engine
and the prop. Why is that? Is it because an auto engine's peak HP is too
high for a prop to swing? Is it because auto engines weren't designed to be
pulled around by their crankshafts and don't have proper thrust...

Constant Speed Prop vs Variable Engine Timing by
Jay
Seems to me that some of the benefits of the constant speed prop were
based on the limitiations of timing (ignition and valve) of the
Lyco/Conti engines. If your engine was designed to have a large
dynamic range of efficient operation, you won't need the articulated
prop as much.

It may be due to my service provider, or maybe with the passing of a few key
members the overall activity has significantly diminished.

burned out arguing over the subject. Of course there really isn't anything
to argue about. I think the new LSA will be a good thing and have a...

Master contactor question by
rich[_2_]
My homebuilt's master contactor is going bad. Sometimes when I turn it
on it doesn't make connection. It's got 1700 hours on it, so I'd just
as soon replace it. But the way the builder wired it, he's has
positive power from the battery going through the master switch to the
small terminal on the...

Post-accident photos of RV/TBM Avenger Oshkosh taxi collision by
Jim Logajan
Some post-accident photos (no gore, thankfully) showing the RV and TBM
Avenger were posted on a forum on Doug Reeves' RV website:
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=9638
Really gives some perspective on the visibility, or lack thereof, that both
pilots must have experienced.

Flaperons by

I just don't get it. Can anyone successfully explain how flaperons
work? Are they better or worse than seperate flaps? What are the pro's
