Someone gave me a Speedaire Model 3Z394 airtank. I know nothing about its integrity or working pressure. 1. If you own such a model, could you tell me the max safe tank pressure? 2. How can I determine if the tank (which as some rust on the outside) still has its integrity? - Mike

Running from September to September… That IS the real year after all isn’t it? The second annual Legacy of Speed Unlimited Air Racing calendars are even BIGGER than last year! Legacy of Speed celebrates the history of Air Racing with images spanning 62 years of the worlds fastest motorsport....

New to riveting here. Reading on basics show the impact on the manufactured head is transmitted along the rivet and forces the bucking bar off the bucktail. It then slams back, causing the rivet shaft to begin to deform. Because the bucking bar needs to move, does this mean it can not be clamped...

"Where do you find the time?" That's one of the more common questions I'm asked. Probably the best answer is that I don't watch TV. Oh, we've got one -- great big thing the kids bought for us, mostly so they could watch the Bowl games when they come over to visit during the holidays. We watch...

Not joking. Help me out here. -Bob Hoover

Hello, I just receive today my new cylinder assy set. I see a plus on the intake port (perhaps 1/8NPT). Original continental cylinders don't have this hole and plug. what may be the fonction of this hole?

Jim Weir..the articles in Kitplanes on subject didn't discuss noise generation from the oscillator cycling output voltage to LEDs. Is there a noise filter requirement to minimize disruption of radio operation?

2200 13 NOV 2008 Marks the end of my day. 0600 Marks its awakening but the pill regime is already six hours old. Then 0900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100 and finally 2200, a Special Dose of three drugs known to interact with pills taken at 2100. So we give the 2100 pills a chance to dissipate before...

It would seem logical to just draw gas from the lowest point of the tank into a fuel line leading to the engine. But contrary to a car, an airplane can experience negative gs, and especially in aerobatics, for prolonged periods of time. So a pump connected to the lowest point of the tank would only...

That "experiment" didn't seem to find the lift its builders expected: http://www.kitplanesmag.blogspot.com/ Too bad - not sure if it was a lack of traffic (inadequate marketing) or simply too much of a drain of their finite time relative to what they thought they thought they were gaining.

Perhaps ABC needs some input as to the reliability of the source they quote (see page two) in this news story: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5624381&page=1

I would like to put internal nav and comm antennas in a series 5 kitfox, which has a welded tube frame. Could reasonable performance be obtain with elements on the inside surface of the fabric, but out side the frame? Seems to me this is essentially mounting the antenna very close to a so-so...

Hi all, I need to buy a new handheld GPS and would like pilot reports for the Lowrance units like the Airmap 2000c and 600C. Likes, dislikes, etc. Thanks Dave

I've heard of prepregs which have the resin and hardener separated within the fabric, which can be activated by applying pressure with a squeegee or similar tool. I searched the internet but I can only find the standard premixed prepregs which need to be kept in a refrigerator and cured at elevated...

What's the difference between an IGSO-540 and an IO-540? Can one be conveniently used in an RV-10? Thanks JohnO

I posted a notice about our A.N.N interview and expected at least some response and probably a shower of stuff about ZZZZ, who BTW I've never met, but nothing. ???? Has the ZZZZ stuff run it's course? Stu

Is there an easy way for a novice to check an old antenna? thanks et

The 601XL I'm building is designed with a simple ON(mom)-off-On(mom) flap switch. I was wondering if anyone makes a gizmo that would go into the circuit that would allow a single momentary push position the flaps into 10º then a second would move it to 20º and so on? Obviously the same going...
