"Must Have" Tools for Christmas by
Eric Miller
"Must Have" Tools for Christmas
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal
bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings
your beer across the room, splattering it against that freshly painted
airplane part you were drying.

GOO to OSH on gasahol by
RST Engineering
I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that Gail and I are going to go from Grass Valley to
Oshkosh (via Iowa City) next month burning nothing but ethanol-laced
gasahol.
The bad news is that we are going to do it in a Subaru wagon.
Simple math. With the advent of gasahol the...

Airplane design. by
Stuart Grey
I was looking at the design of the Murphy Moose:
http://www.murphyair.com/
They put the cost at about 100k$, cheap compared to the two Cessna's and
the Bush Hawk to which Murphy compares the Moose:
http://www.murphyair.com/Product_Info/Super/compare.htm
From their engine page, half of that cost...

An odd thing about CAD... by
[email protected]
(aside from blank messages :-)
I use DeltaCAD, a simple 2D replacement for the traditional T-square
and triangles, to make patterns for parts, from a 56" rib to itty-bitty
things for home-made clocks, tiny steam engines and similar stuff. And
I talk about it, too. If you hope to share...

Jim Weir: help to add car radio to aviation audio panel music input by
Brian DeFord
Jim,
I've read your columns regarding aircraft electronics for years and I
just can't seem to get an answer for a problem I have. I'm trying to
connect a Alpine AM/FM/CD player in my plane to the music input of my
audio panel (a GMA340) The problem is that I can't hear the music
because the volume...

Dream Airplane poll by
Bob Babcock
I read the Kitplanes discussion and thought that a poll of this group
would be interesting and more relevant. Perhaps in response to two
questions;
What airplane do you own?
What dream airplane would you like to build and/or own?
My vote on both questions is the correct choice, of course.

At Dear Ol' AVL Airport, Asheville, NC by
jls
In order to be a flight instructor you need 5,000 feet hangar space, 1,500
feet office space, plus two airplanes, one of which must be IFR certified.
This is the official rule, in writing and enforced by the airport authority.
What this effectively does is exclude any competition for the one...

Dumb Canard Question. by
Russell Kent
Steven Johansen wrote:
Why are many Canard designs (Cozy , Eze's etc)
parked with their noses resting on the ground?
Is it simply to reduce wear on the Nose gear or
for a more esoteric reason?
The reason is because on those designs the static Cg is only

Corky's engine choice by
Corky Scott
Someone expressed surprise that I was now working on a Ford 3.8L V-6
for my engine. Last they'd heard, I was trying to find a certified
type.
I thought I'd bring everyone up to date. It's true that I had
basically given up on using an auto conversion as I was having trouble
justifying the cost...

Anyone still flying gyrocopters? by
[email protected]
I flew helos in the Marines, and in the '60s put together a Benson kit.
It logged about 220 hours with zero problems, including a highly idiotic
trip from the CA coast to Catalina. In 1972, however, my wife-to-be
insisted it go before the wedding bells.
Are any of these still around?

Replace fabric with glass by
Ernest Christley
Most of the fabric covered aiplanes I've seen didn't seem that hard.
That is, you could walk up to them and push the fabric in with your
hand. The way I understand the fabric process, it is basically a
composite structure. You have a nylon cloth with a paint "epoxy".
Could a much stronger and...
