Has anyone built one of the Zenith aircraft or dealt with them on a regular basis? I am curious to know if they are good with builder support. TIA, Curt -- Curt Fennell, curt at phins DOT com

Could having dropped a spark-plug (REM38E in a Lyc O-360-A2D) cause static in the radio when on one mag with none on the other mag? What other consequences might there be from a dropped plug? I've been wrestling with a static problem on one mag in the radio. I got some good advice here...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what alloy is used for the manufacture of aluminium nose bowls on aircraft such as the Luscombe or C-140 or J-3 Cub ? Also how are they made (hand beaten, drop hammer etc ??) I assume they are formed in the 'O' condition ? If so are the heat treated subsequent to forming...

I need to build a dozen outdoor canopies for an office building. I want to use structural aluminum channel, bolted with steel bolts. Where might expect corrosion to arise over the years, and would it be mainly in the aluminum or in the steel bolts? Thanks for any help. Please post here or email...

I'm repainting a fiberglass airplane. Sanding the wings, once removed from the plane is a fairly easy chore, however sanding the underside of the fuselage and strakes is going to be a major chore. A body shop near the airport has a soda blaster that they will let me use. I've heard of folks using...

I have a question for a DER who specializes in aircraft structural. It's a welding question. Anyone on line? - Mike

My buddy Ray Jarvis has completed and flown his Airdrome Aeroplanes Replica Nieuport 28. It's full scale and is powered by a 9-cylinder 150 hp Rotec Radial engine. Its debut was the Gardner KS Gathering of Eagles last weekend. I had a ball shooting aerial photos from the front seat of a...

I have an old Arc RT-385A from my Cessan 152 sitting in the closet that I'd like to turn into a basestation. Mostly so I can listen to airplanes going by overhead. Does anyone know of an electronics kit I can buy (or make), that could provide the 28v power, a headset jack and a PTT switch? I've...

I would like to hear from anyone with experience with this unit, good or bad. I would also like to know if their sizing as it is printed on their website, is accurate. I don't know if engine efficiency is a factor in the sizing, for instance, does a 180 hp Lycoming require the same size...

The EAA Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In is this coming weekend. It's being held at Front Range Airport (FTG) just south of Denver International Airport. This show has grown every year. When I went last year, I had a great time. If you're in the area on the ground or in the air, stop on by! You...

Can anyone tell me the difference between Smith's AW, SW and MW tips? thanks - MIke

Hi all, I always wanted to build my own airplane but the time and money has eluded me. So I've decided to design and build my own recumbent trike, with farings. This brings me to my question, if golf balls have dimples, to help them sail further, why don't wings -- especially for STOL aircraft? ...

I posted earlier regarding a Canadian alternate for 4130 steeel tubing but now require assistance when importing other aircraft supplies into Canada from Aircraft Spruce. When parcel arrives here in Canada, shipping, GST, duty and brokerage fees are incredibly high... Are there any secrets or...

G'day I have a three blade Warp Drive composite propeller that has clear tape on the tips. The tape needs replacing and I would like to know what I can use as a replacement. Any ideas?

Nothing earth-shattering, just an idle curiosity. Several years ago, I had to replace the Escort 110 in the Fly Baby with a radio that met the tightened FCC frequency specifications. I bought a heavy-duty power supply from Rat Shack to power it, and it now lets me listen to CTAF in my den. When...
