I am doing some research into ultralight engines (planning to build one). The Rotax 912S and the Jabiru 3300 are the models i am looking into. Does anyone know how much it costs to maintain them? I just need very generic examples to get an idea. How much does it cost to overhaul them (one or the...

Asch 82T engine availability? by tffy
I was curious if anyone knew of availability and the source of the Russian Asch-82t 14-cylinder radial motors such as those used on the full-scale FW-190 copy built by some guys in Germany. I'm assuming that the row of engines they have aren't all rebuilds. (link below) Just curious, I guess... I...

About a dozen years ago I had several phone conversations with Lleon Davis. He sent me some literature and an 8 x 10 of the (DA -8?) TX-1. The plane has been built but Lleon offers no plans for the plane. Has anyone heard of someone who has bought this plane and will be offering plans for it? ...

homemade EFIS system and EMI by jcpearce
As a pet/learning project I made a data aquisition unit using an 8051 microprocessor and an EPIA M motherboard running a variant of Linux to process and display the information. It all works but the EMI from the EPIA M causes way too much noise to the aircraft radios. I have tried shielding the...

Got a pair of fuel-level senders and the cork floats have lost some of whatever it was that was painted on them. These will be in tanks with automotive gasoline. What should I use to seal them?
