Not wanting to restart the previous discussion on how ethanol is made and how much is in which fuel, available where, the question I am interested in is; does anyone know what effects ethanol will have on: tanks - metal / composite fuel systems - tubing/electric pumps/carbys Engine - serviceability...

I have a Terra TN200 VOR with GS, Tri-Nav indicator, tray, wiring harness and maintenance manual. The local Avionics shop is loath to test and yellow tag it since they're not set up for Terra. I don't want to send it to Eastern Avionics for yellow tag so it is priced accordingly. I live fairly...

That's a valid point and room temp beer in the UK often is fresh from the cellar where temps are certainly lower. I didn't think a still Lucas joke would stir things up so much, I expected the Canadian hockey joke would have gotten more attention. ;o) tONY "Veeduber" wrote in...

Hi Everyone, I am building a "SOPWITH CAMEL" full scale which I intent to sale. Would you know by any chance any other sites where I could put an add? Pictures available Thank you for your assistance. doowrik

I am remimded of a quote that said, "when otherwise intelligent people do stupid stuff, there is usually politics involved". So not only do we pay more for less power in out auto fuel... http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2007/06/25/cost-of-milk-kicked-up-by-demand-for-ethanol

Well folks I am struggling here. I know what I want to build but I am having trouble justifing starting the project. This is what I have going on. New baby coming in January (I'm excited). Trying to complete the new master bedroom (Make room for new baby). Going to school. And am a national...

We're looking at installing landing lights on our Rans S6S. The ones offered by Aircraft Spruce are a bit big, about 5" diameter. I'm trying to find something a bit smaller but equally effective. Does anyone here know what (if any) requirements a landing light has, such as beam angle,...

Anyone in the fiberglass / aluminum sheet metal industry ( or other successful enthusiasts ) interested in contributing to some experimentation. If you are interested, and willing to have the results released to the public, I think we could make a real contribution to this debate & perhaps offer...

Anybody got a 214 service manual that I can borrow for a week. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable "rental" plus send a reasonable deposit plus shipping to get it. I freely admit...to blundering and misreading and then using the KI-211 pinout to wire the interconnect to the 170B. Here's some free...

Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

Hi Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...

Dear fellow aviation enthusiasts, I recently purchased X-Plane and had such an interesting experience that I thought I'd share (see http://home.nc.rr.com/bshankle/xplane.html). I am curious if any of you have had an experience anywhere close to mine? Sincerely, Bruce Shankle

that has about 100hp, can fly basic aerobatics safely and cruise at least 150mph. My reference and comparison of this design is Cessna A150. I want a design that has the same aerobtic capability as Cessna A150 with lighter control(Stick of course!), and flys much faster. What I can think of...

Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down behaviour? I tried a google search without much success. Having seen the Charley pictures from Orlando Executive and Punta Gorda, I'm wondering if we are doing the right thing. The standard for tricycle gear GA planes seems to...

Trading off tandem vs side by side seating I came upon an idea I wanted to run by the group. The mission my aircraft needs to perform is mostly a single place weekend out and back kind of mission, with an occasional 2 person XC trip. I'd been homing on the tandem seat config because I like the...

William Wynne and his talented team helped me achieve a successful breakin on my '65, 100hp "Airvair". His manual was my bible and other than one slightly misadjusted valve, a couple of initial oil leaks and a balky carb, things went well. Whatever tools, etc that I had forgotten to bring were...

rec.aviation.homebuilt U shaped wings Some time ago there was a magazine cover showing a twin engine aircraft with a U shape in each wing. The U's curved downward then up again with engines and props within the U. When did that occur and what magazine was that; anyone know? A vague memory...

I am toying with teh idea of using a single-rotor turbo-normalized mazda with reduction-drive and was wondering if there are any builders out there who have checked out the same possibility? I'm only looking for around 100-120 hp, with weight an obvious consideration. The only name I have heard of...
