DIY Two-Stroke Engine Construction Methods by durabol[_2_]
The two main methods for homebuilt construction would be casting vs. machining or some combination of both (probably the best option). Forging probably isn't appropriate for home construction (either the piston or connecting rod). One method I have thought of is to produce a wax model of the...

effect of changed thrust line. by [email protected]
How does a person determine what the proper height of an engine should be when building an airplane? If a particular engine design mandates the prop is 4 inches, say, lower than where it would be with the engine originally installed, what effect will it have on handling, and what changes in...

Why 4130 tube? by Leon McAtee
Why do we homebuilders use 4130 tube? My old Aeronca does just fine being made of mild steel. A bit of napkin calcs says that going up just one tube diameter for the size tube we normally use, the area, and the strength/weight goes up between 15% and 20%. This pretty much offsets the difference...

Dimples On Model Aircraft Could Greatly Extend Range by Bret Cahill
Have they tried dimples on radio controlled aircraft? The size and speed could designed around the magic Reynolds number = 100,000 where the coefficient of drag drops precipitously. Dimpling could vastly extent the range of large and slow as well as small and fast radio controlled aircraft. A...

VWs by [email protected]
I had posted a link to a vid of a 701 weaving through the trees over on .piloting. At some point down the line I expressed interest in a VW powered 701. One guy said he figured a VW would melt down in an aircraft cowling when producing no more that 50HP. He provided a link to Bob Hoover's blog,...

IVO props... comments.. by Dave S
I am involved with the building of a velocity, and questions are flying around about propeller choice. For in-flight adjustable, we are limited at this time to an electric control, such as MT or IVO.

Master contactor question by rich[_2_]
My homebuilt's master contactor is going bad. Sometimes when I turn it on it doesn't make connection. It's got 1700 hours on it, so I'd just as soon replace it. But the way the builder wired it, he's has positive power from the battery going through the master switch to the small terminal on the...

Constant Speed Prop vs Variable Engine Timing by Jay
Seems to me that some of the benefits of the constant speed prop were based on the limitiations of timing (ignition and valve) of the Lyco/Conti engines. If your engine was designed to have a large dynamic range of efficient operation, you won't need the articulated prop as much.
