Hello All: I have 10-32 screws with 8s size Tennerman Washers as attach fittings. The cowling holes have worn slowly but surely and now I know it is time to fix this vibration problem. I like the size of the 8s but I suspect I really should use 10s. They are unpainted and not bonded to the cowling....

Well, of course we weren't through by nine, and at one point I looked back, and...

Hello, Has anyone seen any data/research showing the performance gains of filling the fiberglass weave of a composite aircraft such as a KR-2? For example, if a KR is built with a RAF-48 or NACA wing (non-laminar), if layups were done over a smooth substrate (smooth foam), and the weave of an...
