Elegant engineering by Bob Chilcoat
In the latest Air & Space magazine is a surprisingly technical article on the spar problems on the T-34 Mentors. It shows how Mentor wings (and I presume Bonanza and many other Beech wings) are assembled. Instead of being riveted completely together they are in three main pieces. (1) A main...

removing old, dried, masking tape by Michael Horowitz
Someone used masking tape many years ago to cover some screwheads on my leading edge. Pulling it off only gives me strips of masking tape. Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff? - Mike

Next Time I Do Fabric Work on an Airplane by Larry Smith
I'll use Airtech, not Stits, now known as Polyfiber. The latter is a great process, don't get me wrong. It's just that Airtech is better, simpler, easier and produces superior results. *And* it lasts and lasts. Take a look at a 10- or 15-year-old Airtech cover and you'll see why. As for...

Would you install lights? by Lou
I'm getting close to covering my wings. I don't currently fly at night and could even say that I have no intention on flying at night. However I had no intention on getting married either. Would anyone install lights anyway or just limit yourself to flying in the daylight. Lou

JB Weld or Hi Temp RTV silicone oil crack fix. by Paul Lee
The Franklin engine I rebuilt came with an odd ball cast aluminum oil pan with a big shaft access hole in back. May have been a helicopter engine oil pan. I put a disc there and welded it shut (from outside). But the weld is dripping some oil especially when hot. I am planing to take out the oil...

I have designed and built a headphone adapter/transformer for some custom-molded in-ear headphones that offer excellent noise isolation (passive). I actually use them as a musician. In the plane, they sound very nice and are quite comfortable. So - what I want is a boom mic. I've actually...

Metal fatigue in Lycoming engines limiting its TBO? by Wolfgang
Is anyone aware of statistical or other data that would indicate what percentage of engines make it well beyond the factory specified TBO, and how much longer they can be flown safely? I worry about sudden engine failure due to metal fatigue. Many of the small Lyc. engines have a TBO of around...

HKS 700E Engine Reviews? by acepilot
Is anybody on the list using the two cylinder (4-stroke) HKS 700E engine? It's about the perfect size for an upcoming project (Georgias Special) and I'm wondering about its reliability, toughness, etc. compared to say a 1/2 or full VW. The original Georgias used 28 HP, so a 1/2 VW would work and...
