recorcinal glue: catylst and timing by Michael Horowitz
I did some gluing yesterday at 70* and could have used just a bit more time before clamping the pieces. Can I gain more time by reducing the amount of catalyst? Can I gain more time by glueing at a cooler point in the day? - Mike

Flight Restrictions on non-amateur built experimental aircraft?? by Don W
Currently there is an "experimental" Bell 206 / OH58 helicopter on EBAY. I know that many of the L-39's and other warbirds are operated as experimentals since they were never certified in the US. My question is this: If you modify a production aircraft and call it

Were radials usually long-stroke engines? by [email protected]
Looking over the available illustrations on the net it appears that the typical radial aircraft engine had a stroke longer than the bore (undersquare). Is that right? It would make sense for high torque at lower RPMs. -- FF

Building a composite spar? by dirigible designer
My dirigible design requires a few long spars curved into C- shapes. They would be triangular cross-section with their three faces being about 3 feet wide and 100 feet long. They need to be light, strong and stiff. If anyone's has experience building large spars or frame members, I would...

Slotted Flaps Pitching Moment by J.Kahn
Been researching this but can't find a direct answer: Is the increase in nose down pitching moment from deployment of flaps any more for a single slotted flap vs a plain flap, all other factors being the same? If a design that used a plain flap was switched to slotted while keeping the areas...

Aircraft looking for help in the Chicago area by steveukman
Hi, I am N61LZ, a white Challenger CWS II. My builder/pilot may have to relocate to about 40 miles North of Chicago. I was wondering if there are any other aircraft in that area and if of you good folks could recommend any fields, hangers &c. for a CWS heading that way. I'll decide the location...

Press-To-Test Lamp by Ron Gordon
My Press-To-Test indicator light for my landing gear has three lugs on the back for three separate wires. Can anyone explain the appropriate hookup for these three lugs so that I'm sure to hookup the correct wire to each of the lugs? Thanks!

WAS: Laminating an Aileron Spar NOW: how much wood should I leave at narrowist point? by Michael Horowitz
Although I only have to add 1/4" to the edge of my spar to allow me to cut a bevel, if I use that minimum, when I cut the bevel, I will leave only the thinist piece of wood covering the joint. That strikes me as not good, so I'm thinking after the bevel I need a substantial thickness at the...

Wood Prop Question by Kyle Boatright
Those of us who fly behind (or in front of) wooden props usually reduce RPM significantly when entering rain. I reduce RPM to 1900 in rain, or I see minor damage, despite the urethane leading edges. For me, 1900 rpm results in a rotational tip speed of about 400 mph. This doesn't consider the...

Makin' Stencils by RST Engineering
When the big old BlueonBlue182 goes on an overnighter, it is much easier to carry "stuff" in those nylon drawtop bags than in suitcases, boxes, etc.. The drawback is that you can't really tell what is in the bag without pulling it out, opening it up, etc. (Please don't tell me to buy color...
