I was touring the LeMay Automobile Museum south of Tacoma today and took a picture of this car designed by a famous aircraft designer. http://tinyurl.com/mz5ju Juan point if you get it correct. Rich S.

Reading one of the piloting web/video services and came across this comment: "Still; there remains the specter of trouble ahead... as most of the better offerings at the USSAE (LSA aircraft) cost well over 100K... and we're not sure that there is a sustainable market for aircraft in that price...

To All: Recent posts have covered several aspects of propeller balancing, largely for the purpose of convincing those who have never carved a prop to give it a try. Posts have dealt on the benefits of using as many laminations as PRACTICAL, so as to ensure adequate stiffness in the finished prop....

I have a couple of Lawrance 5 cylinder mini radials. They were used as the APU electrical generator engine for the B-29 bomber, and perhaps for other ground power applications. They're about 24-30 inches in diameter, and weigh 60 or 80 pounds approx. They are cute as hell, and look like half size...

This past weekend I was doing my weekly trips around the pattern at the Covington, GA airfield (9A1.) While I was there, an experimental was doing some general flying around, including turning base, and then final as though landing but simply flew down the runway and never actually touched down....

Looks like the "Airplane on a Conveyor Belt" episode is scheduled for Wednesday night. In our area (Pacific NW), on Direct TV, it's on at Ten PM. Rich S.

interesting concept http://www.smartfish.ch/index.cfm/fuseaction/show/path/1-2.htm isn't it?

Hey Jim--would this meter work for the engine monitor?? http://www.mpja.com/email/03-28-07.asp?r=AZ173038#16565+te Jerry

On a wooden Super Cub (Light Miniature Aircraft) is one strobe on top of the rudder fin sufficient to make the FAA happy? Asking only about the strobe. I know I need position, tail, etc. Thnaks,

I am looking for a design with: 100-120hp engine, 600lbs plus useful load AND the baggage room for the load capacity, 130miles plus cruising speed. The useful load should be the real one already in use, not on paper. Seems Europa XS meets these requirement and can be much faster, though the useful...

Folks - 43-13-1B says an inner sleeve can be up to 1/16th inch smaller in diameter than the ID of the original tubing. When you slip the inner tube inside the original tube 1/16th turns into a lot of slop. Do you make any attempt to center the inner tube in the original tubing? If so, how? - Mike

I have a Collins VOR receiver and a connected Collins VOR/LOC display installed in the Emeraude. The receiver has an LED digital display for frequency or bearing. If I select, say, "from" I will get a display of the bearing from the VOR station. If I rotate the OBS on the panel VOR/LOC instrument...

These are the most wonderfully engineered oleo struts in the world. They are easy to rebuild and easy to service. Filling one with 5606 hydraulic fluid, however, is not best done by the book. You slip a tube which fits tightly over the schrader (with the stem removed) and the other end of the...

http://www.rcshowcase.com/html/engines/rcs400.html 20 lb, 23hp 400cc 5 clyinder radial. This engine has got to be getting close to bridging the gap between ultralight and RC (understanding it is expensive for an ultralight) What could you do with this? twin engine PBY ultralight? (twin...

I've noticed that a lot of aircraft put trim tabs on the trailing edges of the normal movable control surfaces. Wouldn't this just deflect the control surface to neutralize the forces and not affect much change except drag? It seems like you'd want to put the trim tab on the fixed part of the...

There seems to be some jealousy and bitter bigots trying to bad mouth this plane its ebay listing in addition to defaming me. This plane is priced to sell and built professionally and has hundreds of hour flown off of it safely. I refuse to have dialouge with any of these Keyboard Rangers...

Hello all, These may be a bit heavy for an ultra-light, but I guess whoever has an interest will know that better than I. I have in my garage, two Augusta 42hp twin horizontal crankshaft and cylinder gasoline engines in their factory crates. They were sold by Augusta to the National Research...

We had a cold front pass through Friday evening here in New England, and the forecast was for cool abeit windy weather for Saturday, with the cool remaining on Sunday but the wind diminishing somewhat. Great weather for sandblasting, I thought. Did I ever mention how much I hate sandblasting? ...
