Anyone aware of a source for a 3 1/8 inch panel mount compass? This is for a vintage restoration in which the usual 2 1/4 inch Airpath looks out of place. Thanks Steve

Hello, I'm looking for a template for a 3 1/8" instrument. I know the aircraft spruce catalog used to have a page with templates, but my current catalog (2006) doesn't seem to have this page. What I'm looking for is a to-scale drawing of the hole needed to cut and the location of the mounting...

Whats the best 3 blade prop position on a 6 Cyl Franklin? The Ivo prop instructions only give an example for a 4 cyl IO-360 to place one blade on TDC position. That's where I placed it for the 6 cyl Franklin for now. ---------------------------------------------------- Paul Lee, SQ2000 canard...

I am currently running a 1986 v6 with a Northwest Aero PSRU. I was wondering when or if Ford changed the bolt hole pattern on bell housing. I have a 2001 mustang with the 3.8 and would like to maybe step up to fuel injection and the balanced intake. JIM

Well? Why not? Richard

I have this overwhelming urge to build a Lancair 360 so I'm searching for an unfinished kit that's in good condition. If you know of anyone with one of these beautiful aircraft that has been "orphaned" in the back of there garage or hanger kindly pass my name along to them. Thanks a bunch. Erik...

Does anyone have an old 360 Comm they'd let go cheap? I'd like to get a transistorized one that I could run with a 12VDC wall wart. My hangar is in a row perpendicular to the runway. I'm about in the center. That means I stop what I'm doing about every 10 minutes and go to the end of the row to...

I have a 1959 36HP VW engine and would like information and opinions on converting this for use in a small single place homebuilt. Also can anyone tell me or point me to a source of this engines HP and, more importantly, torque vs RPM curve. Thanks Claton

The most recent Sport Aviation has an article on make up hoses. The author states that 'you must use 37 degree fittings' and as is typical, gives no reason why. Is there a reason for this that involves the laws of nature, vs the "laws of the FAA"? -- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ "Ignorance is...

I need to make a dozen 37 degree flares in 1/8 stanless line for a brake system. My flaring tool only goes to 3/16. Spruce has the "Rolo-flare" tool that goes to 1/8" for $80 or so, but they say it's not for use with stainless. OTOH, the other vendors that carry the Rolo-flare don't say anything...

Do aluminum fuel lines need to be double flared (37 degree flaring)? A 37 degree double flaring tool is very expensive compare to the single flare type. I ran across this in a Car Craft magazine article: "Most tubing in the aircraft industry is extruded in one piece with no seam, so double...
