I sold my mechanical Ruggles weigh scales and now am trying some digital automotive racing scales that are just a little more expensive. The scales I found are actually less expensive than normal racing scales but the real advantage is that they can be sold individually rather than a set of four....

Greetings all, I know this must've been discussed here before, but I couldn't find anything definitive one way or the other when searching with Google. A friend who's starting an amateur-built experimental aircraft project recently emailed me to ask if there's a list of the *minimum*...

I recently purchased the Sears "Professional" Lithium batteried driver drills. I purchased two because I was in the process of erecting a metal building. The batteries and charger worked good but the keyless chuck on both drills exhibit what I call "Auto Loosen". I have several other keyless...

It is more fuel efficient to drive a pick-up truck with its tailgate down, rather than up. Busted Driving with the tailgate down actually increased drag on the pick-up and caused it to consume fuel faster than the identical truck driven with the tailgate up. It was later revealed that the...

I believe Comtronics has a web site. Why not ask the maker? "Richard Riley" wrote in message ... I have a new Comtronics "Ultra Pro 2000" (doncha love that name?) helmet/headset. It's output is a single 1/4" plug with 3...

I am trying to piece together the process of vacuum bagging a CF part from several sources and comments. I am trying to achieve a glossy finish on the mold side of the finished part. I though that the gloss that I saw on a purchased part was achieved from GelCoat. The manufacturer tells me no -...

Does anyone here know if Lloyds 1088 Marine grade Okoume plywood would be a good replacement for Aircraft grade African mahogany? The Okoume used water proof glue and is boiled in water for 3 hours just like Aircraft grade plywood. The price of mahogany appears to be going through the roof and...

I want to move a glide slope antenna from a flush mount in a metal skin to a boat type on a carbon fiber fairing which will move the antenna about 5" below the metal skin. Will the antenna still work if it's offset from the ground plane like this? Thanks, -- J...

four point (square) sockets (and/or wrenches) who makes them, who retails 'em?
