Im wanting to look at all the different planes there are for kit/ experimental planes. I was hoping to find a website that would have that kind of search ability. Can anyone help me find such a website? Cheers, Chris

The test pilot of the first flight of Boeings new jet liner was the co- pilot of the restored Boeing Stratoline that ditched in Elliot bay due to lack of fuel. Guess one screwup doesn't shortstop a career. Harry K

....and the plane pulls up on the earth. The air pushes up on the plane and the plane pushes down on the air; essentially transferring the earth's continuous flow of downward momentum acting on the plane to a much greater mass of air. That air keeps that downward momentum, diffusing it through...

admittedly it is an FA18 but it still comfirms classic lift theory http://www.airshowaction.com/axalp07/axalp07_227.jpg Stealth Pilot

If you can argue that "Having an accurate understanding of the physical processes of flight matters." _and_ "It is not important to an A&P instructor to know whether a gas gets hotter or colder when compressed."

I have some slightly used RV tools (for any metal aircraft project for that matter) to dispose of, rivet gun, rivet squeezer, bucking bars, clecos, etc., etc......most of the stuff was acquired from Avery tools for an RV project that was sold off. I'm selling for 1/2 the price seen in the 2004...

I sure would like see some detailed pictures of the Glasflugel 303 canopy mechanism. http://www.ssa.org/sport/PhotoGalleryDetail.asp?PhotoId=290 If you have any pictures or drawing, please email them to me . Thank you, Wayne http://tinyurl.com/N990-6F

Does anyone know if Temperfoam can be hot wired? Or is it considered a polyurethane - and should not be burned? Richard

I have got into plotting NACA profiles by computing. Humbly beginning with the simplest, which I presume to be NACA 4-digit, I found the Wikipedia page as a prime source of information. Plotting a symmetrical profile is not that hard: at regular intervals (=X along the chord), one calculates...

Hello, I buy the O200 pushrod kit. I don't have any RTV number on monting instructions. What are the specifications? Is any automotive RTV work?

Does anyone have a website source for fiberglass landing gear like the ones used on the Long-eze? Thanks.

Keys to flying in ground effect: -want sensitive control so can react quickly to "squirelyness" -large stabilizer (perhaps a stabilator) and longish tail boom -optimized control surfaces for good control at low speed -best to fly only in low wind -long tow rope to avoid turbulence of or crashing...

I was wondering it a loose fitting covering that becomes taut when flying might be possible. This would be for heavily "under chambered" airfoils, or is it better to glue or something onto the ribs. Has anyone heard of this before? Brock

I've had interest in aviation for a number of years, my uncle was a pilot and co-owned a New Jersey civil aviation airport for a number of years. He had a neighbor for a number of years who not only had a barn full of ultra lights and other cool stuff but a grass strip. I currently have a friend...

I was wondering if anyone here knows who the manufacturer of this helmet is? http://www.flickr.com/photos/33432533@N03/4117350181/ http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/79/l_e18a9b913301e6ba450b25a40f1a990a.jpg (Yes, there is a helmet in that pic...) Thanks.

Those involved in agriculture will know the Flying Vet. He has covered vast distances by air to visit his "patients", and also as a hobby crossed oceans in flimsy canvas-winged planes to reach Australia and America. However, when he lived in Guernsey he discovered crimes and reported them. He was...
