Ivo Prop Blades - question by
Dave S
This may be a silly question, but at the moment I am having a difficult
time visualizing this in my head...
Are the IVO prop blades able to be "reversed" with regards to direction
of rotation (counter-clockwise to clockwise) and still provide thrust
properly..?

engine oil pan. I put a disc there and welded it shut (from outside).

Fowler flaps? by
TJ400
I am presently in the process of converting a PA-22 to a Sportsman 2+2.
Plans call for new wings to be buillt from scratch and I am
considering the use of Fowler flaps rather than conventional for
greater lift, reduced stall speed, steeper landing approach and better
angle of attack/ visibility...

HKS 700E Engine Reviews? by
acepilot
Is anybody on the list using the two cylinder (4-stroke) HKS 700E
engine? It's about the perfect size for an upcoming project (Georgias
Special) and I'm wondering about its reliability, toughness, etc.
compared to say a 1/2 or full VW. The original Georgias used 28 HP, so
a 1/2 VW would work and...

Can you help identify this airport? by
Video Guy
Hello
My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify.
It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that
's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we
just aren't sure.

diameter 2117 rivets.
Avery and Tatco sell nice hand squeezers. Avery is better...
