Gentlemen (and ladies too). What can you tell me about this...

Can someone ID this airplane? http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1093439/ No, not the gyro in front of it, the plane behind the gyro with the twin boon. Three brownie point to the first enthusiast able to ID this plane. Thanks, Wil

I am planning to buy a factory-built LSA within a few months. All the aircraft I am considering will be built by companies with a history of selling kits - e.g., Rans, Kolb, Kitfox, etc. Any homebuilders out there have any opinions about any of these companies and their products? Thanks

I have a SLSA on order which uses a Rotax 912 engine. The owner's manual for this aircraft specifies that the engine should be preheated when the temp falls below 41 degrees F. I see that both Tanis and Reiff have engine-intalled preheaters available for the 912. Anyone have any experience with...

I like the concept of modern composites with powerful yet fuel savvy engines(read $5 100LL!!), with a cost that is less than the house, and built times less than the time left on my medical...curious if the Vision lives up to the hype or if there are any other similar kits out there that can...

I would like to make the pilgrimage to Oshkosh this year. If anyone wants to travel together from Toronto, I wouldn't mind tagging along or if someone wants to drive out with me, I wouldn't mind the company. I would like to leave either July 31 or Aug 1. I can be reached at :

What caused the accident at OSH? I heard the front plane, which had a slower stall, touched down first instead of second.

I saw the Titan T-51 down at SnF this year and I've been thinking about it ever since. I like it a little more than the RV-8 at the moment even though it's not as fast and costs more initially. What do you folks think about the T-51? Does anyone know someone who is building one? Do they have or...

For a Continental 0-300. Flange uses 8, 3/8 bolts. Had the torque value written down but cant find it and memory fails. Any help appreciated. Warren

Ok, we have roasted the Mini 500, how about the BD5? First things first, forget the jet. So few people could ever afford such a thing it hardly seems viable from the get-go. But why has such a popular design (on paper) found so little success? Thousands of people instantly fell in love with it...

One of my kids is enlisting in the military. She is requesting training as an aviation mechanic. Does anybody know if the schooling and experience in the military would have any value when attempting to get an A&P certificate from the FAA? Thanks

In appearances on the TV talk shows, GOP candidatesHerman Cain and Texas Gov. Rick Perry pointed to their respective plans to simplify the federal tax code as key to economic growth. "This plan is about getting people back to work, putting confidence in the American entrepreneur to know that the...

Hi All, As posted before, I have a com 11A that I would like to get in proper operation. I have the pinout info thanks to this group and have sound coming from it. However, most noise is coming from the internal circuitry verses signal from the antenna. Does someone have the interface info for...

Hi again all, I asked for a listing of the Narco 11A pinouts and received same from one of you gentlemen. Well, no bull****, my pit bull chewed it up before I was able to make use of it. I understand that the 120A has the same pinout as the 11A, so if some one would take pity on me and resend this...

Hi All, I bought the above radio on Ebay for the ultralight that I am building. Anyway, I'm hoping that I didn't do anything dumb in choosing this older radio. I didn't receive any pin out information from the guy that sold it to me, and I'm assuming that he just plugged a newer set into the...

Would anybody post in here if there were a fly-in to talk about?

I know this will not do much for unbelievers, But I have no problem believing that an 1835 engine with a belt reduction system would fly an airplane with a takeoff weight of 1050lb's.. The performance didn't look to be that bad either. I think a good 1835 vw engine with reduction can do...

Hi my friend, I would like to share with you this opportunity of making extra income stream which i've found on the Net. The site is called Studio Traffic, it pays you just for surfing the net for less than an hour per day. The best part is that you do it with its autosurf program...
