I want to install a foil antenna for the VOR receiver. I'd like to install the antenna ( foreswept " V " ) either on the underside of the Canard wing or the main wing. My question is, after I solder the foil to the two wires, how do I get the torroids and coax back to the fuselage to run to...

I have yet to decide what epoxy to use on my steel fuselage, so I have no literature on how to prep the metal. Part of my decision making is _where_ to do the work. If I have to use MEK or like solvent, I don't want to do the work in a semi-enclosed area; if a dry wipe-down or alchol is...

I'm looking for the manuals (Parts, Service, etc.) for a Lycoming C-22 GPU.

Has anyone here done or considered 10:1 pistons for an E-series O-320. I have read the articles on how an E series differs from the others, but I am not sure that this closes the door on the subject. For example, if one was mostly interested in takeoff power or power at altitude... I am sure it...

Can someone ‘splain this to me? I have no idea if I have it right, or not. As I understand it, maneuvering speed is the speed above which the aircraft may be damaged due to full control movements. Below that speed, the plane will stall before damage occurs. I also understand that maximum...

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

http://www.airventure.org/2007/news/070503_movie.html Something is very wrong when the cheesy movie Top Gun wins over 12 O'clock High, Waldo Pepper, and Spirit of St. Louis. It shouldn't even be on the list among the other great movies. I think the vote was rigged! In my opinion Top Gun is one...

I read ( somewhere ) a few months ago that Warp Drive was considering using the new Sensenich composite propeller blades on their hubs. I can't find any info about this on the Warp Drive website. Has anybody heard of any info. about this? Thanks Neal

Somewhere in my aged memory cells I seem to recall a story about Burt Rutan and John Rontz collaberating to mount an engine on a sheet of plywood and tether "flying" it to illustrate that anything will fly with the correct AOA. I'm not finding any references on the search engines, truth or myth?

A few (10-15) years back Mick Myal published a knock detector circuit that used an auto knock sensor , an amplifier/filter circuit & a warning light. I had a copy & lost it --anybody still got a copy? Any reply most graciously appreciated. Jerry

http://www.ionaircraft.com/Toucan.jpg The GREEN (aluminum) parts need polishing. What's a good 1-2-3-4-5.... step process for polishing up the aluminum wings - for OSH? http://www.ionaircraft.com/engineering.html This will be my first time doing this, so don't skimp on the details please.

After 33 years in the hot sweaty UW-O dorms, Gail and I decided to venture far afield to see what was available in the area. One of our brethren in this ng emailed me about a very nice Bed'n'Breakfast he found in Waupaca. I checked it out and it seemed like a hell of a deal. $100 a night for...

Whatever happened to the 3 surface trainer that (as I recall) had the foils designed by Roncz. I seem to recall the the indonesians or malaysians had invested in it but don't recall what happened after that. Pat

How deep is the hole a "bayonet" type CHT probe fits into? I don't like the spark plug senders, and want to drill the cast-in boss for a CHT sender to suit the probes commonly available, but without a probe in hand, I can't tell whether this is possible. Anybody who can answer this question...

Guy comes by the shop hoping to bum me outta some ammo for his machine gun and finds me stitching a spar together with a gnu-matic brad- driver & foamy glue. He's okay watching me smear on the glue. And he's still happy when I put the plywood into place, aligned by a couple of 3/4" #20 nails...
