A different way to add filler (OA) by
mhorowit
In another thread, someone suggested Elza's "Aircraft Welding" as
a good read. I got it from Lindsey Publications and am finding it very
helpful. There is a section in the back devoted to step-by-step
exercises in learning different OA procedures/welds. The book was
apparently designed for students...

A Falco's wing by
Lou
Can anyone tell me what covering is used on a Falco?
I'm pretty sure it's plywood, but is it 100% plywood?
Anyone know how thick? Also, is there anything over the plywood like
dacron
or fiberglass?

A few thoughts on "Aircraft Engines" vs. the regular kind. by
Bret Ludwig
1. I love the people who say they can buy an Aircraft Engine for some
small amount of money and bolt it on and go flying. What they mean is
that after decades of search they managed to flam some widow out of an
engine for a tenth market price, they bought some oddball no one wants,
or they have an...

A friend of mine is building a Legacy and has a question.... by
John Ammeter
Hey, ask anyone on the rec homebuilt group if they've ever built any
Lancairs and then ask them if they used a 1 degree toe-in on the main
landing gear for the 320, the Lancair 4 or the Legacy. I test drove
mine today and almost lost control of it in yaw on the runway because
it's dead nuts on...

A GPS Question? by
Frederick Wilson
Hello all,
Short of looking through the docs of all the possible GPS' out there I
am hoping I can get a general, if not, specific answer to the following.
Do any of the handheld aviation GPS' have the capability to display
location in UTM, MGRS, and different datums such as NAD 27 or WGS84?

A loss for the community by
Dave S
Paul Connor, a builder from Mobile, Alabama, was killed this weekend
after a loss of power in his Rotary Engine powered SQ-2000 canard aircraft.
Paul was as active participant in several online forums, but I must
admit not this one. He had owned 7 airplanes over his 30 years of flying
experience....

A P-47 just flew over by
Bill Daniels
I was in the back yard working on my bird when I heard a soft but very
unusual sound overhead.
Looking up for the sound, there was a silver P-47 at very low power
descending for a pattern entry at Centennial Airport, Colorado. (APA) I
don't know what is going on but that was a very nice airplane...

A Post-Christmas Shopping Hint by
Ron Wanttaja
Department stores like Penney's, Macy's, etc. tend to get in small tool
kits for sale as gifts at Christmas. After Christmas, these go on sale
for half-price or less.
Now, the tool quality of these kits is generally very low. However, one
item they often sell is a small battery-powered...
