Problem with auto alternators by
abripl
One known problem is that aircraft engines turn CCW looking at the prop
but auto alternators have cooling fins optimized for CW. But thats not
apparently as much a problem as the pulley nut potentially comming
loose. For CW rotation the engine torque will tend to tighten the
pulley nut but for CCW...

Looking for a ready made 13VDC electronic switch, that switches a

Real time continuous Prop balancing by
abripl
This thread is not about how to balance a prop or shop balancing
machines.
Did anyone use BalanceMasters device bolted on their ultralight prop?

Problems with Rapco dry vacuum pumps. by

pumps. Make sure that your engine does not leak oil. If there is any
chance of an oil drip onto the Rapco vacuum pump it may eventually stop
working. The connecting shaft is vented to air. But if some oil drops

High altitude & RPM by
abripl
At higher altitudes (non-turbo piston engine) is it more efficient for
power/economy to use medium or max RPM? There is much less air there
and if the RPM is too high will it be starving more than at lower RPM?

Weigh scales by

I sold my mechanical Ruggles weigh scales and now am trying some
