I am trying to buy a piece of property that will allow me to have a 3000' (or so) grass runway. We would build a house on the property that would be our only residence. I have been looking around for some home plans that incorporate a hangar attached to the home, but have not had much success. I...

Today was proof that keep parts safely tucked away until needed is a good idea. The Dyke Delta has a universal joint halway down the torque tube, and it uses a big one...a MS20271-B14. One of these puppies will run you nearly $100 bucks, brand spanking new from the likes of Aircraft...

Does anyone know where to find insturment images, I know about the epanelbuilder.com site but either I forgot how to save the images or I imagined that you could print them full sized. I want to be able to rearrange the images on the panel mock up in the fuselage. Thanks. Bruce

G'day Our small Club is going to have a fly-in soon and we would like to have some flying competitions. Would anyone have any ideas as to what we could do? I have heard of spot landings and limbo, but really don't know how to set them up.

I've started a Yahoo group for people who are interested in the Rotec Radial Engines. I've uploaded an "E-Drawing" of the engine to the files section. With the free viewer available from Solidworks, you can zoom, rotate, measure and add comments to the model. You can also export an STL if you want...

"Although many pilots wouldn't buy a plane with fewer than four seats, the dirty little secret is that many if not most of us fly alone a lot. An Arizona ranch hand has introduced a downright neighborly concept for putting like-minded pilots together that not only helps people out, but...

Any tried the Safety Cell system that allows you to use your cell phone with your aviation headset? http://store.yahoo.com/pilotsupport/index.html

This is for a hypothetical ultralight design, so just looking for suggestions here of where to look at... hopefully a 4-stroke, purchase price doesn't matter much, certification status doesn't matter either. Long time before overhaul matters A LOT... so, the longer the better. Is there anything out...

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...

Is there an existing design (besides the Mustang and Spitfire scale replicas) that would nicely take an iron block SBC with a belt redrive? I figure that would be very popular with builders with hot rod backgrounds, especially a two seater like a little T-6/Vibrator/Provost trainer. True a smaller...

1. What is the difference between the CENTURION 1.7 and the TAE 125? These are the same engines. The TAE 125 is the model of the engine certified and found on the data plate. The CENTURION 1.7 is the brand name of the engine. 2. What kind of fuel do the CENTURION 1.7 and CENTURION 4.0...

After looking for a reasonably priced aircraft I came across the T-10 from Ukraine. It seems pretty rugged. I wonder how much trouble it would be to inport and license as LSA since it meets the LSA criterea. There is a picture at http://www.firmatmm.ua/~en/ENG/94/ . It has a stainless steel tube...

Does anyone here know much about the Harmon Rocket II? I've been looking at it, and it concerns me in the fact that the cockpit demensions look a little snug. It has enough room in width, but the distance between the front and back seat seems too close, as does the distance of the instrument panel...

I had a tentative deal to sell a set of drawings for a Dyke Delta to anther gentleman. These drawings were purchased by my father from John Dyke shortly before my father suddenly died. My father got no further than the purchase of the drawings, he never had time to even clean out a space in his...

Some time ago someone on this group was looking for a Long Eze project to complete. Just thought I would pass on that e-bay has one listed.

I got a IVO magnum prop in-flight adjustable - no spinner. Did anyone do a dynamic balance on one of these? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SQ2000 canard http://www.abri.com/sq2000

Saw this in AvWeb today (pasted below) http://www.pilotsharetheride.com/ Two questions: 1. What kind of plane is that on their home page? 2. Has anyone here used this service? "Although many pilots wouldn't buy a plane with fewer than four seats, the
