The aircraft is a Koala (Fisher Products, all wood and fabric). Radio fitted is a Narco Com 810 with Telex headsets. (I know it's not...

I have a set of Original Cessna 140 aluminum wheel pants, brackets, and envelope of paper templates with dimensions to make other brackets. Came off my 1946 Cessna 140. I have since sold the plane and no longer need these items. These are to be placed in an ebay auction this Sept 11-16th under...

Does the marker beacon antenna HAVE to be the length stated in your manual or can it be scaled down? Reason I ask is I don't have the length available in my fuselage without going over large metallic objects. (Like a oxygen tank or rear tiedown mount.) Thanks for your support. -- Bart D....

Anyone out there have any experience with the Universal Engineering unit ?? I have a chance to purchase one but I know the company is no longer in business thus no support on the unit. Thought (hope) someone might have some insight. Merle

A Cirrus? You gotta be kidding me. I know, this is a quarterly topic for discussion, but I swear, EAA is becoming AOPA. I guess it pays better or something. When was the last warbird article in Sport Aviation? OK, how 'bout the last restoration of an antique by the owner (not by someone who...

Just a warning for those who might consider purchasing Rapco dry vacuum 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 on the shaft it...

I have seen some posts about leds but would like to tie it all together. I know of two sites showing their...
