RANS S-9 Chaos loses a wing by Jim Logajan
Video of wing failure via AVweb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8cntPdRtk RANS S-9 loses a wing in an airshow doing aerobatics; pilot survives because plane is equipped with BRS and promptly deployed. Natural to wonder whether some earlier stunt actually partially cracked the spar.

'58 Complementary Triumph TR3 Motorcar by Jim Weir
My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals? Jim

Physics question by Rich S.
There is a (magic) B-17 flying along at 560 mph. The tail gunner is out of ..50 caliber ammo. He sees a Messerschmitt ME-109 crossing behind the B-17, 50 yards away. He pulls out his trusty .45 Colt auto (muzzle velocity 820 fps) and fires at the Hun when the ME-109 is directly behind the B-17. He...

Senate Bill S.786 could kill NWS internet weather products by FlyBoy
As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786 (see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of private sector...

Which Ultralight to build..... by WC
OK, was planning on building a Texas Parasol (as you've probably seen from my previous posts) but it's looking like it may not be a very good design for a legal 103. That being the case, what design to build. I spent a good part of my life as a mechanic, can weld steel and aluminum (stick, mig,...

Downloading Flying Music? by Jay Honeck
We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on long trips. I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always done it from tracks played off of another CD. Does anyone...

compound curves in plywood by BA-100
I'm considering building a replica of a 30's glider that was originally built in two halves, like a plastic model, but with pressed plywood halves. Duplicating this has been outside the reach of a homebuilder without some sort of press, and any made since have either been made out of fiberglass or...
