Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to weed through all 1992 pictures I took. I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but at least they're broken up into...

It's been well over a month but we've consolodated our reports on the first annual Tunica (Mississippi) Air Races & Show at http://aafo.com/racing/2005/tunica_2005/ The new grouping of stories features all that we did on the event from first hearing of it early this year. Some pretty nice photos...

I'm looking to start a home built aircraft. Does anyone have any suggestions on which type of lumber to use that's a good alternative for sitka spruce? Thanks

One of the methods I want to try to reduce the noise of my Tailwind is to modify my exhaust pipe as described on page 101 in Bingelis' book "Firewall Forward." I have a couple of questions. 1) First, has anyone done this and how successful was it? 2) On pages 101 and 106 Bingelis says to bend the...

There are many homebuilts that have open truss type wooden fuselages built from square spruce sticks joined with plywood gussets. Typically the gussets are 1/8" plywood. Aircraft such as the Cavalier, Termite, Pietenpol. Somethings bugging me .... When it comes time to cover the fuselage what is...

I'm doing research on the speed distribution of homebuilts. It's easy to find published data on the fast airplanes, but I'm having a hard time finding anything on the slowest. Anyone have a suggestion?

A while back I remember seeing an article in one of the aviation magazines about the affect of squared off trailing edges on control surfaces of light planes. Anyone know where such an article might exist? So far I have found several Boeing and NACA publications on wings with blunt trailing edges,...

I have some scratches in my Plexiglas. What is the best product to use in order to remove them? They are not very deep, but they are irritating. Thanks, BJ

Hey all, Is there any way to peel ply a lay up with a lot of compound curvature, or a more "stretchy" peel ply variant?

I looked at a Taylorcraft today and it was missing both an Airworthiness Certificate and Registration. If I elect to purchase the a/c, how difficult is it going to be to get a new Certificate and Registration? - Mike

I thought that I understood the new Sport Pilot/Aircraft rules (first mistake) until I came across the fact that apparently you can buy a ready to fly CH601HD made by Zenair in the US that is registered as a sLSA, or you can buy the same ready to fly plane built by Czech Aircraft Works and register...

How-DEE! All'a ya'll pudknockers (and the few prime pilots too :^). First: Copping a quote from Twain, "the news of my death has been greatly exaggerated". Yes, I had surgery to remove a bladder tumor, but the tumor was not malignant (and THAT is GOOD news!) No kemo or rads required. But I...

Here is a link to the story in the local paper: http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050808/NEWS01/508080329/1006 I don't know the guy, airplane, or any other deails, I just live in the area. I looked up the address block of the crash site on mapquest.com and it is...

Jim, in your stuff would you have across reference for a sprague 200z641 dc-dc converter its used in a safe (af1-1) fuel flow instrument.. if I knew what the spec were I might be able to use something else or unless you have one. Its one of those "good buys" at the Oshkosh flymart- it would be...

Can a stroboscopic wheel balancer be adapted to balance aircraft propellers? TIA -- J Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com
