G'day from Australia I am looking for a Scott 3200 tailwheel for my Murphy Rebel. I would be pleased to know if anyone has one under their workbench that they would like to sell, or where I just might find one. Thanks and regards

Hi - I'm looking for any information about the airship built and flown by Disney at their park in Florida (I think) in the 1980s. The gondola was a tube frame, it had a rotax engine and fan in the back, a water ballast system, single occupant/pilot flew at the very front. Any information, specs,...

I desperately need a $20,000 loan to get my credit back into shape. It's out of control and I need at least $1,000 right now just to keep a roof over my head. Name your interest. Or, if you just want to help... you can paypal me -- Thanks a bunch.

Another great OSH. The number and quality of the exhibits seems to improve each year. I especially like the Miller Welding trailer. My girlfriend even got to play with the plasma cutter, and she liked it (maybe helping me justify a future purchase ;-)... We met the MotoArt guys (from the now...

Well, not exactly free. I have a hummelbird thet is pretty much ready to fly, but, I didn't build it and I am not an engine guy. I would like to find someone that would take part ownership in the plane in exchange for their engine expertise. I am located in Elk River MN. My email address is...

About a dozen years ago I had several phone conversations with Lleon Davis. He sent me some literature and an 8 x 10 of the (DA -8?) TX-1. The plane has been built but Lleon offers no plans for the plane. Has anyone heard of someone who has bought this plane and will be offering plans for it? ...

I got to thinking the other day on the way to work... would it be feasable to implement: 1. A set of speedbrakes, say on the fuselage of something like an RV-6, operated by a parking-brake style handle (where the flap handle currently is, necessitating electric flaps)? Could be useful if...

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/2005_oshkosh.htm Finally! Take a peek here to put faces with names of these rec.aviation regulars: - Montblack - Jack & Steve Allison (and plane) - Jim Weir & Gail Allinson (and plane) - Edwin & Jim (& plane) - Jim from NC

I may have an opportunity to trailer a Taylorcraft, and am looking for picks of how others have moved the fuselage and wings. If you have pics of how someone did it, I"d appreciate seeing them. You may e-mail them to Thanks, Mike

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of "normal" modern fabric coverings (doped and painted polyfiber) vs. the stitched, zippered sailcloth coverings (dacron, others?) on many ultralights and new LSA airplanes? How are the sailcloth coverings attached? The Aventura 2-place homebuilt...

My brother Ed and I stopped in to see Chuck at the CGS booth last week. He let us sample some Muzzleloader, which I'd never had, since he missed the one Pinkneyville flyin I got to so far. I think we had less than two tablespoonsful each in the bottom of little paper cups. I'm not...

I'm seeing massive amounts of spam on this group, is this just on my newsserver or all around? It doesn't show up on any other newsgroups on this server. My guess is that a subscriber to rah has it's system infected with a spambot virus... Could everyone check/update their vurusscanner...

I just had an email from a feller that used my Oshkosh frequency list and he said: 133.85 and 126.6 both seem to be used by the Warbirds Airboss. Those will let you know when explosions are coming. If anybody has any more updates, I'm ready to take them and refresh the list.

Anyone ever had anything to do with this plane, I really like it. Just wonder about the gear used on modern versions. Such as what type wheels /brakes? I actually like the original simple rubber/washer combination in the landing gear itself. Any experiences? -- Patrick Dixon student SPL aircraft...

Fly Baby plans are now available again. The cost has risen to $145, but it does include both the monoplane and biplane sections, and the plans set has a new lay-flat binder. Pete hadn't raised the plans price in the last twenty years, and when they surveyed the market, they found that most...

I was at Oshkosh on Sunday and Monday and took a few pictures. I posted some of them a couple of days ago but have added an option to click on a picture as a "thumbnail" for an expanded view of that picture as well as some others that are related. I have posted a couple of pictures of an Innodyn...

What's the best noice cancelling eletret mic for high- noise, open cockpit operations (Rotax 503 tractor prop 5 feet out in front of windshileded cockpit)? Flightcom has their A7A.1, Sigtronics has their M81-H, and then there's all these others, like M54, M55, M56, M90, M7A, M4, PA-4, PA-9, etc....
