Hi, Just returned from Oshkosh home to Pierre SD. I filled up at Dodge Center MN this AM and not being familiar with the self serve gas fillup, I did not hang up the pump handle properly. Somebody after me continued pumping another $150 on my credit card ($200 instead of about $50). My...

There was a posting somewhere on how to modify a JC Whitney sprayer into a Corrosion X fogger. Anyone heard of it?

Please just send me all that free money. Gonna need it. I found a tablespoonful of metal filings in the oil filter.

My four tailwheel unit auctions on ebay have not even reached half of the new prices of tailwheels. It seems that you can get a great deal and save hundreds off the new replacement cost. If you can machine the bronze oilite bushings on a home lathe, you can restore three Maule tailwheels, sell two,...

This past Sunday seemed like a good day to test run the V6 and see how it cooled on a day forecast to be over 100 degrees. The coolant temperatures and pressures were OK (195 @7#, oil temp 210). This was the first time I measured the exhaust gas temperature. Ranged from 1275 to 1500 degrees F. ...

Will a metallic paint interfere with the strength of signal with impeded antennas in a composite airplane? I have a small transponder antenna and a Comm antenna bonded to the inside of the fuselage. Will a metallic paint and the presence of aluminum chips screw up the strength of signal in...

I have a composite kit aircraft, and it is time to paint! But I just hate the idea of painting it WHITE (like most all the others). I understand that HEAT is a big factor in this decision, and that white attracts the least amount of heat which could disrupt the Epoxy over time. Since my plane...

I'm lookin for an A&P close to Nut Tree Airport who can do a pre-purchase inspection of a Tailercraft. Suggestions appreciated - Mike

Hey Chuck. . . Linda axed me to give you her regrets that she isn't coming with me to Oshkosh this year. She also wondered if I could bring back a sample of Muzzleloader so she could toast you in absentia. Shall I bring a specimen cup? She said the berry is her favorite. Rich S.

Has anyone come up with an estimated cost of a sport pilot license versus a regular pilot's license. Then would it be reasonable to add the requirements for a pilot's license later? Any thoughts and comments are appreciated. Gary

If I was going to try to fly to OSH and back for a day this coming week - what is the best day to attempt? I know the aircraft parking gets full quickly, and the flying hours are restricted by the airshow. Thoughts?

I hear they are having a little fly-in at Oshkosh next week. Is there a way to listen to ATC over the net. Could not find any info on the EAA site. Thanks

Tonight I'm going to install a prop on my plane (Pietenpol with a Continental A-75) and go up for a quick flight. I've never done a prop install before, so I want to make sure I get it right. I figured I'll torque the bolts, run the plane for 10-15 minutes on the ground, check the torque, take it...

I'm in the early stages of the homebuilding disease :-P and still don't know exactly what I want to build, just that I want to build something. I'm interested to know what people have done in their aircraft to reduce the interior noise level? Can such noise insulation be added to plan or kit built...

I think we could coexist with Vette on 123.3 with handhelds on the field during Oshkosh, but I just did a fairly detailed search for 123.5 and found no takers within twenty miles. THEREFORE, let's make that rah/rap on field coordination frequency 123.5 and don't give your kids the transceiver to...
