I am trying to build your project from the May 2005 KitPlanes. Need to know what the value for R107 as it is not on the schematic. Many Thanks, Larry

Does anyone know if a Continental O-200 or a C-75 rear accessory case will fit an A-65? Reason for asking is that I'm wanting to add a starter and a generator. Thanks, Monty

Buy this great 172G so I can roll the money over into another project. I have been working on it for a dam* year and a half. Keeps me out of flame wars. You should see the powder-coated control wheels, what flashy little darlins they are. Better description in rec.aviation.marketplace. Pride of...

Last time I was there I parked my airplane in the homebuilt parking and camped next to it. I am wondering if a friend flew in with me in a production aircraft, could we park together in the homebuilt parking or would they have to go off with the production parking. Can you camp in the production...

I've not been to Oshkosh on the first weekend, always later in the week. Can you walk around looking at planes (for free) on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th? Show opens on Monday, July 25th. When do they start charging 'gate admission' at Oshkosh? What's open/available the first weekend vs. what's...

I'm looking at an older Kit Fox and when I went through the log book there's no entry that the Phase One testing was completed and yet the plane has been flying for the last few years and has a couple hundred hours on it. They have no idea how to get hold of the original builder. Has anyone dealt...

So I'm doing dry clearance on the lifters and one pushrod is jammed up tight against the toe of the rocker arm, even with the lifter collapsed. Says the A&P/IA, "You didn't collapse the lifter." "Oh, but yes, I did." "How?"

I finally got my Ford V-6 going again after partially dismantling it to repair a cracked timing chain cover. As I mentioned previously, I'd noticed the crack in the timing chain cover the first time I assembled the engine, but "repaired" it that time using some metalized epoxy that was...

A friend with an RV-6 and one of those beautiful wooden props dinged it up with a rock or some kind of FOD. The damage left a half-inch notch about 15 inches inboard of the tip, so he filled it with epoxy and went on like nothing happened. One day he was at altitude over Rutherfordton playing...

We have a year round 2 Bedroom Cottage located on a quiet lake 50 miles west of Oshkosh in Waushara county. Rent is $125/night or $700/week. e-mail if you are interested.

I've spent the better part of an hour and a half on the net searching, tried to get into the ABS site which appeared to be down, spend several hours searching through what manuals I have, but I couldn't find the torque required for the spark plugs in an IO-470N. I did find the torque values for...

I'm hoping the home built community can assist me with a small problem. I own a glider that does not fly straight without applying a little constant cross control (L stick and R rudder). If hands are removed from the controls, it slips (or yaws?) to the left, and then the nose gently swings around...

Anybody know of fuselage jigs in the Western North Carolina area or vicinity? Also, this aircraft had an O-235 engine with 105 HP. I'm considering using an O-320A with 150 HP, which weighs just 10 or 20 pounds more. Anybody got any advice pro or con about the engine change? TIA.
