Hello All, I am getting ready to order the kit for RV-9. I would enjoy hearing from the ones that have built or worked on the RV line. I would like to hear of the good traits and bad ones also. Please reply here so it can be shared. Thanks

Sparse information at this time, but an ultralight with two p.o.b. has crashed this afternoon at Lelystad Airport (EHLE), killing both persons. There was a brief video on Dutch television showing what appears to be the tail of this...

On the new Cessna 172's, Cessna uses a Black mat type carpeting in the front, then it goes to actual carpet in the back. I'm looking for a source for the black mat in the front to do the floor in a Mooney. Anyone know what they use or where I might get some? I believe it's a polypropylene type...

Got to thinking today about building another project and was wondering about maybe Vans coming out with an RV-? that would fit the Light Sport Aircraft catagory. With Rotax power and about 150 kt cruise. I'm not interested in any Lycoming or certified power, nor any automotive power. Could he do...

I have a Cleveland parking brake line lock on my Dragonfly. The part number is 60-5. It has developed a leak, the fluid is coming out of the body where the actuator arm connects. I would assume there is an O-ring on either end of the shaft that goes through the body, but I can not locate a...

How are they decoded? The aircraft I am constructing has the NACA Airfoil number of 65(3)518-A7. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Clark

May I ask a question which is arguably on topic? As among Airtech, Ceconite, Polyfiber and the other covering systems, which is best and why? One more, please? Which is cheapest? And finally, which is the best for your money and why? Thanks.

Is there anybody out there building a Windrose? I've been building mine on again off again for the past 10 years or so. It's a 15 metre type and it's almost finished. What I'm doing now is the wing finishing, which is alot of filling and sanding. But it's going really well since I figured out how...

I've come across a marvelously cheap vibration sensor that I want to convert into an engine vibration instrument for a Kitplanes article. The electronics for me is relatively trivial...the mechanics of vibration are a little harder to fathom. From a mechanical engineering point of view on a...

Hello again, These examples are what I wanted when I posted to this group. I want a sense of accomplishment. An awakening of adventure. A safe and affordable aircraft to build. That is why I went with Vans. There are three of us that work on aircraft all day in our work lives. Inside the three of...

I know it is a giant leap for many but let's assume Zoom was an upstanding aviator/aviation writer. Why would he pay someone to antagonize potential customers? No matter how cute the Chihuahua, the tamale vendor would not keep him if he peed on every customer's ankle.

Is anyone going to the Sebring expo in FL. We will have a booth there showing the Harley engines. Stop by and see me. Brett

I have a Terra TN200 VOR with GS, Tri-Nav indicator, tray, wiring harness and maintenance manual. The local Avionics shop is loath to test and yellow tag it since they're not set up for Terra. I don't want to send it to Eastern Avionics for yellow tag so it is priced accordingly. I live fairly...
