Hi, Has anyone built Ron Dixon's Mini-Coupe? I like the look of the little plane and have been considering building one.

I'd posted this in the "liar and fraud" thread but someone suggested nobody would see it as that thread had kinda petered out. It's a good summary of the reality of Bush's Guard record: "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message ... richard...

Anyone install a GNS430 to interface with a KI-209A CDI, Navaid Device autopilot and JPI EDM700 (let's see what else...)?? I'm removing my GX50 and Icom for this newer system. But if the GNS430 cannot be set for a enroute sensitivity of +-1 mn (vice 5 nm), as my GX50 can, then it's a show...

Rib Testing The rib is supported upside down by a jig simulating the wing spars. The load, consisting of a single mass suitably divided by balance beams, is applied to the upper edge of the rib (as positioned in the jig), distributed by pallets of wood as needed to prevent...

x-posted to rah,rao,rap Here's a news scoop for you all... Express Aircraft Company, formerly Wheeler Express, has gone out of business. Apparently TCM (Teledyne Continental Motors) was unable to honor shipment of their "Full Authority Digital Engine Control" (FADEC) IOF-550 engines which...

Here's a link to view a successfull conversion from a Franklin powered Seabee to a Chevy LS-1 powered Seabee. The conversion has flown over 600 hours. Improvements in climb, cruise, fuel consumption and takeoff over original. Interestingly, the conversion makes more power than the Franklin...

Do you guys know that you can purchase Aeroshell 15W50 and W100 or W80 at some Sams club locations. If yours does not stock, I was able to get mine in Ogden,UT to do so. I ordered 20 cases, this primed the pump to get them to stock and I spread the word to others to keep the demand up to keep it...

Ok Guys and Gals, I have finally decided to check into what I have put off for about 20 years! Can any of you kind people refer me to a cheap A&P course. I have seen a couple in the 1000 buck range, I just can not justify that expense as I won't be using it for employment. I would prefer something...

Hi, I am finishing the construction of a J-3. I intend to have the following in the aircraft and would like to know if you can give me any hints or suggestions on the type, location and mounting of the antenna farm. I would either like to hide the antennas or build them from scratch or kit. I am...

Anyone know the slowest speed at which a scram jet would likely be able to start? It seems NASA is using a rocket booster to get to speed, which would make me think this idea is a bit less than practical for civilian use. Can't see the Concorde crowd signing up for a rocket powered plane, though...

Last revised on September 1, 2004. Added question on non-US homebuilding. This document attempts to answer common questions asked by newcomers to the rec.aviation.homebuilt newsgroup, or those curious individuals unfamiliar with the domain of homebuilt aircraft. It assumes that the reader already...

Okay, I'll admit- I *thought* I'd found a good deal on NiMH AA batteries (posted on the previous thread), but you folks came through with some really great deals. I'm shopping for some NiMH size C and D batteries (already got a nice charger). Thus far I've seen a pack of 8 C and 8 D for $4.84...

At the WNC Air Museum, the original hangar has sliding doors, big monstrous steel things sliding back and forth on rollers that are quite functional. In addition at the new museum hangar, wherein live six beauty airplanes (including three cherry Stearmans), are doors which rotate outward and...

With all the OT stuff on rah lately, I hope you won't mind a little OT humor. It kinda goes along with all the political rhetoric we've been having. Rich S. ******************************************************** ORDERING A PIZZA IN 2008
