(Shamelessly stolen & edited from the garden & lawn tractor forum) Well spring is nearly upon us, and the oft-forgotten task of removing the winter air from your airplane tires needs to be completed before the temps hit 60. Last year I made the ghastly mistake of allowing my mechanic to change my...

Anyone know where I might find the pinouts for an old 110-c STS unit? A manual would be even better, but pinouts would be enough to figure out if it even works. Thanks in advance, Bob

Hi guys. The Hobbs on my Zodie HD clicked past the 20 mark this morning. I'm half way to the magic number 40 when I can finally get outta this 50 mile circle. All's going well, except the Jabiru 3300's CHT and oil temps are still hotter than I want to see. At 2750- 2900 RPM's my hottest cylinder...

Does anyone here read sci.space.tech? The reason I ask it because, quite suddenly, it seems to be unavalible. I'm wondering if it's just earthlink, or did it disappear? Wouldn't have anything to do with that 100 foot rock that missed us by that much Thursday, would it?

Cheap tools are no bargain... but about half of my bucking bars and bumping dollys started out as the head of a large ball peen hammer... or small drilling sledge. (You can pour the hole full of lead for added mass.) Most homebuilders aren't aware of the fact that the basic bucking bars...

What is an effective way to protect the alodine film? I know I could shoot Zinc Chromate primer (~$8 a can), or use one of the epoxy two part systems, but I have many small parts (2024-3) and I won't have them all ready at the same time. What about the latex aluminum primer from Rustoleum:...

I didn't post to the wrong group. Playboy Magazine's Miss May 2004 should be looked at seriously. She wants to be a corporate Learjet pilot. Anyone care to help her build some stick time? D. (P.S.- She can hold altitude and heading very well in the KingAir)

I'm looking for the mil spec documents referenced in AC43.13-1b with regards to crimp on wire connectors and my google abilities are falling short. Seems like I remember having a link to an index site of mil specs but it must not have made the move to my most recent computer because I can't find...

Go over to Alt.binaries.pictures.aviation to get a shot of my pop. You guys have no idea what a great warrior this guy was for this country. Most of us could never in our wildest dreams ever live up to the standards and the completed missions this guy did, then later directed. You can't judge a...

Can anyone recommend a good expandable type reamer (brand name) for aircraft work? All I need to do is ream out an elongagted hole a few thousands of an inch but since it is an aft wing attach fitting and the bolt needs to be a tight fit. I have seen adjustable reamers range from $20 to $60...

Anyone upgraded a O-235-C 6.5 CR 100HP Lycoming using L2C 115HP 9.5 Pistons/Cyl? If so is it bolt on or is there machining involved? Any better alternatives? I've heard someone sells high-comp pistons in the 10.5 CR range. Thanks!

I keep misplacing the information about a nice tidy circuit breaker panel that you can buy that has the master on it and a buss bar and a number of appropriately sized circuit breakers. Can anyone tell me the URL where this is described? I've been searching for several weeks and have not been...

In an earlier post I read somewhere that the pulse jet is a device that converts fuel into noise. Someone else had suggested firing 2 engines 180 degrees out of phase with each other to cancel the sound. If the 2 engines were stacked one over the other, then you might actually be able to cancel a...

For anyone interested, I have completed my CD on resin infusion. Anyone intested in this new technique for fabricating composite parts can find out more at my web site: http://home.houston.rr.com/pieceofwork/index.htm Thanks,

I'm looking for the two gentlemen that came down to Virginia to help Gil put together the doors for his Mini500. I was there helping also and I would like copies of the pictures that we took together at the end of the day. I don't remember the names of these two gentlemen, but I do remember that...
