want variable pitch prop by Ray Toews
I bought a Jodel an old F11 built in 65 with 1200 hrs on it, from what I have seen so far it looks good, rugged built. Needs lots of tinkering, has bolts and screws sticking out everywhere but we'll fix that, O290 lycoming really wants a variable pitch prop, allready has a Manifold presure...

Pumping fuel backwards through an electric fuel pump by Greg Reid
I've installed a 12-gallon fuel cell aux tank in the tailcone of my 4-place conventional low-wing plane -- intended for go-fast trimming when flying solo more than for its extra fuel capacity. As you know, a typical 4-place is terribly nose-heavy with only front-seat passengers and no baggage. ...

Mixing construction materials by Neal Fulco
In the " I wonder if this would work " department, I have a question about mixing different materials in main airframe structures.

Aircraft Photoguide by Bob
I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds of aircraft types so it's worth a look. Does anyone know of any other good sites?
