sliding wings? by
[email protected]
when I look at my eyeglass case, I see two closely overlapping
wing-type shapes that are being pulled apart for opening.
why would it not be worthwhile to extend wings this way for landing and
departure?

Ultralight motors? by
Richard Lamb
I'm looking for a 35-50 hp 2 stroke suitable for a legal 103.7
ultralight. Anybody here know of a Rotax 477 or 503 - or a suitable
substitute that is not being used by some other fool?
Now I know that "friends don't let friends fly 2 strokes", but with
the (bleepin') catch-22 in the spot pilot...

Sport Pilot license by
keepitrunning
Has anyone come up with an estimated cost of a sport pilot license versus a
regular pilot's license. Then would it be reasonable to add the
requirements for a pilot's license later?
Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

A couple Questions-Ramp Checks and Experimental Operations by
Badwater Bill
I sold my experimental airplane sometime ago but I'm looking at buying
another one at this time. I always flew over cities and used my RV-6

"...but I don't have a lathe." by
[email protected]
"...but I don't have a lathe."
Sound familiar? The truth is, you probably have any number of things
around your shop that can serve as a lathe.
In a lathe, the work rotates against the cutting tool. ( In a milling
machine, it's the cutting tool that rotates against the work.) The
main purpose...

Lathe, drillpress, milling machine available, but..... by

The local EAA chapter has a lathe, drillpress, milling machine, etc
set up in the back of the chapter house. As far as I can tell, the
lathe hasn't been used in a while. When I asked, someone rightly
replied they were concerned someone might hurt themselves using the
lathe. Having had some training...

Dimples On Model Aircraft Could Greatly Extend Range by
Bret Cahill
Have they tried dimples on radio controlled aircraft? The size and
speed could designed around the magic Reynolds number = 100,000 where
the coefficient of drag drops precipitously.
Dimpling could vastly extent the range of large and slow as well as
small and fast radio controlled aircraft.

Air Compressor Horsepower/Wattage/Amperage by

I thought I had this compressor power thing down to a pretty good science

all that crap that makes their compressor look really good until you go to
use it.
Back when we were using "real" horsepower I used a figure of...
