Something about the thread, regarding transmitting power from one radio being funnelled into the other radio made me take pause. In the Houston area (and I'm sure most other major cities) there is an antenna farm that has a collection of FM, AM and TV broadcast antennae. I would estimate there are...

We will be flying from Calgary to KAWO for the EAA fly-in for the fifth year and would like to see some interesting sites around Washington, Oregon and Montana. We've been to McMinville and the Spruce Goose Museum as well as the blimp hangar and Museum at Tillemook. The Boeing plant will likely be...

Hallo, is anybody leaving Indiana (Indianapolis area) to go to Oshkosh July 27 or 28, (and return at the weekend)? I've been an EAA member for 4 years now and since I live in Germany could never make it to our "family convention". So if you have an empty seat in your car or even your plane ;-) and...

Thought there might be some of you on here would find this of interest. http://www.theitem.com Click on "Busniness" in the column on the left side of page and it will bring the article up for you. It is really of interest to me as I will get to take a ride in this plane. My father flew these...

I just purchased a set of Cygnet plans. Does anyone know of anyone building a Cygnet in the southwestern US? I'd sure like to see one before I get started. Also, does anyone know how to get ahold of the designer Bert Sisler? I understand that he was planning to put a Jabiru engine in the...

I have no ties to any of this Dennis Fetters guy or the Mini 500 debacle. I ran across these postings about Dennis a few months back and started reading all I could on the groups and the web about Fetters and this helicopter. All I can say is unbelievable.... I have read things tossed back and...

Greetings, Has anyone seen or developed a characterization of this tach sensor? It is a combined magnet/coil combo used to generate a pulse when a bit of iron speeds past(Ampere's law). In my case, I have 6 steel AN5 bolt heads/revolution roughly 3/32" from the sensor head at roughly...

Do you have to replace the entire harness or can you replace the wire? I've replaced the plugs on the left rear cylinder and checked to make sure no induction leak. The egt on no. 2 cylinder is running 200 degrees low. The other 5 cylinders are fine. Mag check shows the problem clears up on the...

does anyone know what is the status of the zoche radial diesel? are any flying yet? Don't believe it has ever flown, and I doubt that it will anytime soon. Sure would love to have one on the front of my airplane, though. Ed "still got my Zoche t-shirt" Wischmeyer

Hi, I am wondering if V0-435 cylinders can be used as replacements for the original 0-290 jugs. This is for non-certified use. I have also heard of an O-320 cylinder modification. If anyone could give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

My EAA chapter is looking for a set of aircraft scales. We can't break the bank, but we're not lookin' for junk either. Anyone want to suggest a source for appropriate scales and a brand/model (or models) that offers good accuracy at a reasonable price? Thanks, KB

Hello, ACS sold an afordable set for retrofit old headsets with ANR electronics. Does some one use this? Is it simple to fit in a David Clack H10-30? Same question for Pilot Avionics 10-40? Thanks --

I'm considering buying one, wondering what I should plan for an engine overhaul hourly reserve. TTE unknown, no logs, the plane is still flying off its phase 1 hours, about 10 STOH (unknown quality). I'm told by the builder/seller that it's an L2C model, but a fellow looked at the pictures and...

I realize that I should have posted this yesterday, but there is still 6 hours left to get an email postmark in time. Today is the last day to pay for the UW-O dorm rooms in full for those of us with reservations. Midnight Central time. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet...

Is a statement such as the following acceptable for weight and balance calculations for flying? "As long as the maximum baggage weight of XX lbs and gross weight of xxxx lbs is not exceeded, the aircraft will be in balance"

Has anybody wasted there time filling out this survey only to find it wont accept itself...unless you change a bunch of your answers??? Just curious...and no...I'm NOT AOPA. !!! I'm a EAA member that happened to go to Sun -N- Fun this year and was sent this survey by...I dont know who...to fill...

Anybody have any experience with these props? I just bought one today. After reading their website they look good, but what do you guys know, if anything? BWb

Good evening friends. Recently got a plane with a Limbach L2000 engine. Is this engine a Type 1 or 4 VW? It has a single magneto and I want to add an electronic ignition. I contacted Steve from Great Plains about machining a second set of spark plug holes in the cylinder heads. He asked me if...

The last few days of maintenance paid off today. The engine ran *much* smoother in flight (prop balancing). There's still a fairly pronounced vibration at certain RPMs, but they're easy to avoid and have been reported by other RV-drivers with similar prop/engine combinations. Engine temps are...
