Just for the record, I have a set of Azusa wheels and brakes on a clone of a Kitfox, built as an ultralight (empty wt 254#). The wheels are OK, but the brakes are not adequate, even at that low weight.. "richard riley" wrote in...

I saw the Titan T-51 down at SnF this year and I've been thinking about it ever since. I like it a little more than the RV-8 at the moment even though it's not as fast and costs more initially. What do you folks think about the T-51? Does anyone know someone who is building one? Do they have or...

anyone have an address or phone number - thanks

Trolls are those jerks flaming other people posting in this ng. ower "Wooduuuward" skrev i meddelandet ... Sorry for 'bumming' all you people out. I didn't know I was a troll, what ever that is. I was looking for conversation in ...

Does anyone know anything about HCI Aviation's radial engines? I found there web site but not finding much info on them outside of that. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with there product? Thanks.

Thanks Bob just what I needed. So what is the difference from Hysol and 3M 2216.

Where can I find a fairly detailed explanation of the airworthiness certification of an experimental aircraft? Specifically, I'd like to know if experimentals get certified in a class (land, sea, single engine, multi-engine) or just in category. I'm sure I'll have additional questions, which is why...

I've heard of them doing up to 150 octane (I don't know how that's chemically possible, but that's what they say) It's not based on the hydrocarbon octane anymore. Most automotive gas pumps have the formula decal. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired

I heard on the radio that a small plane from Chicago went missing in the fog during a landing attempt at the Toronto City Centre Airport. This morning I see in the newspaper that the plane and the pilot have been located at the bottom of Lake Ontario. The plane was a Beechcraft that could seat six...

(I've got a certified airplane, so I hope you guys won't run me out of here on a rail, but...) I need to replace some of my fairings on my Tripacer. They're all simple, mostly flat aluminum, some with one or two bends in them. I can form them (I bought my SO a metal bender/shear/break for...

Well, I just got the news today, that I will have to undergo back fusion surgery, and will not be able to go to OSH this year. It breaks my heart, but I am looking forward to some relief of my pain. Drink one for me, gang! -- Jim in NC

Hello guys...... We have just uploaded our latest newsletter for the Sinus Ultralight Motorglider http://www.mcp.com.au/sinus/newsletters/newsletter-6/newsletters6.html Enjoy.... and if your passing through Oshkosh please drop by site 405 and say hello.

For five or six years now I have been waiting to see a number of Super Rebels on the flight line at OSH. But they never seem to show. Do any of you guys have any first hand information about that bird? It has my interest, but I want to wait and see how the real world evaluates it. I have read...

A friend of mine has a power chute made by one of the most respected companies around. Still, he's crashed it 3 times now. If a well designed power chute is a handful, maybe you might want to reconsider making your own from scratch. Those things look innocent, but they _can_ bite you. MJC "Still...

In about two weeks (and for ten days thereafter) the largest collection of aircraft in the world will be converging on Oshkosh WI from all corners of the USA and several countries. The show actually starts on the 29th of July and ends on the 4th of August, but the heaviest traffic is going to be...

I flew helos in the Marines, and in the '60s put together a Benson kit. It logged about 220 hours with zero problems, including a highly idiotic trip from the CA coast to Catalina. In 1972, however, my wife-to-be insisted it go before the wedding bells. Are any of these still around? Henry

A while back I posted that after trying E70S-6 filler rod for TIG welding 4130 steel, that I preferred using S-2 although the S-6 worked fine. I had more parts to weld tonight, and at Bruce Frank's suggestion, I first sanded the copper coating off the rod and then wiped it with acetone. It made a...

Am wondering if there's a design flaw in the ACK E-01 ELT or just an anomaly? Our unit went off by itself today because the battery in the remote panel mount indicator died, triggering the ELT, and I'd like to know if anyone else has had this happen? If a dying battery in the remote ***always***...
