I picked up a project that was supposed to be built with 1.5 degrees of washout towards the end of the wings. The builder unfortunately built them without washout, because while his workmanship was actually quite good he was worried he wouldn't be able to match the wings and one would drop in a...

This got me thinking, a rudderless Ercoupe in a multi-directional wind landing...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2NJFrvYls Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861

Just got off the phone with Pastor Pincus. He's doing well but his computer needs a miracle. He sends his best for Pink Knee Ville. Wish we could be there but that four letter word w o r k is interfering with life. Tom C

I need to complete my Cozy 3. I don't have much to go but need some hangar space within 50 miles of Shreveport LA. Need to attach the wings and do finish work so I need power and lights. Cannot be a grass strip unless it's like a golf green and plenty long. Thanks for any leads. Art

I'm thinking of using their biggest one, rated at 925 amps to crank my IO-540 300hp engine. I'm wondering if they are the same type of construction as the old dry cell flashlight batteries? The type that had that black carbon inside, which are still sold as "heavy duty" D cells, ect. The only...

I have a freind that wants to build aluminum tube type homebuilt. He wants to use ultralight/ hanglider type fittings for the hardware. What are the most common north american sources online for the hadware connectors (saddles etc.) Thanks in advance Pat

Does anybody still do the old technique of drilling holes before tacking tubes together to interconnect them for oiling the fuse when it's finished? I've been told that's not done any more, because of the realization that as long as the welds are air tight, the oxygen trapped in the tube is...

http://www.vansairforce.net/rvator/1-2008-RVator.pdf On reading this it's obviously a shot across the bow of the yuppie- popular fast build kit industry. All I can say is, It's About Time and You Damn Skippy this is needed and right. RVG/Van's is essentially promoting, marketing and...

The subject sort of tells most of what I'm looking for. I have an Aeronca and would like to increase the trans/recep of my handheld. There was an article by Weir a couple of years ago in Kitplane, I think, on how to make one. Help? Thanks Mark in third world Wyoming.

Has any else noticed the similarity between flyboy and juan?? Both make unproven and wild statements. Both have a short answer to nearly every post made.. but quote the entire previous post in the process.. Granted, having flyboy around here has increased the posting rate by a significant...

Actually I'm interested also to know if any other designs besides BD aircraft utilize wing spars that are made of aluminum tube. So if you know of any I'd like to know what they are.

I've added a link to Highflyer's official announcement to my Unofficial Pinckneyville FAQ. http://www.ousterhout.net/pjy-faq.html If I'm reading my webstats properly over 200 people have read the Unofficial FAQ in the past few days. Unbelievable! - John (back home again in Oregon) Ousterhout -

I know this will not do much for unbelievers, But I have no problem believing that an 1835 engine with a belt reduction system would fly an airplane with a takeoff weight of 1050lb's.. The performance didn't look to be that bad either. I think a good 1835 vw engine with reduction can do...
