Video of wing failure via AVweb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8cntPdRtk RANS S-9 loses a wing in an airshow doing aerobatics; pilot survives because plane is equipped with BRS and promptly deployed. Natural to wonder whether some earlier stunt actually partially cracked the spar.

Glass Cockpit Architecture by: Douglas Eagleson 2010 A proper glass window cockpit display is a hard system to design. Fault tolerance become the primary issue. A display of engine and flight controls as a primary visual information panel becomes a central control computer. I have considered...

I'll add another cudo for the Midget, it's wonderful to work with. I also have the chinese copy of a Victor medium duty torch kit. (same as Harbor freight sells) I'm using the regulators, but the torch is all but untouched. There may be some use for it when welding clusters where 8 or 9 tubes...

Hello, everyone knows this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colomban_Cri-cri two electric motors, winning the record: http://e-props.fr/EPrecordMC15E.php One with 4 electric model motors:

Anyone know the voltage that is used for the instruments on a C-47 control panel? Specifically for the Artificial Horizon. in advance, thanks. . .charlie

hello, I will begin the engine final assembly. I read I need to begin with the 3 dowel screws and the front two 7/16 through studs and low rear3/8 stud. I don't find the tight order after that. I guess it is better to tight all the stud nuts on big machined washer before the...

I googled "open source aircraft" today, and got quite a few hits. It appears that open source practices and hard-engineering (engineering that ultimately transcends from digital into physical, unlike software) are still pretty far apart from each other. There are several sites that refer to...

I can't find the spelling for a Marchetti aircraft. Anyone help? I need a manual for the Sport version. What is the name of the green primer? I know about the zinc chromate. What is the name of a good etcher used before priming. And lastly I need a place to buy used parts for the Marchetti side x...

I have a Bosch 36 V lithium-ion hammer drill motor with batteries and charger. What sort of propeller would be appropriate to stick onto the shaft of that? Would a powered paraglider propeller be too big? I just want to get a rough idea of how much air that motor can push. Any...

Anybody try building one? Seems to me that it would be about the easiest project for homebuilt aviation, to build a backpack cage with a motor and propeller. Powered paragliding looks outrageous. They should fix the problem of the pilot being slung/slammed into the ground at low altitudes....

Hello, I want to place C85 piston inside an O200 engine. Do these pistons need any machining to fit? Thanks -- http://www.youtube.com/v/k6AP4SbRHNo&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&rel=0 Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬

As per Rob A. In 1981, East Germany was still dominated under the Iron Heel of the Communist Bloc. The feared Stasi police kept watch on all citizens. Walls and fences kept people trapped inside, the most infamous portion being the Berlin Wall, where many people who attempted to cross...

Is anyone interested in a RV3 kit? Make me an offer. I was going to put it together but I am just to busy with other stuff right now. Sooo.. I am not sure every piece is there but most of it is. Stuff like, Wing Ribs wing skins Bulkheads canopy

Hello, page 2-11 in IPC, I see AN502-10-8 for #16 (vaccum pump drive gear bolts) When I disasemble my O200, I found 12 point flange bolt and drill head for safety wire. Is any body known the part number for this bolts? Is any body known where I may find a socket for this head?
