I've got a TV magazine producer looking for people that have built and own multiple airplanes. I can think of plenty that have built more than one - but none of them *own* more than one that they've built. Can anyone out there in RAH land think of anyone? From the conversation I've had...

Finding more time to go flying these days, but still less than ideal. Up to 18 hours so far, with no major problems. I rerigged the tail a few weeks ago to take care of some of the out-of-balance problem and an excessive nose-down trim requirement at cruise conditions. It really helped, so I've cut...

www.eaa.org is reporting that OMB is acknowledging that SportPilot is back in their hands.

Happened today. Winds were kind and I took the chance. The 25 min flight went fine, took off smoothly and touched down nicely without a bounce inspite of 7kts cross wind. There is some tweaking to be done; radio worked intermittently - lost communications with traffic, but the standby airport...

If you happen to be in the Central Florida area please drop in and say hello to the Florida Flying Gators. Our monthly club meeting is tomorrow 5 June at 11am. Stop by and have a soda. Give us a call on 123.375. 2000ft grass strip runway 18 or 36 http://www.flyinggators.com --

Anyone know what this type of engine weighs? I know that hog-air claims 200 lbs, but that's with a starter, PSRU (PRSU?), exhaust, etc. I'm wondering what the engine itself weighs with its standard starter, and nothing else. Any bikers in here have a spare engine and a scale? My much-discussed...

Gene Littner was an aeronautical engineer who has served as the interpreter and distributor for Piel aircraft plans in North America. In addition, he designed and built several aircraft. He passed from this vale of tears on the evening of June 1st. The Emerauders mourn his loss. One of the group...

We had a cold front pass through Friday evening here in New England, and the forecast was for cool abeit windy weather for Saturday, with the cool remaining on Sunday but the wind diminishing somewhat. Great weather for sandblasting, I thought. Did I ever mention how much I hate sandblasting? ...

According to a Reuters article today http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=scienceNews&storyID=5327451 SpaceShipOne is to attempt a full 100KM high flight on June 21. Since there will only be one passenger, the flight will not qualify as an X-prize flight. Vaughn

I'd be grateful if anyone can direct me towards links about the relative safety of different types of homebuilt aircraft. Not figures I can use to prove to myself that flying a homebuilt is safe, but a discussion of all the factors that affect safety in homebuilt aircraft. I haven't found...

New group for subjecdt aircraft. Click on , to join. Thnx

Or...better yet, make friends with your local radio service technician. It's a sure bet that he has a Bird and the proper slugs. I'm sure a quick once around the airport is cheaper than a Bird 43. Clark FCC General Class "Ken Reynolds" wrote in message...

First time for me too. There were reports the dynamic, powerful A-65 sounded sick but it made plenty of power. Vern said, "It's poppin' and crackin'. And Travis said the engine noise was "unusual." And Alan said, "Sump'n not right about that." So we pulled the cowl and sure enough a gasket...

Ok.. question for those out there with some hands on experience with the IVO Magnum series electric inflight-adjustable props. What has been your experience with this product.. Any pro's or cons based on your experience... Has the product met your expectations... Where I am coming from: working...

We wound up using blow-proof gaskets for the exhaust of the powerful, dynamic A-65 Continental on the Taylorcraft. The inner ring is something of a spiral wound gasket of soft aluminum and rotates. I had to grind off an edge of the steel housing in order to clear the intake pipes on...
