Does any of you guys know where to find and contact Francis Rogallo? Thanks! Holger

Hello All: I have 10-32 screws with 8s size Tennerman Washers as attach fittings. The cowling holes have worn slowly but surely and now I know it is time to fix this vibration problem. I like the size of the 8s but I suspect I really should use 10s. They are unpainted and not bonded to the cowling....

Trading off tandem vs side by side seating I came upon an idea I wanted to run by the group. The mission my aircraft needs to perform is mostly a single place weekend out and back kind of mission, with an occasional 2 person XC trip. I'd been homing on the tandem seat config because I like the...

Well folks, So goes it for the Wright Experience boys. A whole lot of sponsor money spent. An exclusive contract and a great gig. Fame, fortune and all that goes with it. But in the end, none of it mattered. That good 'ole 1903 did 'em in after two attempts, which proves two things. First,...

Yesterday's coverage pointed out two things that caught my ear: First, that it was a considerable amount of time before the Brothers were able to duplicate the longest flight of the day, and second, that the craft was (apparently) just on the edge of being able to fly. So, anyone know what aspect...

I'm proud to announce the birth of N601ZR 12/17/2003. The inspection and registration process went smoothly, it almost seemed effortless. The EAA tech counselors did their 3rd and final inspection on Sunday. I went back out monday and spent a couple hours taking care of a few items they had...

Got a set of JCWhitney seat belts w/shoulder strap. But will not work since the upper adjustment works with lower part to create an open Y on bottom. Need something like old Cesnna 150 type where the single upper shoulder simply attaches to the buckle without pulling it up. Any body know of a good...

Hi all... I know this is somewhat off topic perhaps...but maybe somebody here has the tidbit of info I need.... As Im sure you all know....the Lift to drag ratio of a wing goes way up once it gets close to ground.....and roughly speaking the effect becomes pronounced when the wing has an altitude...

Anybody got a replacement for the kerosene looking fluid in the whiskey compass? It evaporates or leaks over the period of a year with no outside evidence of a leak. The compass has new gaskets. Interested in something a little thicker.

Hi, I'm looking to get into a homebuilt project within a few years from now. I've been doing some early research to see what's out there and look at options. I haven't come close to picking a final subject as my project yet, but I have some pretty good ideas of what I want. So far the aircraft...
