My Terra radio installation instruction says "Porper attachment of any antenna to the aircraft surface is of primary importance. Carefull clean all paint and corrosion off the mounting surface and apply an anti-corrosion treatment." Question 1, does "clean all paint" mean strip all paint to...

Wow, a whole day with everyone out enjoying flying instead of typing. Cool Steve from Michigan

The president and chief instructor at a New Zealand microlight club were killed in a crash on the weekend. Apparently they took a flight at 3am, in the dark, in a thunderstorm, at a field with no lighting. Speculation is that alcohol was involved, but this seems to border on a suicide pact to...

It doth often trouble me to Think That in this Business we are all to Learne and none to Teach... -Robert Cushman, 1619 The Chugger Project is an on-going series of experiments using inexpensive, commonly available materials to build a simple single- place airplane. As the work progresses,...

Not that I plan to do this but I was wondering, if one was going to plan to install a diesel in a homebuilt, what diesel would one put in? Lou

Lately I've had to use the stuff to work with some pre-made parts that were made from epoxy. Aeropoxy. Stinky! Epoxy is more viscose, so it doesn't wet out the cloth as well. It is more toxic, especially some of the older formulas. And smells horrible. And why did so many homebuilders get stuck...

That's the title of one of the 280+ articles you'll find in my blog, along with a couple of articles on survival, tracking down abandoned airports here in the desert south-west and even a few hints about semi- spontaneous fly-in's to some of those forgotten or seldom used airfields. I've even...

Someone gave me a Speedaire Model 3Z394 airtank. I know nothing about its integrity or working pressure. 1. If you own such a model, could you tell me the max safe tank pressure? 2. How can I determine if the tank (which as some rust on the outside) still has its integrity? - Mike

on 5/4/2008, Peter Dohm supposed : not necessarily. you only get the performance figures *after* you've built the design and flown it. aviation is littered with designs that looked promising but werent. Stealth Pilot To make matters worser, I can't build one so I...

a fellow kind of remembered there was an alternative to springs between the firewall and each rudder pedal for keeping tension on the rudder cables. Thought something about 2 pullies... anybody know about this? Thanks, Dick

I would like to add some lightweight insulation and interior panels to my tube and fabric aircraft. Any good ideas for attaching the panels without having visible fasteners? I'm thinking something like those plastic automotic clips... but not. They always seem to break off in my cars. Even...

how does one decide to use a "cable" versus "spring" for the connection between rudder horn and tailwheel assembly horn? how tightly connected and what strength spring, etc? Thanks Dick (an evolving tricycle driver G)

OK, I've been googling, wikiing, and reading FAR gobbledygook all morning and I still don't have a clear picture of what the nav light requirements (in both azimuth and elevation) are as regards brightness. If anybody has a point to a clear post of the brightness requirements, I'd sure be...

I'm just having more fun than should be legal and it probably isn't if I look far enough into the County, State and Federal statues, but I am never-the-less. I have pretty much followed the Cafe numbers for header length and the 4-into-one collector. Keeping in mind friendship to my neighbors, I...

Thanks for the invite to speak ... Jim here. With avgas at $5 a gallon and heading north, and with EAA taking a tack decidedly against the little guy in favor of heavy iron, and after 35 straight years of attendance at Oshkosh, and with all of the academic load I've taken on in the last year...

Bob ... Somehow I lost your email addy. I've got somebody back in Winnebago County that I think you'd like to meet. Jim -- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
