Hello there fellow aviation enthusiasts, Does anyone know where I can obtain original, or copies of original factory blueprints for WWII Warbirds such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Chance-Vought F4U Corsair, North-American P51 Mustang, etc?

Three new additions to our Rec.Aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of participants and their planes... - From Pennsylvania, Mike Granby and his beautiful Piper Arch-Warrior (180 horse Warrior)... - From New Jersey, Lee ("RossPilot") Ross' gorgeous Skyhawk... - From Colorado, Chris ("SeeAndAvoid") Rodiguez'...

Does anybody have a digital photo in fairly high res of an old Narco Superhomer that they would be willing to copy to me for an article I'm doing for both Oshkosh forum and a Kitplanes column? A VC-27Z would do just as well. If you've got a good photo and can upload it to your web page...

A while back the Xantus vtol 4 place kit was looking pretty cool. Now they seem to have disapeared. Anyone know what happened? Their web site www.vtol1.com is now a lame place holder site and has been since around late last year. I couldn't find any info as to what happened to them.

This is one of those questions where there must be a simple answer. This is probably the forum to get the best explanation. Why aren't vacuum driven gyro instruments driven by pressure instead? The reason I'm wondering is because about 2" of suction is sufficient to power a turn needle, and while...

Saw a blurb about folks using a Mercedes engine in homebuilts? Any details on the conversion?

Here's an interesting new diesel engine with much lower operating costs. Looks like it would fill the bill for a Glass Goose (which I'm considering) very nicely. Waddya think? http://www.deltahawkengines.com/object00.htm -- How Dubya stole the election: http://www.ericblumrich.com/gta.html

Is there a place where unused plans or plans wanted can be posted? It seems there are hundreds of sets of plans sold for each plane actually built. Where are all those unused plans ending up? Are they like the sets I have in a box down in the basement for the last 20 years? Ebay has some plans...

This was in the newspaper today. No information on the airplane, but it was supposed to be a homebuilt. I have heard it was a BD-4, but no confirmation. I used to fly out of the North Omaha Airport. It is relatively short (2,500 feet from memory) with high trees off the south end. The north end...

I am planning on building a plane that is towed behind a boat. Because of the low speed (25mph stall) I am planning on using a high lift airfoil. Some airfoils with high coefficients of lift a FX72150B (2.0), FX73CL3(2.25), GOE225(1.9), GOE226(1.9), GOE234(2.0), GOE243 (2.0), GOE244(2.0),...

You've got mail! From: "Fastglasair" Subject: STS AV7600 VOR Handheld aviation transceiver Date: Thursday, May 27, 2004 11:20 PM Does anyone know how to operate the VOR function on this radio? The VOR operation is not very intuitive. Bought this unit used, it came with...

Bought a digital video camera a week ago; fabricated a mount and installed it on the Fly Baby's axle tube this weekend. Here's a quick snippet from a 30-minute flight I took yesterday. http://www.bowersflybaby.com/slip.mpg Unfortunately, the video compression loses a lot of data to get the...

Ok, so it's not an airplane but it is related. I'm going to Oshgosh and will be camping. Anyone have an idea on how to make my 70db generator quieter besides not running it? Lou

How Beat The High Cost Of Fuel Randall Fishman, president of Electric Aircraft Corp., flew his ultralight trike at EAA Airventure 2007, Oshkosh. "I flew the trike in front of the crowds, and the trike was mobbed with people every day. The EAA folks really loved the idea." The ElectraFlyer won...

I googled, but there's not much infor. about converting the turbine in the microturbine generator for aircraft use. So I am tossing my idea here. The Capstone's microturbine generator looks very neat. The generator has 60kw output, and the turbine itself should have higher output, enough for a...
