Does anyone think it's strange... by
Badwater Bill
So I did a search on this comic phrase: and it came up with a bunch of
Badwater Bill references.... I am flattered that you think I am him..

Corky's engine choice by
Corky Scott
Someone expressed surprise that I was now working on a Ford 3.8L V-6
for my engine. Last they'd heard, I was trying to find a certified
type.
I thought I'd bring everyone up to date. It's true that I had
basically given up on using an auto conversion as I was having trouble
justifying the cost...

Looking for sand paper rolls and adhesive by
Roger Halstead
Where in the devil can I find sand paper long enough to use on my 4
foot long block sander? That and the adhesive for applying it.
I've been resorting to using shorter pieces and self stick adhesive

I have a small bottle of the "self stick"...

their own complicated and even radical designs. Reading between the

time-proved kit or...

Question - Regarding Canard Pushers... by

Hi,
I'm new to this newsgroup. I have a couple of questions.
Sometime within the next 10 years (hopefully a bit sooner), I will begin a

Sport Pilot Airplanes - Homebuilt? by
Rich S.
Anybody else notice the complete absence of the words "Homebuilt" in the
latest article about Sport Pilot on the EAA website
http://www.airventure.org/2003/friaug1/sport_pilot.html.
I have to wonder if the only "approved" airplanes will be commercially
manufactured ones.
