IVO props... comments.. by
Dave S
I am involved with the building of a velocity, and questions are flying
around about propeller choice. For in-flight adjustable, we are limited
at this time to an electric control, such as MT or IVO. Cost is pushing
our options in this area towards the IVO.
I have heard of some vibration/resonance...

Epoxy Bonding to Aluminum and Magnesium by
Ryan Young
I'm working on a Hummel Aviation Ultracruiser Plus. The way the
engine mounts is quite different from the mounts on most VW powered
homebuilts. The Conventional Wisdom bolts the thing to the firewall
using the clucth end bellhousing, often with an accessory case in
between.
The Ultracruiser Plus...

Why 4130 tube? by
Leon McAtee
Why do we homebuilders use 4130 tube? My old Aeronca does just fine
being made of mild steel. A bit of napkin calcs says that going up
just one tube diameter for the size tube we normally use, the area,
and the strength/weight goes up between 15% and 20%. This pretty
much offsets the difference...

DIY Two-Stroke Engine Construction Methods by
durabol[_2_]
The two main methods for homebuilt construction would be casting vs.
machining or some combination of both (probably the best option).
Forging probably isn't appropriate for home construction (either the
piston or connecting rod).
One method I have thought of is to produce a wax model of the...

Dimples On Model Aircraft Could Greatly Extend Range by
Bret Cahill
Have they tried dimples on radio controlled aircraft? The size and
speed could designed around the magic Reynolds number = 100,000 where
the coefficient of drag drops precipitously.
Dimpling could vastly extent the range of large and slow as well as
small and fast radio controlled aircraft.

Diesel engine by
Bryan
Has anyone been able to find the weight on the VW V10 diesel engine? This
engine produces 550 lb/ft of torque at 2000 rpm and 310 hp at 3750 rpm.
Sounds like a great candidate for aircraft to me.

effect of changed thrust line. by

How does a person determine what the proper height of an engine should
be when building an airplane? If a particular engine design mandates
the prop is 4 inches, say, lower than where it would be with the
engine originally installed, what effect will it have on handling, and
what changes in...

VWs by

I had posted a link to a vid of a 701 weaving through the trees over

At some point down the line I expressed interest in a VW powered 701.
One guy said he figured a VW would melt down in an aircraft cowling
when producing no more that 50HP.
He provided a link to Bob Hoover's blog,...
