Re-finishing brushed-on AFS/Stewart? by CB

Aircraft antennas by ccwillwerth
Hi, I am about ready to cover my Cub type airframe, but need a place to attach a com antenna. I was considering brazing a plate to the airframe so that it would be just under the fabric. The antenna is the type that has a ceramic insulator on the bottom of the antenna that insulates the...

Volt/Ammeter by ccwillwerth
In Kitplanes January 2002 issue, Jim Weir wrote on how to build a volt/ammeter from a Radio Shack 910-4919 digital voltmeter. The Radio Shack people advised me that they no longer carry the voltmeter. Does anyone know if there is a substitute? Can one of these cheap multimeters from throw-away...

Electronic design considerations by CD
Hello, I'm curious about avionics circuits in high altitude conditions (60,000ft+). What kind of design considerations are taken into account? I've heard about radiation effects on certain devices especially computers / microcontrollers, but I'm also curious about other factors.

Newbie Question, really: That first flight by Cecil Chapman
A question I've always wanted to ask homebuilders is based on how I can see one could go through the process of building through lots of hard work and dedication - but how do you get yourself to do that first flight? I would think a thousand questions would fill one's mind (ex: did I tighten...

Old Plans, New Part Numbers by [email protected]

Is the AN363-624 Metal Lock Nut a good match or good substitution? Gotta have something to hold 49 feet...
