Good Morning all. I'm in Australia and homebuilding is nothing like in the States, so resources become a problem. Anyway, I need a rivet gun and a few other tools for aproject, and was wondering if anyone had information on Airtools, and other tools for Australia. At this stage it looks like...

Aircraft Spruce (and others) sell a variety of air/oil separators. The Walker (Airwolf) being the most expensive and a homemade the least costly.

Ok, one more round of it: does anyone have a set of Airbike plans for sale, or know of the German website that was/is producing them (newairbike.com)? Thanks

To all those that responded to my previous post looking for AirBike plan, thanks. I now have a set for the two-seater. This post goes out to all those that have a set of plans and/or have built one. While studying the plans, I notice on the drawing for the vertical stab that the lower rudder...

Can anyone tell me the difference between the motors on airboats and the motors in airplanes? I notice quite a few airboat engines at 1/4 of the price of airplane engines. I figure if your going to tear down and rebuild anyway, why spend the extra cash? So far the only difference I can tell is...

Hi All, I am fitting my homebuilt with instruments and radios, and wanted to add a Direction Finder. I wanted a doppler type, but with small antennas in a 4 point aray with a small dimension or distance between the antennas. Am I really far out of reason, or is this an achievable goal? Charlie

Guys - I'm considering a new cellphone and am interested in getting one that can receive in-flight weather. I'd like to hear which ones work best and which in-flight weather packages are used. Thanks in advance! Sam Staton

There's an AirCam article in the latest Sport Aviation and I thought it was kind of an interesting airplane. So...I looked up the website and the price for the airframe kit (sans the two Rotax motors) is about 60K. It struck me as more than a little bit too much money, but maybe I'm missing...

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...

I am using a mini Denso 45A alternator that just went on me when I put the whole load on it. The load is not more than about 30A but is continuous. Had another similar size alternator quit under load. What is the problem/solution? Since these automotive alternators are CW rotation (the cooling...

Howdy, How does FAA type certification relate to intellectual property rights? For example: everything in an O-235 has been out of patent for years now. Same with old aircraft designs. Is there any reason why somebody couldn't tool up and start ripping out O-235s, and selling them new? I ask...
