Hello, I need some information about Clark Y profiles. I found a lot of information like coordinates, but I really need design parameters. Like design lift coefficient, nose radius and trailing edge radius. I would really appreciate your help! Bart

I've got several buried antennas in my composite homebuilt. A com antenna in the leading edge of the rudder, a VOR antenna in the outer wing, and a com antenna along the side of the fuselage.

Rollicking good time in the Wanttaja household lately, with another set of homebuilt registrations statistics/homebuilt accident statistics analyses under way.

For those who are interested in an adorable little powerplant for a light homebuilt, my Lawrance radial engine projects have now only just met the reserve on eBay.

Anybody here have any experience with one of these critters? I bought a Jet 1/2 HP last month for cutting aluminum. The saw looks to be of exceptional quality for being Taiwanese and I'm overall pleased with how it's made but assembling it was less than fun (getting the legs on was a...
