Antenna ground planes for composite aircraft by
rich[_2_]
I'm using pre-made di-pole antennas for the comm radios in my Glasair.
But I need to install antennas for the transponder and marker beacon.
I've found some pre-made dilpole marker antennas, but for the
transponder, I'm using one of the blade type, and for that one, I'll
need a ground plane. I'm...

Lycoming O-290-D options by
Gene Z. Ragan
Hi,
I am in the process of restoring a Pazmany PL-1. It has an O-290-D
with about 1800 hours on it.
The original logs go back to 1951 and the engine has never been
overhauled. At some point in the
60s some top end work was done but the exact nature is not listed.
The engine technically has 200...

'A' or 'B' circuit generator? by
[email protected]
This is so embarrassing, I must just be getting old; I can't remember
if the generator in my '61 C-172 is an A or B circuit. Worse, I
forget which one is which. Does the 'A' supply controlled voltage
to the field and the 'B' does a controlled "ground out" of
voltage coming from the field or do I...

Building the Po' Boy Bending Brake by
Veeduber
The Po' Boy Bending Brake
Scratch-build an airplane out of aluminum, you gotta bend some tin. Narrow
bend, short piece, you can use a vise. Longer pieces you generally use a
bending brake, even if you have to make one up. Make it out of metal, you call
it a brake and it tends to hang around the...

compound curves in plywood by
BA-100
I'm considering building a replica of a 30's glider that was originally
built in two halves, like a plastic model, but with pressed plywood halves.
Duplicating this has been outside the reach of a homebuilder without some
sort of press, and any made since have either been made out of fiberglass
or...

Scripps model 302 V12 engine by
butch burton
Saw one this weekend in a Gar Wood speed boat-circa 20's/30's. Huge
thing with 2 plugs per cylinder, 891 cu in and 316 HP. Layout looks a
lot like the WWII Rolls Royce V12. Just curious if anyone knows if
this engine started life as an aircraft engine and was later modified
for speed boats. ...

Effect of Light Sport on General Aviation by
Gilan
I think you haven't seen that many message threads on SP/LSA because they
get so heated like discussions on religion or politics. Maybe folks are
burned out arguing over the subject. Of course there really isn't anything
to argue about. I think the new LSA will be a good thing and have a...

Narco Com IIA Wiring connections? by

I picked up an old Narco Com IIA radio.
I'd like to wire it up at home in the garage so I can listen to the

I've searched the internet high and low looking for documentation that
would identify the connections on the back. I can't find any, not...
