Will a piston (non-turbo) run cooler at altitude where the outside air is cooler or lower where the air is more dense ? Evan

I want to install an external airband antenna hooked up to a handheld radio to talk to airplanes. It would possibly be a whip antenna but I don't know what type and where to buy it the US. Any recomendations?

I am a member of a glider club that uses an L-19 Birddog for our tow plane. The airplane makes a great towplane and by removing the rear stick and turning the rear seat around, you can face backwards for the flight which is a real hoot. The airplane came to us after military use and had a full...

I watched the whole thing (from about 1/2 hour out) on the NASA video feed (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html). It is really is amazing how all this stuff works. One amazing thing about the final approach is how steep it is. I've always known it was steep (the NASA web...

You may want to check with a computer hardware group, but here are my comments. Hard drives fly the read/write head on the air cushion over the platters. As the air gets thinner at altitude, the head crashes. You may be able to find hardware rated for altitudes up to FL180 or even higher. ...

Nice series in the Chicago Trib. Sure, it's written as doom-n'-gloom entertainment rather than dry facts and analysis, but they gotta sell papers. Does make one wonder about our own (general aviation) future. Note: As a courtesy to r.a.p., and against all tradition, followups have been...
