What produce can I use in my Hi-performance VW in order to keep the noise out of the passenger compartment? My wife is having a hard time with the dual carb, header situation when we go for a sunday fly, I mean drive. Rick Bass Players Drink Bass

On the 10th a Cirrus SR-20 pilot with 3 passengers on board deployed his ballistic chute over the Canadian Rockies and landed safely on a remote ridge with no injuries. The plane dropped a wing and entered a non recoverable spin or spiral at 9500 feet and landed on the 4200 foot ridge. The cause...

I've noticed that my prop is beginning to show signs of wear -chips in the leading edge, and cracks in the clear finish. Given that I'm having shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks (and probably won't be up to flying until the arm is substantially healed), I should have some time on my hands to...

I am trying to piece together the process of vacuum bagging a CF part from several sources and comments. I am trying to achieve a glossy finish on the mold side of the finished part. I though that the gloss that I saw on a purchased part was achieved from GelCoat. The manufacturer tells me no -...

Hello to the group. I'm probably going to be acquiring a '46 Champ project in the near future and I've never done a recover before. I've been reading a little about Ceconite and Poly Fiber - For you old heads at this - Is one better than another? Are there plusses & minuses that I should know...

Hopefully in the next year or so, my PA22 to Sportsman 2+2 conversion will be ready for flight. Has anyone have plans or ideas for a simple but dry and functional hangar space.. Really just want to keep it out of the weather with nothing fancy and only enough room for the plane and room to do...

Hi Corky, Do you have a project update? How's your project going? Ernesto

So I'm up and out of the tent at Barber Airport in Alliance, Ohio, and I'm taking my early morning constitutional when ... A happy fellow drives up into the driveway just off the main highway and gets out. I see that he is elderly and hardly able to walk. But he is smiling and full or the...

Hello, Somebody has the coordinates, references or image file of Irv Culver airfoil? Thanks, Roberto M. Besser Brazil

Found this on my lawn this morning! Must have fallen from the sky! I don't know what it is but I think I will try to sell it. http://webs.lanset.com/aerorv/mini-500/imga0109.jpg

I'm working on a fabric repair on a Pitts, but I'm unsure as to which process was used. I'm familiar with dope processes. This material appears to have no base tint to the fabric (green nitrate/red polyfiber). There is no silver UV coating. There is a white/light grey base coat and a very glossy...

Hi all, Anybody use Electroluminescent Lighting for their instruments/cockpit? Pro's, Con's ... Anybody notice any RF noise or other problems from the power inverter? Thanks

I've been unbale to acess the user's group for the past couple of days. Any one know if they are having a problem? Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com

In the latest Air & Space magazine is a surprisingly technical article on the spar problems on the T-34 Mentors. It shows how Mentor wings (and I presume Bonanza and many other Beech wings) are assembled. Instead of being riveted completely together they are in three main pieces. (1) A main...

Most of you have never heard of Vernon Payne. He's best known as the designer of a spiffy little biplane called the Knight Twister. Rag & tube fuselage, solid spruce spars, plywood skins on cantilevered wings. Slicker than snot on a door knob. First flew about 1929 and continues doing so today...

Someone used masking tape many years ago to cover some screwheads on my leading edge. Pulling it off only gives me strips of masking tape. Any suggestions on how to remove this stuff? - Mike
