The Stukka Dive Bomber had a unique sound, designed to frighten those on the ground. I have tried to find an audio bite on the internet to listen to it, but cannot find it anywhere. Seems like there is a music group with the same name. Does anyone know where I can listen to the sound? Also, was...

Does a prop turning at 2300 rpm on a 150hp motor produce more thrust than a prop spinning 2300 rpm on a 100 hp motor ?

Ok... I'm sure most anyone that reads this will think I'm an idiot, but I'm so curious... Could I build an ultralight airframe from EMT (electrical conduit) from the local hardware store? I know that welding it would be inadvisable due to the fact that it is galvanized (although I understand...

Don't laugh please. I am building a full scale Super Cub replica, all wood, from Light Miniature Aircraft plans. fuselage is on gear and tonight I got the rudder pedals all hooked up with electric fence wire in place of the cables to test pedal angle, rudder deflection, etc. My problem ,is with...

wouldn't that be a nice starting point for an aircraft engine? http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/subarudiesel/1003879266 A flat torque curve until 2500 RPM and about 90HP, seems perfect for a direct drive. One of the questions may be if the prop/hub will suffer by the string power pulses of the...

The recent boxer diesel engine from Subaru has been mentioned here before, but I never heard of anyone actually converting/using it for a light plane. I am now seriously planning to attack such a project myself, though I'll need to hire a lot of engine knowledge because that's not my strong...

Selling a running EA-81 on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7971745025

I've bought a "92-96" EG33 from Engine World that was imported via JDM. All hoses were cut and the ECU was NOT included. I've found the number "022110" stamped on the engine housing near the flywheel. I've been told the 92-96 EG33's were all the same engine. Can anyone verify this or speak on...

Anyone know suppliers of a device that can take the power off a flywheel to power a long shaft? No transmission.

Are their any inexpensive methods of doing this?

I can find quite a quite a lot of information on the internet about the weights of older Subaru engines - although it's not always clear what's included - but nothing on current/newer engines. Does anyone have good figures for "phase engines" or comparisons between different types, e.g. sohc v....

Plans call for wing spar to fuselage carry through attach fiitings to be 7/8x1/8 4130 steel. Advisability of using 9/16x 3/16 6061-T6 aluminum as I have it on hand. Your thoughts please. I have plans for another ship which uses the 6061-T6. Thanks

Does anyone here know if Lloyds 1088 Marine grade Okoume plywood would be a good replacement for Aircraft grade African mahogany? The Okoume used water proof glue and is boiled in water for 3 hours just like Aircraft grade plywood. The price of mahogany appears to be going through the roof and...

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...

This will be an odd request since solid-strand spring steel wire hasn't been used in a/c for nearly 80 years. Here goes: I'm using 15ga. solid-strand spring steel wire in my Wright 1902 glider. It was shipped with an oil-coating that held up for a few months. Problem is that the oil did not...
