Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down behaviour? I tried a google search without much success. Having seen the Charley pictures from Orlando Executive and Punta Gorda, I'm wondering if we are doing the right thing. The standard for tricycle gear GA planes seems to...

I want to build a Weddell-Williams racer. The #121 Gilmore Red Lion version. Does anyone know where I can get a set of plans for it? I'm just finishing my present homebuilt and need a new project.

Trying to repair the foot on the extension laddder I use in the hangar. It needs a new rubber foot. I'm riviting a 1/4" piece or rubber to the aluminum foot. Then I want to glue a 1/8" piece to the that to cover the rivet heads. So the glue joint would mostly be in compression and would

Looking to buy a set of plans for the all wood Turner T40A or the T40A Super. The website listed in Kitplanes is dead and I called the number and left a message on the machine identifying them as the Turners but no return phone call. Anyone have a set they've been wanting to get rid of?

Is there a quick way to calculate what the hinge moment (or turning moment for the flap shaft for a specified condition) is for a flap on a symetrical foil.

The bad news: There was a welded repair on the #2 cylinder, right next to the intake valve. Looks like the stress around the repair warped either the valve stem or the valve guide. There was no scoring on the cylinder walls and the rings were intact, and it was apparent that oil was coming in...

that has about 100hp, can fly basic aerobatics safely and cruise at least 150mph. My reference and comparison of this design is Cessna A150. I want a design that has the same aerobtic capability as Cessna A150 with lighter control(Stick of course!), and flys much faster. What I can think of...

A group of us are building a Pulsar and expect to license it in exp-LSA and are seriously considering the 80 horse Jabiru as a powerplant. The engine, and FWF kit are less than the Rotax, without having a gearbox to complicate things. Who out there has experience with this...
