We're looking at installing landing lights on our Rans S6S. The ones offered by Aircraft Spruce are a bit big, about 5" diameter. I'm trying to find something a bit smaller but equally effective. Does anyone here know what (if any) requirements a landing light has, such as beam angle,...

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.

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...

I have a Bosch 36 V lithium-ion hammer drill motor with batteries and charger. What sort of propeller would be appropriate to stick onto the shaft of that? Would a powered paraglider propeller be too big? I just want to get a rough idea of how much air that motor can push. Any...

Anyone here who has a spare TSO'd altimeter floating around? I'm looking for an 80mm (3 1/8") model with range 0-20.000ft and millibar pressure scale, maybe a Winter or United Instruments?? Thanks! Rob Turk The Netherlands

It is a practical technological innovation for motion detector lights that drastically improve the safety of your home. And they are very cost-effective. There are many effective mechanisms with motion sensor lights but the most common being technology is the PIRs (passive infrared). Since human...

Trading off tandem vs side by side seating I came upon an idea I wanted to run by the group. The mission my aircraft needs to perform is mostly a single place weekend out and back kind of mission, with an occasional 2 person XC trip. I'd been homing on the tandem seat config because I like the...

Anybody got a 214 service manual that I can borrow for a week. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable "rental" plus send a reasonable deposit plus shipping to get it. I freely admit...to blundering and misreading and then using the KI-211 pinout to wire the interconnect to the 170B. Here's some free...

Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

Anyone flying from Ontario to Oshkosh? I would share expenses for the trip. Let me know when you would be going. Thanks.

Hi, As an 8-year (or longer) Kitplanes subscriber, and longtime electronics tech (Army Aviation-trained), I read with interest the articles Jim Weir wrote about building your own RG battery charger (Kitplanes: March, April, & May 2004). This looks just like the ticket for my application, but I did...

Ok, I ran into a little problem... I'm laying out the rib design for a 1931 Georgias Special and it uses a Clark Y-15 airfoil. The coordinates (stations if you will) for upper and lower surfaces start at the leading edge and go back to the rear edge. Chord is supposed to be 48". Adding up...

I applied the first coat of Poly-Brush on a little more than half of my fuselage (experimental homebuilt) before I realized I had not stirred the can of Poly-Brush before using. Once the contents from the bottom were stirred up the coating was definitely a darker shade of pink. Is this going to...

What's the weight penalty for not stripping an old 172, just painting over the old paint, after sanding it first, of course. I'm new at this but willing to make a go of it. I'd like to use a high-gloss polyurethane and some bright colors. TIA for your advice. I've been receiving a lot...
