Okay, I posted a photo of the Lark by
Badwater Bill
Okay, you guys told me to post binaries to the alt.binary file. I did
that. It's under Badwater Bill and it's titled Lark GLider. I can't
find the shot I took when I was above the crap you see in the
background. But here's the story:
I got a clearance to go up into PC. That's what we called...

tailwheel steering by
Marvin Barnard
I have trouble steering my homebuilt, which is simular of PA-20 and
suspect the steering springs are weak. Of coarse excessive tension would
be too much stress on the rudder steering yoke. Does anyone know the
correct spring rate for the steering springs on a PA-20?

For Sale: Propellor Governor Drive Adapter with Driven Gear by
John Ammeter
As the title says, I've got an governor adapter for sale. I
bought it for use with my Lycoming E2A engine but later
found that the A&P that did the last overhaul on it had
replaced the crankshaft with the wrong one for the E2A.
So, my loss is your gain. I paid $150 for it about 12 years
ago...

Tacile Feedback? by

I'm in the midst of working on my transponder install. I've got three
antenna cables running to the radio/transponder panel. Two are for the
Narco Nav/Comm and attach via BNC, the other used to be soldered to the
rack for the old transponder but will now get a BNC fitting as well.

Alodyne results by
Ed Wischmeyer
To alodyne the two rudder skins and the vertical fin skin on the RV-10,
I used the bottom part of the tail kit shipping box as a "swimming
pool," lined with 4 mil plastic. The sheet I bought was 25' x 10', so
there was enough to line the box twice, fortuitously. I had on hand one
gallon each etch...

Question for Squirrel the Lurker by

Your post on alodine and using boxes to dip wing skins brings up another
question. First, here's a quote from your most excellent post:
I dip all that I can (1 gallon will allow me to dip wing skins). I use

System Three the makers of T-88 epoxy has a product called QuikFair, a
microballoon filled two part epoxy fairing putty. Does anyone have experience

Shakedown: Friction Lock for Old 172 Mixture Control: $60 by

Yeah, and it's just a little U-Shaped piece of steel plate about .020 thick
and hardly bigger than a dime. Tres incroyable.
Well, maybe I couldn't make it for that, and besides, it's got to be an
official Cessna part, or pma'd. The other one broke, and when I told the
owner/a&p it had to be...

Fabric covering processes by
Jerry Guy
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...

When Good Cylinders Go Bad (Pic Posted to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation) by
El Roto
Go on over to see a cylinder head and piston off of a P&W 1830 after the
exhaust valve broke off part way up the valve stem (that's what made the big
hole through the piston). The a/c landed safely and no one was hurt - I
can't say more than that per the request of the a/c owner.
The exhaust...
