Air and Space Museum by
Some asked when the new Air and Space Museum at Dulles is
going to open. I was in the Teminal the other day and
they have a poster up with a picture and the opening date
of Dec 15, 2003. The picture on the poster looked amazing.

Oshkosh 2005 pictures up by
Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home
to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to
weed through all 1992 pictures I took.
I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but
at least they're broken up into...

Continental A-65 Price by
Hey all,
I'm starting a homebuilt project (obtained partially completed) and was
wondering what kind of price I'm looking at for a Continental A-65 with a
couple hundred hours left on it. How about an overtime engine?
Thanks,
-Tony

So Cal Aviation Boneyards by
Hey guys and girls,
A friend and I would like to crawl some junkyards for inspiration, possibly
parts that catch our eye, and frankly because we really want to. Are there
still places around (let's say within a couple hours' drive of the LA area)
that will let you wander and rummage? We're not...

Greetings, fellow aviation nuts
I'm an aerospace engineering student at Cal Poly Pomona here in southern
California (what other subject would I possibly have majored in?...). A
friend and I, being the ever ambitious students we are, are considering a
homebuilt project.
I've got some questions...

nissan 3.5 liter by
Hello,
Has anyone looked at this engine for use on a plane? It looks to me like it
might have possibilities. It's used in a bunch of different vehicles with
different outputs from 240hp all the way up to 287hp due to different
exhausts, intakes and computers (I think). Anyway the stats as...

Curtiss Pusher Model D by
A couple friends and I are planning to build a 1911 Curtiss. We acquired
plans from the Curtiss Museum a number of years ago and hope to finally get
started soon. While the plans are quite detailed in some ways, there are
many things that are not specified. Even the type of wood used is not...

Wing in ground effect by
(blank)
Can anyone lead me to a homebuildable WIG? I know Universal
Hovercraft has plans for a wing attachment to one of their kits, but
that's not what I'm after. I have found a towable glider, and that
has promise, but I'd rather not re-invent a wheel that's already out
there.
Thanks.

out details of the project?
I picked up a VHF aviation radio from a surplus store and for the life of
me, I can't seem to find any information on it. There is a sticker on the
back stating serial number, DARPA...

cheap, durable, homebuilt aircrafts- myth or truth? by
-=:|SAJAN|:=-
Well as far as i know the concept of home homebuilt aircraft is very
vague because it would work only the aircraft controls are very easy
to understand or a person building it a pilot himself, else, either
the aircraft would crash or it wouldn't take-off. The second thing is
that if they are...
