pTooner
Firstly, I am new here although I've been reading for a few days. For
anyone with more knowledge than I, I keep considering building a small 4
wing aircraft. Not stacked, but two up front and two in the rear. I have
read frequently of problems supposedly resulting from interference of...

from the audience; don't use an omnidirectional microphone, the...

Fiberglass vs. Fabric by
Lou
Ok, I just finished reading Tony Bingelis's "sportplane builder"
section on covering a wooden plane with fiberglass instead of the
intended fabric. Has anyone in this group ever done this or some who
knows someone who has done this? I'm building a wooden place that
calls for
a fabric covering. ...

Oshkosh patches wanted! by
John T
Hi all,
I'm looking for the following Oshkosh patches:
1989, 1992, 1993, 1997.
I may be also in the market for a volunteer patch for 2005, as I can't
seem to find mine.
I've started putting together my patch vest, and those 1989 and '90s
patches are the ones EAA no longer has in stock.

planning my project... by
Bob Martin
I'm still a few years away from being able to start building, but I'm
already looking into possible kits.
What I'd really like, but would probably be unable to afford, is an RV-7
or -8. I could try to scrounge it all together,as one guy in my dad's
hangar did; he built a -6A without ordering a...

O/A welding question: tip size by
mhorowit
I'm having a welding problem. I'm using an OxyAcy rig. I'm
running 2 psi for each gas thru a .025 diameter tip. I find that in
order to weld join two pieces of .035 tubing with this tip, I must
adjust the flame until it's no larger than 3/16" long. Otherwise
I'm heating up too much of an area and...

Hansi
If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an
Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying
Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying
doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying...

Arlington lays some eggs by
Ken Finney
This will be a negative post, but hopefully, constructive criticism. I've
been to Oshkosh once, lots of small fly-ins, and every year for the past
eight years to the Arlington Fly-In (www.nweaa.org). Oshkosh is SO big, it
is difficult to take away a lot of lessons that are applicable to...

What was that welding exercise/exam? by
mhorowit
Somewhere I read about a welding exercise where the student built a
tube frame of some sort, pressurized it, checked for leaks, then
smashed it flat and rechecked for leaks.
I've looked thru my books but can't find it. Anyone recall where I can
find a description of the exercise? - Mike
