DIY Two-Stroke Engine by durabol[_2_]
For the last few years I have toyed with the idea of building a homemade two-stroke engine for UL use. What keyed my interest was reading about homemade model aircraft engines and reading and watching a re-enactment of the Wright brother's first flight with a replica engine (not a two-stroke...

Spinner strobing as a "Bird Strike Countermeasure" by Jim Logajan
The following thread on the Van's Air Force web site was of general enough interest that I thought it worthwhile to bring it to the attention of other pilots: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=24147 Would be quite useful if it really worked. Of course there would still be...

Corky's engine choice by Corky Scott

First-hand video of a BRS deployment. by Jim Logajan

What is best "JB Weld" type epoxy putty? by [email protected]
Just curious if anyone has a decided preference for a specific type of epoxy putty? and why? J.B. Weld is getting to be the generic, but I am not so sure it will work in the high fuel exposure area I was intending it for. Anybody have any experience with something else that they likerd better?

Too Old? by Gezellig
Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be illegal. Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?
