The FAA is doing much like the FCC did with Hams. Both hobbies are dying. Kids are just not lining up to get licensed. Thus a need for an entry level license. BTW, the only hobby that seems to be growing is RC cars and aircraft. Something as expensive as aviation will never be the province...

All right, I *know* it's a stupid idea. But it seems like it'd be fun to build. I've got a Narco Escort II in my airplane. Like most (all?) Narcos, it requires separate antennas for the transmit and receive sides. My airplane has a ~25-year-old coax dipole antenna, and the "CW McCall's...

I think it might be healthy to be reminded ocasionally that bad things can happen if you don't respect what your doing, especially in aviation. Perhaps it'll make me a little more thorough on subsequent preflights. And I find no problem with learning from other's mistakes. So I watched the video...

I've been looking for a gyroplane ready to fly. I've seen a few offered on eBay, went to look at them and they we rarely described correctly. I've seen one on ebay that's in California and it has a good description, good pictures and so on, but that's quite a drive to go see it before bidding. I...

Greetings, I am building a Monnet Moni that was purchased partially completed. I have found a number of components that were poorly fabricated (the "V" Tail front spar doubler looks like swiss cheese!)and I need to recreate them. Unfortunately the original builder did not copy the full size...

I need some help for a customer on wiring a helicopter headset plug into the XCOM rado. The plug in question is known as a Nexus plug or a US Nato plug or a U-174/U or a TP-101, you can see how it becomes hard to find out what this really is..... Does anyone know what the different connectors are...

WallMart has Eveready NiMH 2300 cells, about 11 bucks for 4. I don't think that is expensive, for how many charges you can get out of them. And you are right, they kick alkaline's As* ! :-) I bought an 8 pack from Wally World for appx $17 about 2 weeks ago. FYI.... The previous versions...

Please forgive me if I've posted this request here before. Memory is the second thing to go... Looking for two things: 1. An old KX-170B, working or not. If not, no trash that some hamhand tried to "fix" by ripping its guts out with a crowbar. 2. Mounting tray for same complete with power...

Hi All, Can someone please tell me who manufacturers the shock chord rings for aircraft such as the J-3 Cub ... I know who sells them but I want to know who makes them. Details of a web site, email address or at worst phone fax number would be appreciated. Are all undercarriage shock rings made...
