I just got done building my niece a HUGE dollhouse for her birthday next month and it dawned on me that I got the plans for the dollhouse from my neighbor who build one for his granddaughter and one of the guys at work asked if he could get a copy of the plans now that I'm done. So what do those of...

Have had a tig in basement for several years and hardly used. Now that I need it I find that I really suck at it. Started practicing welding little pieces of 4130 together. Decided no way I am touching my fuselage with it and dragged out the mig which I can do ok with. But didn't quite give up and...

Well folks, I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms on this. I searched the usenet archives on google about this, and nothing quite answered my question, so... I emailed Skystar, but want to ask here too. The kit manufacturer claims a 150mph cruise and 160mph top speed. This seems a little...

Dan Rather/ CBS Evening News is advertising a sensational news story about small airport security, or, as the advertisement implies, the serious lack of it. Typical tag line: "What we found out will surprise you!" Ok...prepare to be surprised...and gutted...and vivisectioned...only as the media...

Hi guys, I've just bought a Spezio Tuholer, can anybody help me with tips on handling and performance, has anybody produced pilot's notes? Mal

Hello community, imagine one would like to build a Pitts S1. What would be your recommendation to start from? I heard Aviat owns the plans for the S1-S, Steen for S1-C and S1-SS (?). Is there anybody who has build one before and has some good advice? Since there are "only" plans available, is...

I'm still trying to select an aircraft to build from scratch and it's starting to look like it's coming down to the engine (budget reasons of course). I really like the Pietenpol Aircamper but from what I've read you need a Rotex or other "aircraft" engine and of course that's expensive. I was also...

I read with keen interest the articles on Jim's capacitive fuel gauge and want to build two. Has anyone made available a printed circuit board for it? Where could I get one or two? Lastly, does nyone have any cheap circuits for a tachometer? Thanks Dave

Roger that. I took your advice and cross posted. "dlevy" wrote in message ... Shouldn't you have cross posted this to more groups? How about rec.aviation.homebuilt? How about rec.aviation.ifr? "plumbus bobbus" ...

All, I just thought I would post this information in case anyone is interested. Cessna flap motor assembly, currently at $14.50, item #2455275171 Matco wheels and brakes, starting at $100, item #2455276951 I acquired these from a friend but don't need them for my project (Cozy

Howdy All, What is the consensus among homebuilders on using parachutes: either personal or ballistic for the whole airplane? While they are expensive, it seems like they might be pretty cheap insurance. All thoughts and ideas welcome, tom pettit

Anyone else see anything funny that Mr. Orr chose ANN to publish his 'response' to the heat he is getting from AOPA and thousands of pilots around the country? You almost wonder if he actually wrote it but then you realize that here is a match made in heaven. CBS and ANN. -- Christopher J....

Hi all, Just wondering if any homebuilt aircraft have crossed the Atlantic non-stop - who was it and which aircraft. -- We wish you A Prosperous New Year Meilleurs Voeux - Frohe Festtage - Felices Fiestas - Tanti Auguri - Beste Wensen

Howdy, What books have you found most useful for building, outfitting, and testing an all aluminum homebuilt? thanks, tom pettit

From: (Alan Horowitz) opinions are solicited. Please be detailed. Extras points if you don't re-post complete text of prior posts when commenting on same..... You will probably get a zillion responses for this.

Okay, folks -- this is rapidly getting out of hand! I would never have guessed that I'd get EIGHTY-TWO suggestions for this list! Can everyone please scan this list, and MAKE SURE that these are REALLY "taxi-up" accessible using a G.A. plane? I don't want folks (like me!) who are unfamiliar...

P.S. By the way, what about nomenclatu Pitts S1S, S-1S or S1-S....?
