Is the R44 safer than the R22? by
Capt. Doug
Wooduuuward wrote in message I read that the R44 sales have 'taken off'.
From frequently browsing
the FAA crash reports, the R22 is listed almost every other week there.
The R44 is larger, faster and flys higher. Is it safer?
i.e.: in the last month: there are four incidents listed for...

Ack! My ACK! by
Fastglasair
"Well done, good and faithful servant" Mike, you handled this newsgroup
"situation" admirablely in my opinion (no doubt not worth much here). This web
board is in desperate need of a modicum of civility (a large dose is probably
to much to ask). It goes way beyond normal or reasonable bantering...

Ack! My ACK! by
MikeremlaP
Am wondering if there's a design flaw in the ACK E-01 ELT or just an anomaly?
Our unit went off by itself today because the battery in the remote panel mount
indicator died, triggering the ELT, and I'd like to know if anyone else has had
this happen?
If a dying battery in the remote ***always***...

welding rod by
Del Rawlins
A while back I posted that after trying E70S-6 filler rod for TIG
welding 4130 steel, that I preferred using S-2 although the S-6 worked
fine. I had more parts to weld tonight, and at Bruce Frank's suggestion,
I first sanded the copper coating off the rod and then wiped it with
acetone. It made a...

Anyone still flying gyrocopters? by
[email protected]
I flew helos in the Marines, and in the '60s put together a Benson kit.
It logged about 220 hours with zero problems, including a highly idiotic
trip from the CA coast to Catalina. In 1972, however, my wife-to-be
insisted it go before the wedding bells.
Are any of these still around?

Powered Parachute Plans by
MJC
A friend of mine has a power chute made by one of the most respected
companies around. Still, he's crashed it 3 times now.
If a well designed power chute is a handful, maybe you might want to
reconsider making your own from scratch.
Those things look innocent, but they _can_ bite you.

Murphy Super Rebel: Where are they? by
Tim Hickey
For five or six years now I have been waiting to see a number of Super
Rebels on the flight line at OSH. But they never seem to show. Do any
of you guys have any first hand information about that bird? It has my
interest, but I want to wait and see how the real world evaluates it.

Missing OSH by
Morgans
Well, I just got the news today, that I will have to undergo back fusion
surgery, and will not be able to go to OSH this year. It breaks my heart,
but I am looking forward to some relief of my pain.
Drink one for me, gang!

Fairing question... by

I need to replace some of my fairings on my Tripacer. They're all simple,

This morning I see in the newspaper that the plane and the pilot have been

War Stories: Good degreaser? by
B2431
I've heard of them doing up to
150 octane (I don't know how that's chemically possible, but that's
what they say)
It's not based on the hydrocarbon octane anymore. Most automotive gas pumps
have the formula decal.

Airworthiness certification of an experimental by
Ace Pilot
Where can I find a fairly detailed explanation of the airworthiness
certification of an experimental aircraft? Specifically, I'd like to
know if experimentals get certified in a class (land, sea, single
engine, multi-engine) or just in category. I'm sure I'll have
additional questions, which is why...
