About maybe 7 or 8 years ago, there was a good bit of ultralight activity on this forum, as well as the ultralight groups. Some guy named Julian (I STR) moved to Henderson, NV, and had a forum of sorts regarding U/L. Anybody have any idea of what became of that bunch? Thanks,

Yes, ultralight, but not entirely off-topic, as I could be interested in building one. I know this is probably the most knowledgeable forum on the net for this question, I know the original Team Air Bike ownership has passed to someone who is not releasing it for build/sale. But I saw one a...

Test posting - - Sorry, had a system collapse, and maybe...who knows what else? Thanks, Flash

My brother, who is into woodworking, pointed this out to me. I wonder if it is of any use to aircraft designers? There is a free version and a pay-for-play, but they both seem to be competent, capable things. Anybody else even seen this?? How about it, VeeDuber? Flash

Wish I'd have built this one. Although the ads on the video are a pain in the afterburner. Flash

A friend of mine just bought a hot wire foam cutting tool for carving and shaping polystyrene foam. My question is whether the fumes and smoke from doing such carving are a safety/health hazard? Any guidelines for using such a tool safely? Thanks. -Fleemo

Hi, Does anyone have info about sites that are streaming the audio from the tower and/or live video from the field or from one of the arrival check point locations? I know about the AvWeb and the "airsidetv" service, but it is not constant. J

Chris, I have helped build fiberglass, tube and fabric, wood and fiberglass, and all aluminum kits and "plans built" aircraft. Regardless of the construction method there is one thing that stands out about the process of "home-building" and that is Commitment. Commitment, of course,...

82UL was developed several years ago, to be easily produced from automotive fuel. Instead of being produce by only one or two manufacturers as 100LL is, 82UL could be made by any oil company. This should make it cheaper to produce. 82UL is NOT a replacement for 100LL. It is my understanding that...

""Now, back to my question. I am not interested in web sites that talk about filling gas cans in the back of pick ups. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has actually witnessed or knows of someone who has been involved in a combustion occurring from using a plastic or metal gas can. My...

I'm new to experimental aircraft and am surprised by a number of things. The first was a peek inside a Lycoming IO-360. I've spent most of my life around things mechanical...from building cars and racing motorcycles so my first look inside a Lycoming was a surprise. Given the size of the...

In April of 2007 a Mr. Harvey Swack published a letter attacking the "scruples" of Jim Bede, allegedly because Jim Bede did not flight test the aircraft. The letter was in response to an article the son of a BD-5 builder wrote about his experiences with his dad and the building and flying of his...
