Looking for N-3 Pup POH. Will pay for dup and postage.

As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786 (see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of private sector...

Jim Weir wrote an article in the latest issue of Kiplanes (Feb '06) about how to build a Marker Generator. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some of the components he is using? Specifically, the 32kHz clock IC, the op-amp IC, and the diodes going into the clock IC. Also, I am...

SOME promoters of injector carbs (POSA, Lake, Revmaster, AeroCarb and Ellison fall into this category) claim that carb heat is un-necessary. I have always felt, based on my analysis of the physics involved, that this is an un-necessarily risky strategy. Ellison agrees; they suggest carb heat with...

If you're building in aluminum from scratch, one of the most intractable problems is the need for an 8 ft bending brake for most designs. A good one, even used, is about $1000, and at least half that many pounds, although there are alternatives that weigh...

How deep is the hole a "bayonet" type CHT probe fits into? I don't like the spark plug senders, and want to drill the cast-in boss for a CHT sender to suit the probes commonly available, but without a probe in hand, I can't tell whether this is possible. Anybody who can answer this question...

http://users.lmi.net/~ryoung/Sonerai/FuelBowlOnGrBrace.jpg Please take a look at this sketch. My Mongrel Dog is using the fuselage of a Hummel Utracruiser Plus. There is not a lot of real estate available, in part due to the monocoupe beams that extend from the firewall to mount the...

VHS format, you pay postage, contact me off the forum please.

My blog has become a way for me to think out loud about my project. Putting things down in a narrative helps me crystallize my thoughts, and give me something to refer back to when the time comes to move from thinking to doing. Anyway, I've been THINKING about my fuel system, and have put down...

Does anyone have in their shop, or have complete access to, a sheet metal brake, either a leaf/box brake or a press brake, at least 4 feet in capacity, within a 2 hour drive of Oakland, CA? I need one to bend up the longerons of my project. Contact me offline if you do.

Anyone know of a source? Why do we have to pay the shipping for a bunch of water for AS&S?

Did anyone see them? Specifically, did anyone see the Ultracruiser Plus there? I have some detail questions I'm dying to ask.

Wag-Aero has a special this month on quick drains: http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_cat.php/subid=6879/index.html I'm building a mongrel dog of a low wing airplane that uses wing tanks, pretty much like the Hummel Ultracruiser Plus. The tanks themselves are .032 aluminum. The...

A question for those flying auto converisons - how do you secure the oil filter? Aviation oil filters have safety wire tabs. FRAM HP filter, which for various reason are what I need to use on my VW based conversion, no got. Oil filters typically go on finger tight. Losing your oil filter could...

I have 5 circuit breaker switches for sale. (2) 25 amp and (3) 5 amp. I am using a 25 amp as my avionics master switch in my Glasair. I got these as a package deal at an electronics swap meet and don't need the ones for sale. It may be useful to a homebuilder. They are of the electromagnetic...

We have one in our Glasair and I have never been really impressed with it's output. Seems to run around 13.1 volts most of the time except for right after engine start. The ammeter does indicate a net flow of current INTO the battery. That might seem all right but when I start putting...

The City of Torrance (TOA) has passed a resolution mandating a fee for the required annual fire inspection of the hanger. The fee is $200-$500 depending on the size of the hanger. Basically, the fire department has a card table set out near the gate of the airport for a few hours Sat and Sunday...

I inadvertently did not return the ignition switch to "BOTH" after a preflght mag check cause: distraction, I was an idiot) the other day departing in my Glasair with my partner. The engine is a 150hp O-320-E2D. The engine only developed 1900 rpm (2200 is normal for us on 2 mags with fixed pitch...
