zoom's zooming againZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ by
ChuckSlusarczyk
Here's a quote from yesterdays ANN article:
"ANN's Jim Campbell, flying an R-44 helo (which is
proving to be an impressive load-hauler, even in the
oppressive heat) in outlying disaster areas..."
What a hoot he's got them convinced at the home office that he's flying relief
missions in a R-44 ....

Drilling holes in steel tubing by
wright1902glider
Hello everyone,
I'm back in the shop again with a new problem. That is, how to drill
accurate holes on-center through steel tubing.
I need to attach 2 short lengths of 1/2" EMT tubing parallel to the top
tube of a bicycle frame, one on each side. The EMT tubes will extend
about 20" forward of...

Headphone/Mic Adapter Question by
GEG
I'm a musician and I have some excellent noise reduction
in-ear headphones. I would like to use these as my
in-cockpit headphones.
Generally - the regular over-the-head, squish-your-ear
things are quite annoying to me.
However - that leaves me with the issue of a mic and adapter
to use these...

Circular Aircraft Hangar by
Jeff
I remember seeing some time back a hangar design that used a circular
dome style building. It showed GA airplanes all backed in and seemed
like it used the space well. A Google search on round, circular, and
dome aircraft hangars did not lead me to the hangar that I was looking
for.
Anyone...

Removing the coatings? by
Michael Horowitz
This is a hypothetical question.
If you were faced with a Ceconite covered wing, and you wanted to
remove coating back to the fabric and start with a new silver coating,
is there any way to gracefully do that?
I'm visualizing someone trying it with MEK and a lot of rags and a
big mess. - Mike

More Sportplanes Hype by
Gordon Arnaut
Well I just came across another piece of advertising masquerading as an
article in Private Pilot magazine.
The author goes up on a short hop in a Sting Sport, another plastic topy
ariplane from the Czech Republic and he's raving about it like it's the

I have an need to disable one side of a dual magneto for my project.
Essentially I am installing a Electroair system to fire one set of plugs and

How to identify fabric/coating process used? by
Wallace Berry
I've got a pair of wings that are finished up through a silver coating
on the fabric. The wings are beautifully made, never been outside, never
even mounted on a fuselage, no rust on the metal parts, no deterioration
of the wood. Glue joints look like new. Rib stitching looks like it was
done...

Neiman Marcus has the Skycar prototype on sale for $3.5M.

If only Moller offered it with the Zoch Diesel....

I was looking at pictures of Yamaha's recently announced Deinonychus

having been designed around electric wheel-motors:

Somehow this same barebones functional look reminded me a bit of...
