Does this mean that your hotel in Iowa is closing, or are you going to be operating two separate hotels, one in Iowa and one in Texas? Although we seriously considered keeping both hotels, the distance (1,240 miles) apart is just too great. Therefore, it is for sale. -- Jay Honeck Iowa...

I would like to be able to share expenses and work on my experimental aircraft now and in the future. I would like to have a partnership with several others both to build and to operate an experimental 4 to 6 place aircraft. Perhaps, especially in building, this is not advisable. I would like to...

I need to have someone explain to me the advantages of two different Aerobatic engines: IO-360 with Christen Inverted Oil system VS an AEIO-360. Are there any inherent benefits of one over the other when doing acro with negative G maneuvers? Or are they essentially the same? Can you take any...

I'm working on a project and need some advice. My goal is to find the cheapest and easiest way to "laminate" two sheets of fabric together with a sheet of netting sandwhiched in the middle. Still with me? For example.. I'll put a yard of ripstop nylon fabric on the table.

Anyone know any details other than what's reported here? http://www1.faa.gov/avr/aai/M_0805_N.txt Looks like a bad ending for the most beautiful airplane I've ever seen...

IAG has posted a link to a video of some interesting cross-wind landing tests. Does FBW offer any assistance for extreme cross-wind lindings or is it best to let the pilot do it by training and instinct? Thursday, June 01, 2006 Crosswind Video - Boeing tests

Hello all, I have searched and read the posted info on converting a military low impedance headset for use in GA aircraft. Does anyone have a schematic or have they actually built the lo - hi impedance transformer and mic amplifer? I hate buying stuff I know I could build. Current pricing on the...

Intermittent problem with an Aerospace Logic VA-100 Volt & Amp indicator. Volt side works at all times and is accurate, amp side works properly occasionally but more often than not displays -0.0 amps. When it does work it indicates charges and discharges properly. Unit supposedly shipped with a...

You might work in aircraft maintenance If... 1. You've ever slept on the concrete under a wing 2. You've ever said, "Oh yes sir, it's supposed to look like that." 3. You've ever sucked OXY to cure a hangover. 4. You know what JP4/JP8 tastes like.

Looking at a LSA (Australian Ultralight) 6061 homebuilt for next to sea outside storage. I would prefer not to paint it and loose ~ 1hr of fuel so would a geen/gold chromate colour loose too much in corrosion protection? Rude comments invited. -- regards jc

Can any one give me info from when my dad was killed at fun in the sun on April 12,1996. Please I need closer

As a pet/learning project I made a data aquisition unit using an 8051 microprocessor and an EPIA M motherboard running a variant of Linux to process and display the information. It all works but the EMI from the EPIA M causes way too much noise to the aircraft radios. I have tried shielding the...

Heres a question that I don't seem to get a straight answer on. I want to build a wooden aircraft. Instead of using sitka spruce, I'm considering douglas fir. Since fir is stronger by approx. 25%, can the limitations of the plane be pushed up by 25%? Is there a formula to go by, or a place to...

Looking for a safe plug for a battery that will be routinely removed from a glider. Any suggestions? JD

Anybody know how I can get a plot or coordinates for the Lu Sunderland airfoil section (a leading edge mod to the NACA 64 section Thorp used) used on the S-18? John

I'd posted this in the "liar and fraud" thread but someone suggested nobody would see it as that thread had kinda petered out. It's a good summary of the reality of Bush's Guard record: "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message ... richard...

I have a customer with a pair of factory reman IO 540s with less than 100 hours on them. After landing he will sometimes find the bendix drives on the starters partially and occasionally fully engaged. It does not happen every flight but sometimes every other flight. On at least two occasions...

I saw an article that says to not let Alodine sit for more than four hours after application. One question is, does the group agree with that? Second, if you don't get primer painted by that time, do you try to wash it off, reapply, what? The proper application of alodine is after...
