Does anyone think it's strange... by
Badwater Bill
So I did a search on this comic phrase: and it came up with a bunch of
Badwater Bill references.... I am flattered that you think I am him..
I suppose my writing is subconsciously influenced by BWB writings as
I thought some of them were nothing short of inspirational. But...

is the plate, "( )" is the barrel, and "O" is the hinge pin. It would
be bolted through the plates to the surface below. The barrel sits
"on top" of the plates. Hope that makes sense.
It's in tension and/or compression (some...

Foil antenna and carbon fiber by
BD5ER
My Internet search didn't turn up what I was looking for so I came here for
advice. The task at hand is the installation of a foil antenna in a composite
canard which would ordinarily be a rather routine task for the plane - a
Quickie - but in this case there are some carbon fiber rods at 25% chord...

I was wondering what the hell was going on here. I guess Osh is on
eh? That's why the normal noise factor is way down. I try to wind
you pricks up a bit and I get a couple lame follow-ups. ****, this is
no fun. When is Osh over? I need controversy. I need conflict. How
long do we have to...

Tanks for nothing (repost from Bearhawk list) by
Del Rawlins
Well, not quite. Total investment excluding labor is about $80 of
aluminum (some of that went towards the main tanks, which I have yet to
assemble), rivets, a couple bucks worth of tubing, some 4043 filler rod,
and probably most of my argon tank by the time both auxiliary tanks are
completed. ...
