Resorcinol is the recommended adhesive for wooden aircraft? To what degree is carpenters glue the same thing?

I'm building an RV, and am considering using mogas, or at least having the option of using it. Problem is that mogas has a higher vapor pressure (among other anomalies), and this in turn can cause vapor lock. Routing of the fuel lines is quite important, as well as the proper cooling of the...

I had been watching their progress with the Skyrocket III until everything just seemed to drop off. Web site is mostly down and no new info anywhere. Does anybody know any details or where I can track their progress? Thanks in advance

I operate off an airfield with a ground elevation of 5327 feet ASL. Obviously my engine (VW 1835cc with Zenith Carb) feels the altitude somewhat. I am thinking.... Would Turbo charging help? What about an electric blower to increase manifold pressure maybe? Or how about a NOS system?

I am wondering... My Sonerai has 4 stub exhausts cut to a 45 degree angle facing forward for some back presssure. I want to add some silencers to my setup. (Maybe one on each side...) Is it important that the distance from each cilinder exhaust port to the silencer is exactly equal or can I have...

So now I'm thinking... How do I measure the Horsepower of my Sonerai's 1835cc VW motor? Or do I just make a couple of assumptions? Prop 52" dia. 42" pitch motor can turn it 3000rpm static at WOT and a ground elevation of 5000 feet and temperature of 31 degrees Celsius or 87.8 degrees F. Assuming...

I have an EGT gauge and sensor arrangement that came out of a Jabiru. I want to install it in my Sonerai. What distance from the Exhaust port should I drill the hole for the sensor probe?

Hi All! My Sonerai is currently equiped with dual ignition. I've got a slick magneto running off the flywheel end as well as a normal stock distributor (that has been shortened somewhat and fixed timing) in the normal distributor location. The thing I don't like is the magneto hanging halfway...

Hi gentlemen, subject says it all. Are there already any experiences with the new Jabiru 5100 engine? So far the only information I have found was the one on the Jabiru website. Bye Andreas

I've heard of prepregs which have the resin and hardener separated within the fabric, which can be activated by applying pressure with a squeegee or similar tool. I searched the internet but I can only find the standard premixed prepregs which need to be kept in a refrigerator and cured at elevated...

Recently I designed and built a nav light system for my Europa aircraft using the Luxeon LEDs with great results. I also measured the radiation pattern (after fitting the LEDs to the aircraft) and compared it to the FAR specs. It exceeds the requirements by 3-5 times, and draw only 2 Amps total....

I am using the following steps for treating my aluminum parts: - scrub clean with Acetone and scotchbrite - dry - scrub clean in Metalprep-79 and scotchbrite - rinse in water - repeat until water forms smooth sheet (water break test) - dip in alodine 1201 until part turns golden brown - rise in...

Hi All: I've held my private cirt for a year now, and it's time to stop renting, or time to start the process of stopping. Homebuilding is an option. Which kit? The more I look, the more I see. I'd really like to hear what you builders have to say as to which kits I should look at. After about...

CC: Zenith Aircraft Company I have an aeronautical engineer friend retired from McDonnell Douglas who once was in charge of the Harrier project for the U.S. team. I respect his opinion which is that pull type, "pop" rivets are only used on aircraft where a bucked rivet could not possibly be...

Dear Aviation Enthusiasts, I teach math in an inner city high school in Southern Illinois. I've been studying airplane projects to build myself alone but also have thought about forming a high school aviation club to build an airplane. There is at least one one high school building the...

For those among you who have seen (at OSH or aggressively shopped) and compared current generation of EFIS who is currently putting out the best product/$$ in the $5K $7.5K and 10K regimes? I am afraid some of you homebuilders are looking at some of those the $35K (G1000) products into your...

I know it is a giant leap for many but let's assume Zoom was an upstanding aviator/aviation writer. Why would he pay someone to antagonize potential customers? No matter how cute the Chihuahua, the tamale vendor would not keep him if he peed on every customer's ankle.
