Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words... http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2464715274 They call it a HoverCopter, I'd suggest the name CrapCycle. You be the judge.

Word is the threat level's going to orange. Expect more airspace restrictions, ATC delays, etc.

Jim, From info I have located on the internet, I have cobbled together a circuit diagram for illuminating my instrument panel using LED's. I was wondering if I emailed you a copy, would you would be kind enough to take a peek at the circuit and see if I missed anything? Electronics isn't my...

Is it me again or are the text and wiring diagrams hosed up again in the Feb Kitplanes PTT followup? Jim

We are looking for 2-3 UPCO S-III-S ejection seats in flightworthy condition or (at the most) in need of refurbishment Thanks, Rafi Yoeli www.urbanaero.com

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...

Just a sampling. There's volumes more in Google, enough to make a stout hog retch: Amen to HBW's comments. I've had the same problems with Spruce; screwed up orders and no one who gives a damn. The fact that they got so big so quickly is not an excuse for ****ty service. Unfortunately, they...

I want to see nude women sunbathing from above. How can I build such a plane?

Which is better? Thanks, -- John Kimmel girls = time x money time = money

I checked out a fuel tank transmitter the other day. Under an inspection panel, a single screw terminal connects a wire to the guage from a rheostat hooked to a float. I clipped a test lead on the transmitter terminal, and grounded the other end. The gauge read FULL (as it should) So the...

In the latest Air & Space magazine is a surprisingly technical article on the spar problems on the T-34 Mentors. It shows how Mentor wings (and I presume Bonanza and many other Beech wings) are assembled. Instead of being riveted completely together they are in three main pieces. (1) A main...

Has anyone put a fuel-injection system on an O-200? If so, what are the results? You're probably wondering why. I was just curious about doing this. Calvin

Hello All. I'm contemplating building a float plane - west coast of Canada. I've flown mostly C-180 and C-185 on floats, so I have a pre-conception that aluminum is a good material for the salt water environment. Murphy's a good choice and local too. I like Zenair's 801 as well. Been intrigued...

I'm looking for the Magellan website and can't seem to find it. I need information on their altitude encoder. Thanks Dave

Hope this isn't bad form to ask so direct a question. Just wondering what you folks think about Mr. Algie's aircraft kit. It has seen some great progress over the years, and while I realize it doesn't yet fly, the man seems quite serious and the design appears very well thought out and...

I thought I would throw out this old debate question to get peoples personal experiences and reasons for preferences? Thanks

I imagine circumstances dictate this to some degree, but if your A&P does some work for you, do you tip him? Percentage? - Mike

Looks like the F16 over shot the runway on landing and collapsed the nose gear... http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-643829 -- Richard Lamb http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb http://www.home.earthlink.net/~sv_temptress
