radials where the crank was stationary, and the rest of the engine
moved with the prop.
which brought me to this question. why did they use radials? some of
the first planes used inline engines, nut for some reason radials...

has both wi-fi and phone access to the Internet; the Touch has only
wi-fi. The browser on these devices allows you to keep several pages
open. Once open,...

Some tailwheel questions/comments by
Little Endian
This weekend I began my tailwheel endorsement endeavor and had a
lesson in a shiny 160 hp Citabria. It was great fun but the stick and
rudder forces seemed pretty heavy compared to the C-150 I am used to.
The trim was in an unfamiliar position and I didn't get used to using
it enough on the first...

Garmin 296 -- backing it up? by
Cubdriver
It dawned on me that my 296 is three years old and that I ought to
update the software. (I have 2.6, and 4 Something is available.) The
Garmin website tells me to back up my waypoints and routes before
installing the new software.
Fine. I look in the index, but there's nothing under backup. I...

Downwind Landings by
Kyle Boatright
What is your threshold for landing (or departing) downwind? Will you land
knowing you have a 5 knot tailwind? 10 knots? At what point will you
"flip" the pattern to takeoff or land into the wind?
Me? I'm a 5 knot kind of guy (but I fly a taildragger)...
I landed at 3 different fields today...

can someone recommend me a good scanner? by
buttman
I'm in the market for a handheld scanner. Ideally I'd like one that
can both receive and transmit on the 108-136 "airband", as well as be
able to receive ATIS and CTAF broadcasts from military airports, which
I believe are UHF and in the area of 276 MHz. Apparently, such a
device is illegal (that...

The primary training mission was Search and Rescue, utilizing radio
