Single-Seat Accident Records (Was BD-5B) by
Ron Wanttaja
With the current discussion in another thread regarding the accident record
of the BD-5, I thought it might be interesting to do a little more in-depth
look. I decided to examine the accidents between 1 January 1990 and 13
November 2003 and do a breakdown as to relative accident/fatality...

Fixing the Transponder with Duct Tape and Aluminum Foil by
Ron Wanttaja
I'd installed my new Microair transponder a month ago, but have been having
troubles with interference. The transponder was inducing bad clicking
sounds into the comm radio receiver, making the radio difficult to
understand.
I couldn't really blame the Microair, since the Terra transponder I'd...

Get Rid Of Warbirds At Oshkosh by

I'm prejudiced. Of course I'm prejudiced. In 5000+ flight hours, I've
never come as close to a midair as I did at Oshkosh 1999. Oshkosh Tower:
"BlueOnBlue Cessna, number three for runway 27. Ercoupe put it on the
numbers. Flight of three T6s, cross over runway 27, right downwind for

What is best "JB Weld" type epoxy putty? by
[email protected]
Just curious if anyone has a decided preference for a specific type of
epoxy putty? and why?
J.B. Weld is getting to be the generic, but I am not so sure it will
work in the high fuel exposure area I was intending it for.
Anybody have any experience with something else that they likerd
better?

Fiberglass release agent? by
[email protected]
i planning on building a few fiberglass pieces from a mold this weekend
but don't have time to order a release agent.
From looking at the internet, most release agents are wax based products.
Can I just use paste wax for the mold?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Goldwing Ultralight by
Dale Alexander
What can you folks tell me about the Goldwing Ultralight made in 1981 at
Jackson California? Some friends received a 75% complete kit from the widow
of a deceased builder and have asked me to try and figure out what to do
with it. It looks as if the wings need to be built but most of...

Fixing up the Airpath Compass. by
brian whatcott
The Airpath compass is meant to work in a fluid
filled chamber.
A bubble is an annoyance. A leak leaves you with a
trembling indicator that won't indicate a heading
with any reliability.
Gasket and fluid kits are not that high.
From Chief etc. $20-$30
If caught short, don't try making a...

RANS S-9 Chaos loses a wing by
Jim Logajan
Video of wing failure via AVweb:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8cntPdRtk
RANS S-9 loses a wing in an airshow doing aerobatics; pilot survives
because plane is equipped with BRS and promptly deployed.
Natural to wonder whether some earlier stunt actually partially cracked the
spar.

basic spar construction by
Dave Schneider
Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where they show the
process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm confused on how a
spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the foam itself would
provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem like you'd...

High Altitude operations (Turbo charge???) by
Andre
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?
