This thread is not about how to balance a prop or shop balancing machines. Did anyone use BalanceMasters device bolted on their ultralight prop? These devices apparently balance the prop continuously as you fly. Similar devices are used on truck wheels - see www.BalanceMasters.com and...

Something about the thread, regarding transmitting power from one radio being funnelled into the other radio made me take pause. In the Houston area (and I'm sure most other major cities) there is an antenna farm that has a collection of FM, AM and TV broadcast antennae. I would estimate there are...

My Lyc. O320-D2C idles rough on the right mag, with the #3 cyl showing an EGT drop. The roughness clears up above 1200 RPM or so, still on one mag. It's also noticably smoother on just the left mag, and everything's smooth on both mags. In flight #3 CHT runs 50 degF hotter than the rest, as well...

The first edition of my video is up on the net. There is one glitch that I can't seem to figure out. At 14.40 into it the video locks up. For some reason the progress arrow that moves under the pic outruns the fed data. I have been able to view the second half of the video by simply taking the...

new to this site.. are there any home built aircraft news groups in Australia? I have looked at the SAAA and Ultalight federation pages. I am thinking of building kit plane Down Under.I am a pilot as well as a Airframe Eng mech. Chris.

Some equipment I installed mentions form 337 - for example VOR/LOC/GS receiver, IFR GPS, etc., Is 337 required in a new kit project? It is for "Major repairs and alterations". Or does the DAR approve the whole package together? Please advise any required...

I googled, but there's not much infor. about converting the turbine in the microturbine generator for aircraft use. So I am tossing my idea here. The Capstone's microturbine generator looks very neat. The generator has 60kw output, and the turbine itself should have higher output, enough for a...

Michelin recomends inflating tires with nitrogen. What about Argon? I got a bottle of argon I use in Mig welding aluminum. Isn't argon better than Nitrogen? What about the common 75% Argon and 25% CO2 welding mixture?
