Considering building a Fly Baby by
TerryJ
I am 65, retired and don't have a license to fly anything. I am fairly good
with woodworking (built a few pieces of furniture and my father was a master
carpenter) and have the basic shop tools so was considering a Fly Baby. Any
advice or opinions from you folks that have 'done it'?

Life Insurance Coverage in Experimental Aircraft? by
Carl Orton
It's Saturday, so I haven't had a chance to call my agent, but my wife
brought up a question that may nix me building an airplane.
If I die in my homebuilt aircraft, does my life insurance pay out? My
policy covers me if I pilot an aircraft, but for the life of me I have no
idea if there's an...

What's the best venue to sell used aircraft parts? by
Rob Bulaga
I have some slightly used aircraft parts; i.e. Airmaster hub, rotary
engines, etc. I'm sure there's an opinion or two out there on where's
the best place to list these items for homebuilders to find them. Ebay
is obvious, but doesn't really cater to this audience. Other
suggestions?

A-65 Oil screen thread pitch? by
Scott
Doe anybody know what the thread pitch for the oil screen is on a
Continental A-65? I have slightly boogered threads on the engine
threads and I want to run a set of dies through (I bought a tool with
the dies from McMaster Carr). It looks like 16 TPI is the closest.
Does that sound...

oddball RFI problem by

could never get it to fail in flight. I pulled and prodded all the...

37 degree fitting by
Ernest Christley
The most recent Sport Aviation has an article on make up hoses. The
author states that 'you must use 37 degree fittings' and as is typical,
gives no reason why. Is there a reason for this that involves the laws
of nature, vs the "laws of the FAA"?
