I'm building a carbon fiber airplane and understand that the carbon is too opaque to radio signals to use antennas inside the carbon. (The wing tips are E-Glass and come with navigation antennas already installed.) For communication, marker beacon, and transponder antennas, I'm wondering why...

My Continental 85 is leaking oil and appears to be from pushrod tubes and valve covers. It is on an experimental plane. While I can cure the one leaking valve cover, the pushrod tubes have those heavy "wirecircles with two tangs" over the rubber end fittings. Some tubes are leaking at bottom and...

My wife saw one of these at AirVenture and thought it would be useful for her projects. I'd never heard of it, and seemed pricey ($180 for a nibbler that attaches to your electric drill, plus some spare cutters.) Anybody got any word on this? thanks Ed Wischmeyer

Jack Wilhelmson's web page at www.eznoselift.com is dead or has some kind of a server problem. He's not answering his phone (and there isn't an answering machine) I'm hoping it's just a server glitch and he's at Sun n Fun. Does anyone know if his stuff is available, or has he shut down?

I am trying to piece together the process of vacuum bagging a CF part from several sources and comments. I am trying to achieve a glossy finish on the mold side of the finished part. I though that the gloss that I saw on a purchased part was achieved from GelCoat. The manufacturer tells me no -...

I've noticed that my prop is beginning to show signs of wear -chips in the leading edge, and cracks in the clear finish. Given that I'm having shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks (and probably won't be up to flying until the arm is substantially healed), I should have some time on my hands to...
