Flying on the Cheap - Instruments by
[email protected]
To All:
Recently a fellow discovered my post about flying on the cheap (Oct
2001) and got so excited he had to give me a call. Although he
wasn't quite ready to begin building, my article convinced him to
take the plunge. As his first step toward building an inexpensive
flying machine he'd ...

Flying on the Cheap - Wood by
[email protected]
To All:
A few years ago I posted an article offering some hints about how to
build an inexpensive airplane that was safe and reliable (Flying on the
Cheap, October 2001; Google will find it for you). The key point in
the article was the use of commonly available mild steel tubing for...

Flying on the Cheap -- Headsets by
[email protected]
In the March 2006 issue of 'Sport Aviation,' back on page 130 is a
short article by Kathleen L. Witman that shows some examples of antique
avionics. But if you're interested in antiques most pilots need look
no further than their own headset.
See that quarter-inch phone plug? It dates from the...

flying platform by
Bill3
Having just driven a Segway for the first time, I imagined what a
three dimensioanl version would be like. Spent some time online
looking at Hiller's flying platform, which seemed closest. Was unable
to find any information on current attempts to re-create the flying
platform. Does anyone know...

Flying platforms/airgeeps by
David L. Burkhead
How would something like the Hiller flying platforms, the Piaseki "AirGeeps"
or, for that matter, the Avro Aircar, done as a homebuilt be licensed? They
don't seem to fit any of the normal categories I'm familar with.

Flying the small block Chevy by
Bret Ludwig
Is there an existing design (besides the Mustang and Spitfire scale
replicas) that would nicely take an iron block SBC with a belt redrive?
I figure that would be very popular with builders with hot rod
backgrounds, especially a two seater like a little T-6/Vibrator/Provost
trainer. True a smaller...

Flying to Fields near OSH by
Rob McDonald
I unexpectedly have the opportunity to fly to Airventure for a few days. A
friend who has done this before has recommended that I fly to a field near
OSH rather than right in to Wittman Regional. I will be flying around the
north end of Lake Michigan.
Do you have any recommendations for which...

Flying wing vs tailless airplane by
BernadetteTS
What is the difference between a flying wing and a tailless airplane? Is
there a difference? Just wondering after reading the post about the
monarch glider a few weeks ago. Where would an ME-163 be classified.
Does an F-106 or B-58 delta wing count as a tailless airplane?
Thanks
Bernadette

Flying wires by
[email protected]
Just out of curiosity, I notice that all of the Pitts aircraft have
flying and landing wires attached on only the main spars, and the Acro
Sport aircraft have them attached on both the main and rear spars.
From what I have seen, the wings on both aircraft aren't made much
differently, and I...

Flying with an unfilled weave? by
LakeCapt
Hello,
Has anyone seen any data/research showing the performance gains of
filling the fiberglass weave of a composite aircraft such as a KR-2?
For example, if a KR is built with a RAF-48 or NACA wing
(non-laminar), if layups were done over a smooth substrate (smooth
foam), and the weave of an...

Foam ? by
Neil
Ok, I am restoring a hovercraft, not a airplane, but the techniques may be
the same....I hope.
I have to bond foam into a existing fibreglass shell, to support the
fibreglass, and to make the unit float in water. The original builder used
canned foam, with pretty poor results. Any ideas?
Thanks in...
