Kevlar - Styrofoam material, where to get more by
[email protected]
I apologize, this is unrelated to aviation, but it is a question about
a material some of you may be familiar with. I recently found this
material in my lab, and for the life of me, I can not find out where
it came from. It is perfect for a project I am currently working on,
and I would love to...

A Falco's wing by
Lou
Can anyone tell me what covering is used on a Falco?
I'm pretty sure it's plywood, but is it 100% plywood?
Anyone know how thick? Also, is there anything over the plywood like
dacron
or fiberglass?

Evening Admission at Oshkosh by
Paul Dow (Remove Caps in mail address)
If I remember correctly (a rare event) they let you in to the grounds
after 5 PM with the next day's wrist band. Is that correct? I'm
arriving late on Tue. Cheap person I am, I'd like to save a bit.
I see from the forum schedule that they're running them until 8 PM.
I'll be missing the Beach...

About Finished by

Buy this great 172G so I can roll the money over into another project.
I have been working on it for a dam* year and a half. Keeps me out of
flame wars.
You should see the powder-coated control wheels, what flashy little
darlins they are.
Better description in rec.aviation.marketplace. Pride of...

Prang Rate? by
Colin W Kingsbury
With the winter doldrums well set in, this spamcan pilot has gotten to
thinking again about trying something different in aviation- specifically
the homebuilt/LSA area. Something not too expensive to operate, on floats
(or a boat-hull) sounds like a lot of fun and might get me up in the air
more...

Homebuilt Inspections by
john smith
Other than the signoff for flight, why would the FAA get involved in the
annual inspection of a homebuilt?
I was watching the national news (ABC) last night (Wednesday) and
watched a segment which took place in an FAA hangar in Washington DC.
There were five FAA types with clipboards going over a...

Spaceship 1 by
Badwater Bill
Don't ya love it! Mike Melville of all people earned that ride by
working with Burt for more than 30 years on all the projects. Mike
was around before the Long EZE. At 62 years old, Mike becomes an
astronaut. Burt doesn't pick some snot nosed little 30 year old smart
ass fighter jock, but puts...

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"?

Aircraft down in North GA by
Wright1902Glider
The news reported yesterday or the day before that an experimental ultralight
plane (they obviously don't know that there is a difference) crashed in north
GA. There were no details beyond this. Anyone have more to add?

This engine has got to be getting close to bridging the gap between
ultralight and RC (understanding it is expensive for an ultralight)

Oshkosh Bound Posters by
RST Engineering
The 2005 Oshkosh Bound documents are up on the website for download. There
are two zip files. One contains all the posters (camping, classic,
homebuilt, camping, etc) and the other contains a clean graphic of the
Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh runway procedures.
Comments and error-reporting appreciated.

Any alternative to Europa XS? by
Shin Gou
I am looking for a design with: 100-120hp engine, 600lbs plus useful
load AND the baggage room for the load capacity, 130miles plus
cruising speed. The useful load should be the real one already in use,
not on paper.
Seems Europa XS meets these requirement and can be much faster, though
the useful...

Trim tab location by
Jay
I've noticed that a lot of aircraft put trim tabs on the trailing
edges of the normal movable control surfaces. Wouldn't this just
deflect the control surface to neutralize the forces and not affect
much change except drag? It seems like you'd want to put the trim tab
on the fixed part of the...

Transponder antenna radiation by

My transponder installation instructions suggest to place the antenna
over 6 feet away from human body to keep the radiation away. I have a
composite fuselage and use an aluminum disc with the standard quarter
wave antenna. If I place the antenna and disc below me so the antenna
is on the side of...
