I'm getting close to covering my wings. I don't currently fly at night and could even say that I have no intention on flying at night. However I had no intention on getting married either. Would anyone install lights anyway or just limit yourself to flying in the daylight. Lou

To All, Built this in my shop yesterday. http://www.roddingroundtable.com/tech/articles/12ewheel.html Total parts cost was right about $47.00 and total time to build was eight hours. I deviated a little from the plans because I didn't have some of the stuff laying around (the telescoping...

I am curious of opinions out there. I currently have a wet Vacuum pump on my Glasair I-RG. I am considering adding an M-20 vacuum pump oil seperator just for the vacuum pump since I also have a Christen inverted oil system seperator which takes care of the Crankcase breather. I am also considering...

Well, to be technical about it was a picture I cut out of a magazine and folded into a paper airplane. It flew rather nicelly. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Okay, you guys told me to post binaries to the alt.binary file. I did that. It's under Badwater Bill and it's titled Lark GLider. I can't find the shot I took when I was above the crap you see in the background. But here's the story: I got a clearance to go up into PC. That's what we called...

Wonder if some arrangement utilizing a manometer (sp? "u" shaped open...

I'll use Airtech, not Stits, now known as Polyfiber. The latter is a great process, don't get me wrong. It's just that Airtech is better, simpler, easier and produces superior results. *And* it lasts and lasts. Take a look at a 10- or 15-year-old Airtech cover and you'll see why. As for...

Folks, some help please. I am gearing up to make a fiberglass RC model of the long EZ or Berkut. Anyone out there have AutoCAD dwg or dxf files on that airframe? Please reply direct to
