I have seen FG gas tanks. What and how are these made? Does one neeed to line the insides for it to be gas compatible? What about the fittings and the cap and vent set up? Does anyone have a pictured and or detailed build up? TIA

I can twist and turn various tubular parts on my restoration project and hear rust rolling down the tube. Assuming there is no serious corrosion, how is this treated? Does one make any attempt to remove rust from these sealed tubes or simply inject boiled linseed oil (etc.), slosh, drain? - Mike

I've been to the bd-micro web site. I'm not really that serious about starting on that sort of a project, but it sure looks like fun. Just wondering if there are any other kits out there which are mostly aluminum and perhaps a bit more forgiving in the air. Thanks, Mark

Is there any free aircraft plan to homebuilt? Thanks

The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still available. We were out of print soon after our October 2002 printing so it is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the original price, too. Military Aircraft designations catalogued from 1913 to...

I'm practicing making joints. I built a simple jig to hold two pieces of tubing parallel and about 6" apart and have notched and placed a third piece of tubing, connecting the two parallel pieces at 60* To minimize warpage from the heat (I'm using gas) I know I should tack one side of the joint,...

Does anyone know if the Starfighters F-104 airshow team is still flying? I heard Delashaw was killed in a Hawker Hunter, but am not sure if anyone else is flying the '104 in his place. It was neat to see that show, but it's obvious the plane is a poor airshow performer. They spent most of the time...
