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 ...

Hello, * *I need overhaul manual and Ilustrated Parts Catalogue and any other useful book. Where may I find these documents? I will prefer electronic version (pdf?) Same core than new Continental IO240 or a lot of differents things.

Everything was trimmed!! (-; Counterpoint to the Lightspeed QA 'issue': I have a 20XL and a 30XL. Both have performed flawlessly from the day I got them. Maybe I'm just lucky, but that never happens! To be fair, I don't listen to music in the air so I am unqualified to comment on the audio...

I applied the first coat of Poly-Brush on a little more than half of my fuselage (experimental homebuilt) before I realized I had not stirred the can of Poly-Brush before using. Once the contents from the bottom were stirred up the coating was definitely a darker shade of pink. Is this going to...

A friend from Texas who worked for the railroad and liked to fly his supercub along the tracks decided to have a little fun one night. He flew just off the ground down the tracks and just before he got in sight of a freight train roaring down the tracks, he turned on his landing light...

I have heard folks talk about a Maule fabric tester, but I have never seen one in action. Apparently it puts a set amount of pressure against fabric and if the rod goes thru, then the fabric fails. Can someone please describe the action - especially, how does the device keep the fabric from being...

To be merciful, I've changed the subject heading so that those who don't care to read any more about this subject can simply delete it or skip over without opening it. I figured that there had to be more to Gore's one liner. Politicians don't normally feed ammunition to the opposition so I looked...

Ok, I ran into a little problem... I'm laying out the rib design for a 1931 Georgias Special and it uses a Clark Y-15 airfoil. The coordinates (stations if you will) for upper and lower surfaces start at the leading edge and go back to the rear edge. Chord is supposed to be 48". Adding up...

I recently acquired a couple of Peltor 8003 headsets secondhand. They have two stereo jacks. These are molded on so I cannot open them up to see what happens inside. I took the quarter-inch to be stereo, but no: I measured some 290 ohms from tip to ground, and nothing between ring and ground....

I'm looking for a source of some .063" thick 4130N sheets (5), in UPSable sizes. Wicks and AS+S have been out for a while and even Dillsburg hasn't got any and "might have some 4130-A in a month or so". Seems there is no more 4130N sheet being made and hasn't been for a year. If I can't find...
