anyone got one, or a manual? fellow radio fan has restored the ground control radio transmitter and the drones receiver curious about how receiver output was translated to control surfaces might be interesting to tote one around to flyins if we can find ALL the parts...

I saw an article that says to not let Alodine sit for more than four hours after application. One question is, does the group agree with that? Second, if you don't get primer painted by that time, do you try to wash it off, reapply, what? The proper application of alodine is after...

Jim Weir: I believe that you made reference to an exemption from personal property tax assessment on the basis of less than 5 aircraft of a specific model being made? Can you provide a reference to the tax code where that is defined? (I hope that this applies to California??) Stu Fields...

I read an article that said that you should paint a part before four hours (max) of applying Alodine. What do you do if you don't get it done in that time? Wash it off, sand it off, paint anyways? Thanks

Does anyone here know if Lloyds 1088 Marine grade Okoume plywood would be a good replacement for Aircraft grade African mahogany? The Okoume used water proof glue and is boiled in water for 3 hours just like Aircraft grade plywood. The price of mahogany appears to be going through the roof and...

Hi All! My Sonerai is currently equiped with dual ignition. I've got a slick magneto running off the flywheel end as well as a normal stock distributor (that has been shortened somewhat and fixed timing) in the normal distributor location. The thing I don't like is the magneto hanging halfway...

In the course of my scrounging, I often come across old fractional HP electric motors with capacitors that have leaked out or for some other reason are not working correctly. There is rarely any information on the nameplate as to the value of the capacitor, and any value stamped on the capacitor...

Is there a US supplier for the two-part adhesive system Aerolite? So far it only seems to be available in the UK, exported only in large quantities. Any place to get a small quantity (eqiv of a pint) to experiment with? Corrie

I am going to begin an aircraft project this winter and it looks like I have a LOT of welding ahead of me. I'm curious as to the different methods, ie brazing vs. arc, etc., and what the benefits or drawbacks of each method may be. Is one style better? Stronger? Easier? I will be working with...

I expect to get my PPL soon and serioulsy consider to build an airplane simply because it's cheaper. I naturally come here to sort for help from you, the veteran builders (both skills and age. I am in 20s and I read the average age of kit plane builders is over 50--this scares me.) Here are my...

Well... It's that time of the year again. It's time for my annual proficiency check. Last year I almost crashed. This year was no different. My helper pilot and I ran through the routines while a check-airman sat in the jumpseat observing us. We cured hot starts and hung starts. We didn't forget...
