Hello everyone - my first posting here. I'm in the process of equipping my Earthstar thundergull with avionics. This is a very light tandem 2 seater. I was wondering what type of navcom to go with...handheld or panel mounted. Panel space is limited , so a panel radio choice would probably be...

Does the emagazine AVWEB still exist? I have not received a copy since September. I re-subscribed on their web site, but still no joy. I suspect that my ISP spam filter is taking them out, but I need to know that they are still working before I yell at the ISP. Thanks Zenith CH-300 Driver.

In order to be a flight instructor you need 5,000 feet hangar space, 1,500 feet office space, plus two airplanes, one of which must be IFR certified. This is the official rule, in writing and enforced by the airport authority. What this effectively does is exclude any competition for the one...

'been scratchin' some paper. It looks like a 2.6L flat opposed 8-cylinder could be made will not too much difficulty from two Suzuki Hyabusa motorcycle cylinder blocks. The electronic fuel injected 'busa puts out about 130HP so two theoretically could make 260HP. With 8 cylinders, the power...

I've been using the free AVG anti-virus program for probably a couple years now. It runs automatically at a time you set and upgrades are frequent and free. It has caught several viruses. I installed it on a friend's computer who had Norton running. After I installed it from AVG's website, it...

I am working with plans circa 1963 that call out 7075 T6 1" angle. Anyone know if it's still manufactured? Don't see it in ACS or Wicks. Thanks, Clark

Folks - I know that if I get someone to sit inside and hold the flat Tinnerman fastener, I can screw in a machine screw from beneath the a/c. This is not the type of fasterner that clips on to the edge of the metal. For one person trying to either install or remove a screw from the afore mentioned...

This may very well be the best thought out item we have read since 9/11/01. Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan ... what we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan...

I have recently acquired a Sea Rey equipped with the Rotax 912S engine. While familiarizing myself with the carburetor synchronization procedure, I noticed that the springs that open the throttle in the event of a throttle cable disconnect appear to be backwards. The documentation indicates that...

I want to mark sheetmetal for bending. Can't use a scribe because I'll weaken the metal. Magic Marker is too thick. Pencil doesn't show. What do you use? - Mike

Folks - I applied some aluminium-pigmented dope to some fabric. Tried cleaning up with Mineral Spirits. Not satisfactory. Cleaned up with butyrate thinner. Don't wanna use MEK (sorta scared of it) Anything else make a go cleaner-upper? Looking for something more available than the butyrate...

Hey, fellers... I was always taught that if a subject started in the newsgroups, it STAYED in the newsgroups. Lately it seems more and more that in answer to some aviation thread in these groups, I'm getting an email request for more information. Please, if it starts in these groups, let's KEEP...
