Senate Bill S.786 could kill NWS internet weather products by
FlyBoy
As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital
Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic
presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786
(see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of
private sector...

flybynightkarmarepair
Does anyone have in their shop, or have complete access to, a sheet
metal brake, either a leaf/box brake or a press brake, at least 4 feet

Fuel System Musings, comments encouraged by
flybynightkarmarepair
My blog has become a way for me to think out loud about my project.
Putting things down in a narrative helps me crystallize my thoughts,
and give me something to refer back to when the time comes to move
from thinking to doing.
Anyway, I've been THINKING about my fuel system, and have put down...

CHT probes by
flybynightkarmarepair
How deep is the hole a "bayonet" type CHT probe fits into?
I don't like the spark plug senders, and want to drill the cast-in
boss for a CHT sender to suit the probes commonly available, but
without a probe in hand, I can't tell whether this is possible.
Anybody who can answer this question...

Injector carbs and inductions system icing by
flybynightkarmarepair
SOME promoters of injector carbs (POSA, Lake, Revmaster, AeroCarb and
Ellison fall into this category) claim that carb heat is un-necessary.
I have always felt, based on my analysis of the physics involved, that

carb heat with...

current INTO the battery. That might seem all right but when I start
