Weight saving exercise. by
Fortunat1
I have to begin making a few decisions on how to drop a few pounds (off my
butt and my airplane!)
For one, I'm considering making the composite tank as outlined in Tony
Bengelis' book. This would be the foam/glass sandwich he describes. Questin
is, is it lighter than the aluminum tank specified in...

Non certified engines. by
Stuart Grey
Okay, I don't know diddly; I've just caught the airplane bug. So, I'm
asking...
My buddy went out and spent multi tens of thousands of dollars on an
airplane engine. Lycoming, I think it was. Seems kinda pricy, but I
understand that most of that cost is testing, no iron.
I note that there was a...

SAA vs. EAA by
Smitty
Just curious as to impressions of the SAA. I recently recieved a
letter from the EAA soliciting donations signed by Rutan and Melville
with a postcard of SS1. While I don't mean to belittle the
achievements of either of these 2 gentlemen, I do find it disturbing
that the EAA has chosen to solicit...

Water in our oil, or just alot of hot air? by
[email protected]
I just watched a program about the huge Oresund bridge between Denmark
and Sweden, and there was a segment about how the corrosion problem for
the bridge was dealt with. Instead of painting, they use sealed
compartments that have the air humidity kept below 60%. This they said
eliminates...

Arlington lays some eggs by
Ken Finney
This will be a negative post, but hopefully, constructive criticism. I've
been to Oshkosh once, lots of small fly-ins, and every year for the past
eight years to the Arlington Fly-In (www.nweaa.org). Oshkosh is SO big, it
is difficult to take away a lot of lessons that are applicable to...

Engine configuration by
Michael Henry
Greetings!
My last post provoked a long and interesting series of threads so I am
emboldened to make another post.
This question concerns the configuration or layout of an engine. I have
noticed that air-cooled engines tend to have an opposed configuration
whereas liquid-cooled engines tend to...

How to Remove Piston from Cylinder by
Paul Dow (Remove Caps in mail address)
A member of our EAA chapter has a cylinder from a Franklin 150 engine
(off the engine.) The piston was pushed too far up and the top ring
sprung out so it now overlaps the cylinder sleeve which locks the piston
in place.
Does anyone have a technique to get the piston out? Preferably while...

Off topic, Gore and the internet (don't read if not interested) by
Corky Scott
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...

Cozy, Long ezy, and diesel engine. by
LCT Paintball
Please excuse my ignorance, but I've been reading a lot of hoopla over 2
stroke diesel aircraft engines. Has anybody tried one of these in a Cozy or
Long Ezy? It sounds to me like that may make for a very fuel efficient
aircraft with good performance. Any reason why it can't be done?

Tiny vacuum pump by
Jim Weir
Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order
of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably
110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary.
The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...
