Marine Radar in a plane? by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday, as we were once again flying blindly toward unknown weather, Mary
and I lamented the fact that we'll never have radar on board our Pathfinder.
Too expensive to contemplate. Ditto with the "live uplink" stuff that's
just coming on the market.
So, I thought, why not adapt a marine radar...

Liar Liar Pants On Fire Dept: Moller by
Bret Ludwig
From his website:
"Moller International has developed the first and only feasible,
personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)
vehicle the world has ever seen."
This is a lie, pure and simple.

Z's network? by
TSS7
Is it the general consensus that Zoom's Aero News Network is not
completely trustworthy? It would seem he is just re-posting news he
gets from some source. But I wonder if he doesn't "doctor up" the
articles himself. If he's doing that, then they should throw him off
the internet. I wonder if there...

Sorry, Spruce and Jim Irwin by
Larry Smith
Jim, you and your company were quite courteous on a prop bolt exchange, so I
was gonna order some more mdse. And still hope to, even after this. This
morning I tried to order a Concorde battery for a friend's 172, and the
snappy lady in Griffin rejected the card, for curious reasons.

Newbie Question, really: That first flight by
Cecil Chapman
A question I've always wanted to ask homebuilders is based on how I can see
one could go through the process of building through lots of hard work and
dedication - but how do you get yourself to do that first flight? I would
think a thousand questions would fill one's mind (ex: did I tighten...

Jabiru V Rotax reliability? by
Joe
Looking to buy either a Jabiru or Rotax 4 stroke engine.
RELIABILITY is the most important factor.
Seems like the Jabiru should be better with lower RPM but believe that Rotax
have more engines in service and therefore more development time and hence
reliability.
Any comments welcomed.

Lycoming 320 and EAA Light Sport Aircraft ? by
Dave Jackson
The use of the Lycoming 320 engine is at or above the top end of the
proposed EAA Light Sport Aircraft category (1,232 lbs max. GW). I assume
that the EAA SportPilot/Light Sport Aircraft will be successful, and that it
will cause a decrease in the production of slightly heavier aircraft.

MoGas Long Term Test: 5000 gallons and counting... by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas
through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills
(our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of
flight time over the last 2.5 years.

Canard planes swept wing outer VG's? by
Paul Lee
I have the copy of the CAFE test of Cozy Mk IV canard where it states
that swept wings tend to start stalling at the tip rather than the root.
This moves the center of lift forward and is a bigger problem for aft
CG.
While canard planes swept wings typically already have those
"vortilon" tabs, has...

Amphib: Coot vs Osprey II by

I'm interested in a plans-built amphib, and the Coot and Osprey II have

On a related issue, I have been underwhelmed by the useful loads of both

Question by
Charles S
I apologize for posting this 'non-home built' question here.
But I believe here is where I am most likely to discover the answer.
My question involves how the Germans in WWII fired cannon through the
propeller hub of V-12 engines.
I cannot see how this is accomplished, since to my knowledge there...
