Anyone know about a seminar at SNF discussing flight instruments made cheaply?? A while ago, I remember someone describing an attitude gage consisting of a tube loop (the loop was orientated fore and aft) filled with a liquid. Wonder if some arrangement utilizing a manometer (sp? "u" shaped open...

I originally posted this in the metal working newsgroup, some folks there thought the part might be recobnized by somone here - so, it's worth a try - any clues? thanks: I think this is probably quite old, but so far I have no idea what it is (or was part of) - there is another like it that...

Looks like they've lost another BD5J. Scott Manning crashed a couple of weeks ago in Canada. --------------- http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/14272510p-15082837c.html Charles "Chuck" Lischer had spent more than 30 years in the air, slicing through the skies in everything from air...

I'm looking for some guidance on safely mounting instruments in an alumimium panel. Our panel is about 2mm (about 1/12th inch) thick. We had all the shapes laser cut, so everything fits well. What do most of you do with deep, heavy instruments like a gyro? Is it safe to just use the screws on the...

While it was a busy day on the airways (radio wise) I got the same result calling up ATC 15 miles out; 'scratchy but readable'. Tried reaching around back of the seat to key the rear PTT but it was too painful wating for the frequency to open up. I did try calling another aircraft at an airport 55...

I am presently in the process of converting a PA-22 to a Sportsman 2+2. Plans call for new wings to be buillt from scratch and I am considering the use of Fowler flaps rather than conventional for greater lift, reduced stall speed, steeper landing approach and better angle of attack/ visibility...

Can anyone tell me a little about a Cloud Height Projector made by "General Instrument Corporation, Brooklyn,NY". It says it is a ML-506A GMQ-13. I bought one on eBay that the person thought was Hollywood searchlight, but under closer inspection I found out what it really was. The unit is...

After Bob Hoover's recommendation of the double eagle, I fond myself at the DE website and thinking I've found my first (maybe only) plane. I already have a stock 1600cc bug engine to use that is ready to put together other than a few bits but I'd like to try Bob's suggestions and go with the...

The Franklin engine I rebuilt came with an odd ball cast aluminum oil pan with a big shaft access hole in back. May have been a helicopter engine oil pan. I put a disc there and welded it shut (from outside). But the weld is dripping some oil especially when hot. I am planing to take out the oil...

Well, I just got the news today, that I will have to undergo back fusion surgery, and will not be able to go to OSH this year. It breaks my heart, but I am looking forward to some relief of my pain. Drink one for me, gang! -- Jim in NC
