machine, it's the cutting tool that rotates against the work.) The

"Bat" type wing tips ? by
R&R Sherwood
Several years ago bat type wing tips became popular with the racing group.
Does anyone have actual experience with the bat tip? Do they truly reduce
drag? Are there coordinates and dimensions available for them?

Its name is "Culex", it is a all-wooden, fixed gear, tandem seat light twin

"hinge stock"? by
Michael Horowitz
reading thru EAA's "Aircraft Welding" I see mention of 'hinge stock',
a tube which probably takes a bushing and is part of the
elevator/stab. assy.
I didn't see a mention in Spruce; is it just tougher steel than 4130
or is it tubing with a pre-drilled bushing? - Mike

I just got this off MSNBC:

They mention flying cars and Moller, but not with the usual gullible
reporter approach, although they do not really delve into the reasons
that it is a fizzle.
