Skipping commentary on their home page(!), the above web story seems to end about 1/2000, before flight testing. Though someone more qualified re taildraggers than I should comment, seems to me not m
I don't think they're trying to mask comparisons, as differeing lamp specs are based on intended application. "Candlepower" is best for spotlights or where you're looking at the lamp, and LED's are r
me < Note wide? A 7-foot bench is sufficient for the flaps and tailplane alignment, else not mandatory, and 2.5 feet wide is OK. But for those steps, I butted together two smaller benches, unhinged
Unless you have some regulatory need for this time (in the U.S. Hobbs time is meaningless for any FAA purpose) consider just wiring the Hobbs to the master. Saves cost, weight, and inserting things
A handy chart I have rates metals from anodic (top) to cathodic (bottom) as follows: Magnesium Zinc Aluminum alloys Cadmium Steel Lead Chromium Brass/bronze Copper Stainless steel Silver Nickel Graph
Fuel is nonconductive, so I can't see what it has to do with static. But the mesh can aerate the fuel which then creates static inside the tank. An FAA directive on fuel systems discusses aeration a
However, the TCU is a sealed metal box -- not enough oxygen inside to sustain combustion. Even if it weren't metal, in the event of a fault, the 5A fuse should pop before enough heat is generated to
Why do you really need to know accurate Hobbs time? As an amateur-built aircraft in the U.S., you're not bound in the slightest degree by any run time of any component anywhere. Admittedly, were you

Limit of performance at 15 miles is equivalent to, if all other variables ideal, either you or ATC transmitting about 50 milliwatts! Verses 7-8 watts on your end, or up to 50 watts per FCC rules on A
I can't agree that an "N" connector verses BNC will add anything at VHF, Jim, though it would be better where it's subject to environmental contamination. I've seen specs on factory male-female BNC c
Oops...I meant 20" radius, not diameter. Half-correct, unless grading "on the curve" -- score zero. :-) And come to think, while in digital logic my above "or" statement is true, it's nonsense if not
What are the anecdotal reports on using engine coolant for cabin heat? I recall --From long ago on many cars that the system worked awful, with a piece of cardboard covering the radiator a partial f
As long as you don't even sratch the soft aluminum wheel! Potential failure can cause a serious accident. The typical A&P mechanic here doesen't even own such a tool... Best, Fred F.
I'll try 'n field this one. First, "PMA" is not "approved" as contemplated in the Part 91 rule that nav and anti-collision must be approved. It's only authorization to hit the green start button on a
He should be referring to no more than the gamble that mixing products may give you long-term adhesion or gloss problems and is what paint mfr's always say. Though one famous mfr says if you're gonn
Yes. It's heavier than SuperFil, slower cure, relative harder to sand, and doesn't work as easily (on the gooey side). Outstanding qualities. Best is the way a coat a few mils in thickness will stil
If the "C" line is never to be severed, it makes no sense to bring it out external to the regulator unless it has a useful purpose. The EXP-bus people have no problem with severing the "C" line, as t
Tony, I doubt you'll find even vivid yellow will result in high temps, so I don't understand the need to take it with you. If there's dew on the covers, you don't really want to then stuff it in the
