It's Idaho's highest peak FWIW. And, where I watched the recent full eclipse a few years ago. The normally empty adjacent area was full of other...

Found this product, decent reviews and relatively inexpensive. Ill share thoughts on it after I try it out. That's what I used my last...

I'm not sure which Viair model you are referring too, but their smallest model, the 70P, appears to be very similar to the one I got. Same exact CFM...

Got one of these a couple days ago, and am impressed with it's quality. It will be my plane's air source, onboard at all times. It doesn't sound...

A great flying day forced me to halt the tail ski project for a couple days! It was a quick and easy 2 minute job to take the wintertime small TW,...

I can't think of a way to tie it in with WW props, so yeah, wrong thread!

No way, the SS wouldn't allow it, period. If he persisted, they'd back off, but also withdraw ALL protection, that's their leverage. I flew over the...

Live off grid for a few decades, like I did, to really get a full appreciation of the energy density of a gallon of gas. Now grid tied, and going...

A barn door could be made to fly with current tech right now, doesn't mean squat for real world practicality. Wind turbines to recharge the battery...

Don't hold your breath. A barn door could be made to fly with e power, doesn't mean it's practical. Local, maybe training, makes sense. Bush...

Yeah the actual number doesn't matter, except for sharing the info with others. Ground adjustable props are old news to us LSA types, the norm,...

I have joined the "the tail ski has to be able to move" crowd. Even though my 360 hrs of fixed tail ski time, all mountain flying with all kinds of...

I have patched many holes in the belly and the bottom and top of my horizontal stabilizer (rocks, one clear through) on my Poly-Tone covered plane...

Looks like you have a stop, a thru bolt, that comes up against the fork to keep the springs from bringing the tip up too high? Simple enough, now you...

But, would you use Oratex if appearance was not a deciding factor? That is the question, from a guy satisfied with a mat Poly-Tone finish. I'm more...

Sourcing a Burl's type piston spring may be beyond the capability of my junk drawer, and since my tail is so light (50/60 pounds,) I thought I'd give...

The J-3 tail spring is gone!

I am re-doing my Datum tail ski rigging, after getting a T-3 spring. I did a quick search here hoping to see some examples as to how a tail ski is...

I'm very familiar with working with the Poly Fiber system in a "cool" shop or hangar. Not so much the fabric work, I am able to get my shop nice and...

This is the stuff I use. The industrial plants around here use it for no slip walkways, and for whatever reason a lot of it ends up at my local...

Pacific Scrap Metal in our area Robert, often has various pieces and types of expanded metal, cheap, and when you're done using them to paint on they...

One of the claimed reasons a friend sold his, was because his wife absolutely could not stay awake in it! The same plane had about $8,000.00 worth of...

FWIW: My cub style gear and Rans S-7S combo uses AN-5 bolts on the gear legs. 1320 pounds gross. Can't bend or break them, tried!

Soft Scrub, a bathroom cleaning product most stores sell, works on my Poly-Tone pretty well. Sometime I use one of the commonly available citrus...

Having flown MIG welded airframes for the last 32 years, I still totally agree with CharlieN. The best I can come up with, is that MIG welding an...

In my '88 12 valve 1 ton dualie, I put in a new steering box, and new stabilizer, and had the front end checked after I experienced the death wobble...

And... I just searched Amazon Prime, and damn it I could download it to my Kindle, with the original cover, which my cop lacks, no less, and I...

Can you use your Kindle to start a fire, like book pages? That's what sectionals are for. And for shading the windshield when tied down. ...
