That's pretty slick!
Just a tip for online searches, the Horten brothers were German and spelled their last name Horten, not Horton.
There are a number of books on the Horten brothers, but the one that really ventures into their quest for stability is "Only The Wing" by Russell E. Lee published in 2011 and has been out of print...
That's pretty slick, but lots of folks who learned to fly fifty years ago and listened to radio calls on the cabin speaker will tell you he should be wearing hearing protection.
Ron, I was working for a JPL contractor (Bendix Field Engineering) at the Goldstone DSIF Echo Station in the MDE (Mission Dependent Equipment) areas for both Lunar Orbiter (Boeing) and Surveyor...
The usual reason Cessna seat rails have to be replaced is that rail holes that the spring loaded seat adjustment rod lock into become elongated and worn beyond the specified maximum wear leading to...

I may still have my PL-2 plans, but after several moves I'll have to look for them. If I still have them, they're in a box in my garage that's got a bunch of unpacked boxes. Give me a day or two to...

An alternative may be the recently announced Agility Prime competition sponsored by the United States Air Force.

I'd venture a guess that there are dozens of 501(c)(3) aviation museums that would love to have it as a donation, and you might be able to claim it as a tax deduction.
I think I'd make an exception to my not looking up at jets if I heard these guys flying overhead. It's an awesome testament to inter-service cooperation. This was a couple of days ago over NYC when...

The "PC-12" pictured in the article has the tail number N702QD which is not assigned according to the FAA registry. The registry says N702QD used to be assigned to a Socata TBM 700, but it was...
I only look up if it sounds like a piston engine. Jets and turboprops, meh.
Chapter 124, Santa Rosa CA, cancelled the April dinner meeting. Nothing on the website about the May meeting. I plan to stay away from group get-togethers where I'm unable to maintain at least 6 ft...
I still wear my 55 year-old MA-1 occasionally when there's a chill in the air. It still bears my old squadron patch, but nothing else.

Looking at the airnav page for 1L8, a couple of things stand out.
The notes say "RY 01/19 - PILOTS AT END OF RY CANNOT SEE ACFT AT OTHER END." and "TO PRVD PATTERN SEPARATION FROM GRASSY MEADOWS...
Ron, I think you mean a full wavelength at 1030 MHz is about 0.29 meters, so a quarter wavelength counterpoise would be 0.0725 meters, or 2.8543307 (~3) inches.
Thanks for the link, I just signed up.
Did you ever hear back from the guy who was advertising the retractable gear PL-2 on airplanemart?
This is a fairly comprehensive flight test article on the PL-2 published in the February, 2003...
Very old post? January 17, 2020 was a week ago. :confused:

Thanks, Thomas; it's powered by a Continental O-200-A. Forty years ago I owned a C-150 with an O-200, and then an O-300 powered C-172, and am partial to these small displacement Continentals.
