Need advice on which flight mapping system to purchase please. Apple products seem difficult to see in direct sunlight (open cockpit) and most systems offer a lot more than I think I need. Just...

Only 132 of the Fly Baby? Surprising.
What are the chances the final inspector for my project will reject my upholstery material because it has no FAA paperwork. Heard a rumor that someone paid a shop to install an interior and ran into...
Thank you very much! Hadn't thought of asking a boat builder. And, after visiting that site, am impressed with how thorough they are. Much more complex than just which chemistry works with which.
Someone told me that I can laminate epoxy over polyester but not the reverse. Repairing a polyester nose bowl but need it to be stronger that the original so I was going to laminate glass cloth with...
Thanks Don! Do you remember if those are Piper cowling latches?

Grove says they will bend aluminum gear to whatever size and "gun barrel" drill the legs to eliminate a brake line. Anyone had experience with them?7754

REALLY appreciate your opinion! Hardly a surprise I'm getting all kinds of advice from you-can-design-an-airplane books and the local hangar visiters. My aviation pals are still building and we'll...

So here's a thought: the wing outboard of the strut attachments seems vulnerable to twisting, especially since Raymer recommends I enlarge the ailerons slightly. Anyone know where advice about the...
Thank you very much Don. If you promise not to make fun of them, I'll send some pictures when starts to look more like an airplane. Three degrees it is!

Building a Stits Playboy over a number of years. Relocations and kids made some of the materials disappear unfortunately. So, am getting to the wing attach fittings and remember someone saying that...
Self-etching primer over the polished surface maybe? I had a polish that left a silicone coating behind so that might be an issue.
Almost flying season in Ohio so I have to get fixed!!! Have a picture maybe? Be glad to buy, rent whatever. And who rebuilds our tanks? Thanks, P.3763
Site recommended Mike's "A" Ford-Able Parts as a place to look for tools etc.. Great suggestion! I purchased a new used gauge on eBay and maybe the tools from Mike's. I,m afraid the former owner...
Have a Vagabond with a seep around the fuel gauge. Tried to make a tool to remove the gauge but the effort was not successful. Someone said that it is a Ford Model A gauge but it looks different in...
Access is a good possibility, to bad we can't call Ray Stits. I thought also that the aft position would make the rear strut a bit shorter and therefore stronger. Too, maybe, having the stress spread...
BTW, about half the pictures I see locate the fuselage end of the wing struts at the front of the cockpit. Another group of Playboys use two attach points at the fore and aft. Any particular reasons...
I know one of the issues builders were supposed to pay special attention to was the angle of incidence affected by rear spar attachments. What I decided to do is buried somewhere in the chaos of my...
Been years but I wrote to the EAA library about the Playboy and they had some helpful information. My plans were (are) early ones and there have apparently been some improvements/changes to the...

And then just one more. Have to imagine it bright red.....

Just thought you might be interested in these images. I have a SA-3A on the gear with a C-85 but, frankly, it has been stalled for several years. Have all the parts, just...
