Ron, from what source are you getting your info on Experimentals? An awful lot of them are registered under the builder's name, with no reference to the provider of the design/plans/kit.
I love this bloke! Not often do you find a mechanic that uses the phrase "ontology and epistemic objectivity" in his explanations. Of course, the whole issue can be avoided if you are willing to go...
O.M.G. So Zoom is still around and spraying his vitriolic blather at every aviation "inequity"? He is a perpetual child, screaming "THAT NOT FAIR!" at anything that doesn't work the way he thinks...
At least we weren't subjected to the 6am departures of the AeroShell T-6 team, proptips supersonic, every morning this year. OTOH, it was extremely annoying that he airshow military jets seemed to...
If you don't already have a device with an ego problem (i-this, i-that, ...) check out Avare. It's Free Open-Source Software, written and supported by pilots. There's a huge online community of...
The trams have colored flags to indicate their route. Will yours have a milk-of-magnesia-colored flag?
:rollseyes:
Very true. I had really hoped he would outlast Zoom ...
'Way back before the turn of the century, I set up a Mailman list-server for our chapter. The advantages were that is was free, lightweight, easy to use, and easy to manage. It was email-driven but...
I just received an email from Dassault Systemes with 'Subject: Feedback on cloud-based engineering software survey'. It took five minutes to fill out the Survey Monkey questionnaire with the reasons...
Yes, Garmin will fix everything wrong with your unit for a flat rate, but will no longer work on the non-WAAS version at all. That flat rate varies from $1500-2500 depending on your unit's part...
Does anyone know the current state of Garmin service on its GNS430W panel-mount? At one point it was around a grand to have your avioniker send it back to the factory for a complete O/H. Then I...
I don't understand. I stagger out of the tent at 6am looking for a greybox and coffee, and return sometime before midnight. My problem is falling asleep fully clothed. You guys must not be doing...
At the Vintage town hall meeting I asked the president of Vintage if there had been any consultation between Trams and Vintage. Her reply was a succinct, "NO".
Given the number of attendees and...
A surprising number of Cubs, Champs, and other low-n-slow aircraft end up parking in Vintage, so it can be done. But as one who has had to go flaps-30 and hang it on the prop behind an aircraft...
An awful lot of those engines ended up powering pumps and gen-sets, only to be replaced by small turbines.
All good suggestions, but I'd perform a Kobayashi Maru on the problem, myself.
There are several factors that make this year's Fisk arrival more challenging than normal: heavier than normal...
I've been saying for quite some time that I don't expect there to be an Airventure 2021. There are too many pre-req's that might be met if all the stars line up, but Vegas thrives on such sucker...
... which is why I'm cautiously pessimistic. I'd love to be proven wrong, but too many years trying to estimate if I can make a specific ship-date has taught me that this one is too tight.
There is no "51% rule" per se. There is the requirement that the majority of the construction be "amateur-built". My DAR explained it this way: the "majority amateur-built" criteria applies...
We had our chapter website hosted on an inexpensive "shared server" provider. Among the server's many free software packages is Mailman, which we use to provide a variety of discussion and...
Your question deserves its own FAQ on these Forums Bob, and the answers are as diverse as the folks attending. However, it's like asking "What kind of aircraft should I buy?" All it does is...
Better add "DOES" to the second sentence, first.
The solution, which you won't like, is obvious to me.
Because he's on the field, you need to be on good terms with your mechanic. You need him to be glad to see you. Over the years I've rarely...
[QUOTE=Ihor Nastashchuk;68841]We are building a manned copter with a gasoline engine and propellers with variable pitch.
A couple of questions:
