Wishing Harrison a speedy recovery - Get well soon!
Whats to stop you kidnapping the drone when it delivers your merchandise? forget the book, I'm going for the drone!
(Transpacific is probably out of its range though!)
One odd thing I chuckled about was the airshow flightline volunteer who came down to ensure that not so much as a shoelace went past the flightline marker, (fair enough) but then stood 20ft or so in...

Thanks for the positive follow up guys, I'm glad that sharing my experience will help others in the future. Although disappointed with the camping, overall I have enjoyed myself- its a great event. ...
Thanks for your feedback everyone. I went to the international tent yesterday, took part in the parade and went to the international visitors dinner (although it was quite a walk!) certainly the Int...
I find the selection on the show site to be adequate but There isn't anywhere to find a proper evening meal in camp Scholler. Pizza and snack stuff is ok to keep you going during the day, but not a...
I've finally made the visit across half a world to attend Oshkosh. Loving the show and the selection of aircraft to admire. I am however totally hating camp Scholler and finding my time is a misery....
Back when I was doing my aprenticeship as an aircraft tradesman, I was taught the way to push down the tail of a Cessna or Piper was to push on a rear fuselage frame. On a cessna it is the one at the...
I'm using the "Appstrap" for iPad Mini and I think its awesome! This is a kneepad mount incorporating a rugged back shell for the ipad. The strap has a cool little wedge thingie that props the ipad...
I'm not fussed what aircraft is in the sweepstakes - I'd just like overseas members such as myself to have a fair chance to win it as well. I find it very annoying that overseas members aren't...
Pilatus Britten Norman BN2 Islander - good vis, plenty of cubic space inside and awesome short strip performance. very rugged and easy to maintain machine. Not the prettiest machine around, but we've...
Well then, 'We' as EAA better get on with it then!... Do we have anyone to volunteer to drive the project?
If the man is what he says he is, get him to Oshkosh! The man has passion and vision, and would probably love to have some mentoring to actually get his dream into reality. (and hopefully gain some...
I have been talking to my travel agent and running a few options and it looks like Appleton will be the way to go - the way it works, I can get in to Oshkosh a day earlier than planned, which is...
Hi everyone,
As I've mentioned in previous posts I am planning on making the trip from New Zealand to Oshkosh in 2013. I was fortunate that through the EAA rideshare board I was offered I ride from...
Been there, done that.. the joys of a taildragger. Definitely a good feeling though when you nail a decent wheeler though!
Ever thought of using push - pull cables (e.g Morse / Teleflex / Cablecraft)?. They are very unlikely to break - especially for something only used a few cycles per flight and they are double acting....
Well, some of it could go by shipping container - but not the 54ft one-piece wing! Its going to take some serious thinking to work out transport arrangements. I reckon they should just leave it here!...
Here are some pics of my engine build to help with ideas. Be aware that the EJ series (I dont think the EJ20 was ever in a US Subaru, but the EJ22 was) is 2 generations newer than the EA81. Its an...
I've got 50hrs on my EJ, but the guy who built my PRU has built several hundred EJ engines for Gyrocopters, most running on Avgas. They have collectively accumulated many thousands of hours with no...
Subs run really nice on Avgas - I run the EJ20 in my Adventurer on it. The only proviso as mentioned earlier is around Oxygen sensors. Mine doesn't have one and it runs really sweet. There is no way...
I was very pleased to be able to see this aircraft fly several times at an Air show at Ardmore over the weekend. You have to look out for this machine when it heads back to the States - it is really...
Lots of comment and photos on this link:
