The finale of the Wednesday night airshow was really good.

I did. It showed a photo of an ancient Trade-A-Plane.

Another method is to spread the drawings smoothly over a piece of poster board, then use a pin to prick through the drawing into the poster board. Do it in enough places to be able to connect the...

Yup, the smoke got them.

Level the table with shims, then use the cheapest auto body filler that you can find to bond it to the floor.

The battery is the thing that everyone designing an electric aircraft needs help with. Currently available batteries just don’t have the energy density that most designs need. VTOL applications, even...

I'm not certain that my comment was clear. I wasn't referring to the magazine that was published in addition to Sport Aviation. What is now Sport Aviation was originally titled The...

Shorten the airshow.
Do not have the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels.
Eliminate the non-aviation vendors.

Please post the CAF response.


BJC

BJC

Thanks, guys. I was there Monday through Saturday, and have the same observation about masks, social distancing, use of hand sanitizers, etc. FWIW, I haven’t found much credibility in anything that...

I haven’t seen that, and this is the first that I have heard of it.

Thanks,

Ron:

BJC

I tried for a ferry permit before Phase 1 was completed, and was told “We don’t [or it could have been can’t] do that.

It makes sense not to allow it in most cases. An amended test area could...
