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...

If you can find any of the original Experimenter magazines (quarterly, IIRC), before it morphed into Sport Aviation, you will find lots of articles about homebuilders as well as some “how...
Remove the general public from the flight line.

Do not have the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels.

Please post the CAF response.

What rule, policy or procedure did the EAA change from 2017 to 2021 that kept either airplane from AirVenture 2021?
BJC
It would be nice if the helicopters selling rides would revise their routes away from the Forum area, so presenters can be heard.

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...
Bill, can you provide a citation for that?
I haven’t seen that, and this is the first that I have heard of it.
Thanks,

Ron:
Do you have any data that indicates the aerobatic time / experience of the pilots, as opposed to the total time?
BJC
Looks great.
Have you posted recently on HBA?

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...
