Ron, you're in and around the publishing business, at least from a writer's perspective. Any sense of the real costs of electronic publishing? Based on what you've said in the past, article writers...

Yeah, I received (and may still have) years of The Experimenter in hard copy. I just miss the content. Between the seeming shift in focus of SA and the <effective> drop of The Experimenter, EAA is...
Here's a link to the last year of the Experimenter as a stand alone e-publication:
...
With today's "renew your membership before rates go up" e-mail*, I went down the wormhole of the EAA's website and started reading back issues of various publications.
I read through several...
Betting game, IIRC.
Yeah, B-36 J(111) featherweight is the only way to go.
Wait a minute. Do you know someone restoring a B-36A?
Um, you gonna tell us what you're building?
No experience with that.
I've used a router and jig for big holes. If you're making numerous holes of the same size, you can get really good results that way. But a jigsaw seems like an easy way...
Can't speak to Klein. What holes are you cutting? I have a bunch of forstner bits that did a good job on a set of Champ spars. You're welcome to use 'em.
A good (at least different) deal is the cafe at the Sleepy Hollow. They have these people called waiters who come and take your order, then, as if by magic, food and beer appear a few minutes later. ...
The one that comes as a surprise is Velocity. The baseline number of airplanes is relatively small, the factory is still in operation, yet the number of registered aircraft ain't moving.
I've built a fair number of wood ribs and just dunk the capstrips in water for an hour or three prior to bending them. I use a bending tool to squish the capstrips into shape and let them dry before...
Nobody wants to see either of you in your Speedo's anyway. ;-)
Thanks for your input.
No.
I think it is funny when airplane people complain about helicopter noise, then get up in arms when residents complain about airport noise.
The only flying machines that ever bothered me with noise...
These are the two big ones for me.
But I'd push back on eliminating the non-aviation vendors. How else am I gonna get 5 minutes in a massage chair or an extended foot massage if we disallow...
Absolutely true. I've never seen a political discussion on the internet finish in a civil place. Those discussions simply don't belong on an aviation board, because they will not advance aviation,...
My Champ's 5 gallon wing tank installation has Z shaped brackets over the front and aft spars. The top leg of the Z catches the spar and the bottom leg catches the tank. So the tank is suspended from...
A bunch of Aeroncas have metal tanks in the wings. Go to this page, look on the left hand side for drawings, click the link and you'll get a search window. Enter relevant terms and you'll get links...
The new voice of the proletariat!
I think the intent was to "send a message to politicians".
I do not think abandoning 10's of millions of dollars of infrastructure at OSH, relocating EAA, and throwing away a 50 year tradition is...
Yeah, I got that message a few days ago. Kind of sad the FAA "loses" a resource and can't tell you when it will be restored.
Is there any way to notify the FAA of this issue? I'd really like to validate the calibration of my new ADSB installation.
The FAA's PAPR link is down. That's the link which allows you to check your ADSB performance. It has been down since Tuesday, when I finished the installation of a new ADSB system.
Here's a...
