    Turbo-normaliser question

    I've wanted to do a remote turbo set-up for awhile! Did you use oil-less or oil or liquid cooled turbo?

    Formula-I?

    Honestly, this whole thing needs to NOT have any interference from the FAA. Requiring Commercial Pilot rating = DOA (Dead On Arrival). Start with ultra-lights (Teman Monofly...?) Hear me out: It NEEDS "grass-roots" growth like what has happened with Drifting around the world. The HUGE success...

    DA11?

    The major problem is 85%+++ of the food in grocery stores in the USA is preservative poison, pumped up with excitotoxin "flavor enhancers" to get people hooked-on buying & eating JUNK.

    DA11?

    Being blessed with a smaller size myself the DA-11 would fit me perfectly as is.

    Could a well seasoned homebuilder build himself a vehicle that run on the streets ?

    Plenty of 3 wheel kit "cars"out there too. -The nice thing about 3 wheelers is they aren't considered cars = less regulation.

    I think an option for the One Design already exists...DR-107...

    Formula-I?

    If I could get plans for the AR-5, I'd start building it as soon as I had them! Same for the Moni. Personally, I'd rather see something similar to the Red Bull Air Race. Pylon Racing, like that at Reno is just NASCAR in the sky. Boring. I've known more "normies" that were more familiar and...

    Movies with Cool Aircraft Featured

    I'm watching "Vanishing Point" (the '97 version w/Viggo Mortensen) and they just drove through an aircraft graveyard/boneyard that's allegedly in ID somewhere....showed rows of Sikorsky CH-37B's and some Grumman Albatrosses....and other aircraft. Anyone know where/which boneyard it actually is...

    A 55% SR-71 Blackbird under construction!

    Doesn't a flight a mere 13 miles out to sea fix that?

    Why is GA continuing its demise?

    It's not a mystery at all. Cost of entry. My last flight lesson (1.5hrs) cost over $400. $10,400-$16k for 26-40hrs of TRAINING is a non-starter for 99.9% of the population. Full stop. Especially when that's the just the first step! To get commercial pilot status its Approx $90k++ Also there...

    The Twelve-Gun "Twin-Engine Spitfires"

    The Japanese had/used explosive rounds in their 12.7mm (.50cal, shorter case than US .50cal) in WW2... The German "mine shells" and cannon shells in general aren't to cause over pressure inside the structure- its to destroy the skin (which is part of the structure) and the structure riveted to...
