    Tape measure gift has become my favorite.

    Must have 10 or more tape measures around the shop but this one has an interesting feature. It is printed on both sides of the blade and really comes in handy if you want to measure something overhead or laying on your back in a tight space. Under 20 bucks, cant go wrong...

    Is Windows 10 annoying anyone else?

    Not really related to our aviation interests here, but it seems we all have to integrate these machines to see what we want. Don't want to turn this into a operating system debate either. But if you are a Windows user and are fed up with the endless badgering to move to Windows 10, here is a...

    A New Year, A New Design...FANDANGO

    Happy New Year to all ! My hopes for a twin ducted fan have crashed and burned. (Hats off to "Malish" for his accomplishment) Hopeful that a simpler single fan concept will ease the technical and cost issues a bit. Here goes: Basically a twin boom pusher with an integral duct...

    Any cool aviation things to see/do near Las Vegas?

    Last minute trip to Vegas this week for the SEMA show (Like Oshkosh for car guys). This is what pays for my airplane habit. Had hoped to see Nellis AFB but looks like 30 day advanced planning needed for any kind of tour. Anything else (Aviation) in the area worth checking out, maybe 100...

    Recommended Aviation related movies thread...

    Suggestions for movies that are airplane inspired. Most of the mega-hits everyone knows, but there are some very good ones out there that never made it big, but are worth seeing. Stumbled across this one while shopping for books. Read the Wiki review to see if it is right for you...

    Pre-Forming sheet stress/strength question

    When a conventional style rib or bulkhead structure covered by riveted sheet aluminum, such as a fuselage or D-section, a fixed amount of pressure exists at each rivet. (I think). Would there be any difference to the structure if the covering sheet was pre-formed to fit using rollers or...

    Computer "Napkin sketch" Submitted for your approval...or not.

    Floating an early design idea for critique. The experts will quickly see a lack of formal training, mainly designed on paper and modeled in X-Plane to test things. (and its fun to fly while designing) Here's the basics: Two place tandem VFR Empty weight 1,100 lbs Gross weight 1,700...
