    Arduino GPS EasyNAV First Look

    Hi All, I started on the EasyNAV Arduino GPS 2 1/4 instrument (same footprint as my others). The picture is a bit crummy, but you'll get an idea from it. This is a standard (but custom PCB to fit the form factor), Arduino. The GPS is a 66 channel unit, Standard 2 1/4 instrument just over 1 inch...

    3rd Arduino Instrument - Cheap GPS NAV

    My 3rd Arduino Instrument is going to be "Cheapy GPS Nav". I decided since in this airplane I fly to just a few airports in the general area, I really do not need a database which covers airports a 1000 miles away. So I will make a limited database and allow for a few of the entries to be a...

    Evaluating Wood Condition

    Hi, I have a pair of beautiful built wood wings for an Airbike. However, they were never covered and they are likely 15 years old. The epoxy joints are hard and there are no indications of rot, etc. There are stains in a few places like they got wet. How can I ensure that the wood and glue are...

    Carbon Rib in Aluminum Wing

    Hi, I have been fooling around with a redesign of a wing. Maybe I can get some feedback from others before I make what seems like a good idea into a mistake. The wing is constant chord, no twist, simple structure with machined spar caps on the main spar, a formed aft spar, and .020 skin. The...
