    A question for the A&P's out there....

    I was wondering if changing an airplane's battery is legal for someone who is not the owner of the airplane and not an A&P. One of the owners of the hangar I manage has a jet there and I saw his copilot, who isn't the owner or the PIC of the plane show up one day to change the battery and began...

    Feedback on the Aeroconversions 80hp...

    I'm thinking of getting a Sonex and am interested in feedback on these engines. I've heard locals tell me to stay away from them, but on the net, people seem to like them. Any direct experience with them?

He actually was one of the FAA guys who signed off on the Ballanca Viking wing design, but he said that's an FAA designed and tested wing, not some homebuilt wing that was...

Flying into our airport in turbo props and private jets at 300-400mph through rain...

    Environmental issues with a wood airplane...

    One of the kits (two actually) I'm looking into are wood, the KR-2(S) and the Corby Starlet. My father said wood rots and termites eat it, and I replied aluminum corrodes. Is a wood plane safe as a long term flying machine, or not really?

    Hi from cajun country...

    Hey guys, I'm Brandon. I'm from Lafayette, Louisiana and for many years I've aspired to build my own plane. I currently work at an airport, in charge of fuel quality among many things (hense the user name) and in January I'll be going to A and P school. I am also a pilot. The kits I'm currently...
