    Sold Blue Mountain Avionics

    Did this sell yet? FYI the engine box (which would have been on the engine side of the firewall, connected to a bunch of sensors for CHT/EGT/etc) looks like this:

    'Full' tach for Rotax 277 2stroke 1cyl (NOT tinytach or voltmeter-looking thing)

    Most motorbikes use a gear-and-cable driven tach. Not one running off the ignition system.

    'Full' tach for Rotax 277 2stroke 1cyl (NOT tinytach or voltmeter-looking thing)

    I am wondering what sort of boat/snowmobile tach would work with a Rotax 277 with POINTS ignition (not CDI). I have a Fisher 303 that has this engine, and I would like to put a 'better' tach in it than what it has now (- preferrably NOT a $100-200 aircraft instrument (and besides, a tach for a...

    Trying to remember the name of a non-certified navcom

    Trying to remember the name of this device - saw one on Ebay a few years back. It was sold by one of the online experimental-aviation-supply companies, and was a panel mount unit that combined a nav, com, intercom, and CDI into a single unit (the 'CDI' function was shown on the unit's LCD)...

    I saw this RC plane and . . .

    You might be able to make a ducted-fan design work... Or you might end up with the CG/stability characteristics of a P-39 Aircobra (WWII fighter with a centrally mounted engine, and a driveshaft running through the pilot's legs to the prop up front).... It had a nasty stall-spin recovery...

    Multiple Fuel Tanks

    Well, thats pretty much what you have in a 172... The question is, why do all the low wing birds rely on manual switching???

    O-290G mounting

    Ok, I have an O-290G that I intend to use on my project... When I got it, it had been converted to aircraft config, so that's out of the way.... The only thing is, the mounts... The 290D uses conical rubber mounts... The 290G case is not machined for those, but rather has a circular pad...

    Lycoming cylinder P/N question

    The P/N is 6507 (As stamped on the upper cylinder fin)... What engine is this cylinder for?

    Lycoming 4cyl flywheel

    As noted... I have a 290, but the flywheel should be the same for the common 4s... 144 teeth...

    Antenna placement

    So far I am looking at a Comant dual-NAV/GS diplexer.... They also make a switching device for dual COM to one antenna, but the **** thing is more expensive than a 2nd antenna... Looks like I'll be going 1 NAV & 2 COM antennae....

    Fuel system setup question - primer pump

    Ok, I'll check again... Mine is a 290G conversion... The last owner put aviation cyls on & dual impulse mags.... Now that I think of it, I think I know what you're talking about... It's on the bottom of the cyls, looks kind of like a fuel-injector port, my engine has them capped right now...

    Fuel system setup question - primer pump

    Just gathering background before I gather extra parts... The engine I'm going to use is a Lycoming O-290, with a Sonex AeroCarb... The *right* MA3SPA is just too hard to find, and too expensive when found... On this sort of setup (The carb is pressure sensitive, and uses a fuel-return line...

    Guy I bought wings for my project from forgot his fuel senders...

    There actually is room for about 1GAL of additional fuel tank in the wing roots... There is a 4 degree dihedral on this bird too, the wings are ~16ft each.... So I don't know where the tips wil be in-re cockpit.... But an extra root tank would be below the rest of the fuel... Hmm...

    Painting wood aircraft...

    Ok... If I had a metal bird... I wouldn't be asking this (my 'day job' is aircraft structural repair for the Army)... But I don't know one way or the other about wood... I've picked up a T-40 project that needs painting... It appears to have been covered THICK (up to 1/8" in some areas) with...

    Help needed Identifying 'Mystery' wooden wing ribs

    The 'Super' model gives you a P-51D style 'Bubble' canopy vs a Beech/Piper style roof... The 2nd bird is a tad bit more than 'almost' complete, it turns out... The entire airframe is essentially *DONE*, it just needs assembly, and rigging of electronics, controls, avionics, and...

    Pietenpol materials required?

    I've got a set of wing-ribs for sale on this board, if you've decided to 'go ahead' with the project in question.... I have no use for them, but someone who's building a Pietenpol could save a good deal of work that way... 30 ribs...
