    '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)...

    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 4cyl flywheel

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

    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...

    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...

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

    In the in-wing 'wet wing' tanks... And proceeded to completely finish the wings without them... The tanks use the leading edge of the wing to hold 20gal of fuel per wing.... NO SENDERS for a gauge... NO ACCESS to the tank except on the end.. And it's fiberglass, so drilling/cutting to mount a...

    For Sale - 30 completed Aircamper ribs - make offer

    As noted, I have 30 Piet ribs (IDed as such by a guy on this forum)... 29 are in perfect condition, one has minor damage to the top arch (should be repairable).... Came with a Turner T-40 project I bought - apparently someone bought them thinking they could be used with this plane... Nope...

    Antenna placement

    Any specifics on where they should go on the plane (besides 'somewhere behind the cockpit')? Do you need 1 antenna per radio (2 com and 2 nav) or can you get one single antenna that will do 'all of that'? Do any of them have to be aligned or placed in 'special' spots?

    Help needed Identifying 'Mystery' wooden wing ribs

    Well, these came with a partially complete plane project I bought... Problem: they are NOT for this plane... Spar placement is wrong, as is the shape.... So: Anyone know what THESE are for? Distance from the back face of the FRONT spar to the front face of the REAR spar is just under 28"...

    Transponder (Bendix/King 76A) questions

    Ok... My knowledge of avionics is pretty well limited to using them, plus the stuff you learn while getting your pilot's license... So here's the question... If I build an aircraft and use this model of transponder (KT76A), do I need some sort of external altitude encoder, or does the...
