    HBA Bookstore??

    There may even be posters here with the technical smarts and the ability to self-publish really practical homebuilding books. Selling their books for them would be a natural fit.

    Design stress mathmatics on a wing extension

    Thanks, I stand corrected, wsimpso1. I only focused on the h-cubed term in the area moment of inertia in the denominator of the formula.

    Design stress mathmatics on a wing extension

    Billski said "Beam bending strength goes with the square of depth" It is even stronger than that. The simple beam bending formula says the resistance to bending is proportional to the cube of the height of the spar web.

    Lite weight Corvair

    I too am watching Brady McCormick's Corvair closely. The new factory billet crank may go for many hours without breaking and make the 5th bearing unnessesary, the aluminum cylinders are probably O.K., shaving excess parts off the case and using lightweight accessories makes sense. The carbon...
