    A Disease Called "MustBendumAluminum"

    I think I must have this disease because even though I built and sold a Thatcher CX4, I have the urge to do another one, altho this time it would be starting from a partially completed project. The first one was a taildragger and the next one would be tri-gear. If you were to build a second...

    CriCri MC-15 in NZ

    A group of Thatcher CX4 builders met at Joel's house to review his project. He had some similarly beautifully crafted, hand-formed bits and the response of the day was, "Another reason to hate Joel!"

    Mustang II at 75% completion (builder now deceased)

    You should seek out your local EAA chapter, perhaps the builder was a member, and ask them for their advice. Our chapter has received multiple projects from estates, or widows, and we have sold them to raise scholarship funds. We advertise on Barnstormers and we sell the projects on eBay. In...

    What Would You Do to Revive a Lyc O-360 A1A

    that was sitting idle for over 30 years with no preparation for storage? Suggestions so far include: Cheap: pour a cup of mystery oil in each cylinder, turn it over some, and then put the fire to it. Expensive: Send it out for a $15k overhaul. Perhaps there are some intermediate approaches...

    FAA Registration - Engine Model ???

    On the registration screen for several planes I've been investigating, there is a field called Engine Model, right below Engine Manufacturer. For Lycoming engines, numbers like 41514, 41508, 41505 appear. I asked a re-builder shop what these mean and can they relate to anything else, like...

    Electronic Ignition - Experimental - VW vs. Aircraft

    Let me restate my complaint, which involves experimental aircraft only: For an aviation engine by VW, Great Plains has an electronic ignition which costs $470. For an aviation engine by Lycoming, SDS has an electronic ignition which costs over $1000. Granted it has way greater capability than...

    Electronic Ignition - Experimental - VW vs. Aircraft

    When I built my CX4, the VW engine had one mag and one electronic ignition. The electronic side was simple, lightweight, and powerful. When I look for something similar for a Lycoming, there's nothing to be found. The systems for the "certified" engines seem to cost more than replacing the mags...
