    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...

    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

    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...

    Identification on Aluminum Stock

    I got a nice sheet of scrap .063 aluminum the other day. But I can't read any of the other info. Is there a way to make that visible? Like wiping it with cat urine or vinegar or some other black magic type thing? Thanks. -glen

    Forming curved aluminum panels

    The plane I'm building has three curved panels. Two pieces of .032 less than two feet long are on the top of the forward fuselage. Another piece of .020 about eight feet long forms the top of the aft fuselage. The builders' photos I've seen all show pulling the panels into position with straps...
