    Rotec (specifically 3600)

    The only thing I'm aware of that they did was to redesign their oil tank to reduce foaming. I believe they also added an oil cooler. Carlo Cillar's 2021 Bronze Lindy Hatz Classic My Hatz Classic under construction

    Heads up Display

    Sorry that I am late to the party. I have a Hudly display in my 6A, interfaced with a GRT Sport SX EFIS. Sunlight readability is very good and brightness is adjustable. I find it very useful in the landing pattern, and while doing air maneuvers. A quick glance while still looking out the...

    homebuild choice

    Here is a new design for you. It is called the Stewart 265, designed by Don Stewart in Michigan. He designed it around a Walterlom 65hp. Cruises around 90. All tube and fabric. Has a really neat 1930's flair to it.

    RV Castering Nose Wheel

    I have not heard of this happening. One would think that at the speeds that RV's cruise at, the nosewheel pant would make the wheel position itself in trail. This irregardless of the breakout force (about 24lbs) of the nosegear. I suppose that if the breakout force is set too high, you could end...

    Looking for words of wisdom...

    Hi Broken: I will first off admit that I am very biased, but I would seriously consider the RV10 from Vans. Other than not being plans built, it fits your criteria quite well. Before you make any decision, I strongly urge you to attend the EAA Convention (AKA Airventure...stilll having...

    Careful, it might FLY!

    Very good post and one to take heed of. We had a similar incident at ***** airport. An individual just purchased a very nice example of a **** which is a taildragger. The new owner had a substantial amount of flight time in trike gear airplanes, but limited time in taildraggers. The new...

    Horizontal Stab is done!

    Doug: My advice is to make little ribs for your trim tab as well as the elevator where the trim tab is located. Makes for a much better appearance and is a heck of alot easier to build it that way. I used one of the cut outs from the elevator jigs supplied in the kit as a form to make my...

    Tunes

    You should consider an MP3 player. I have a Dell Jukebox 20 gig MP3 player that I am running through my PS Engineering PMA4000 audio panel, and it sounds great. I have a very simple "C" shaped mount on my panel that the carrying case/belt clip will clip onto. That and a short cord connecting...

    Capacitive vs. Float style fuel senders

    Hi John; Regarding the use of different fuels and the capacitance senders that Vans sells. It is my understanding that if you switch from 100LL to mogas, you will need to recalibrate the fuel gauge, as the capacitance is different with the different fuels. I believe the EAA had an article...

    kit suggestion?

    One kit that I did not see you mention is the Sonex. I am not sure it would fit the better part of a 1000 mile cross country requirement, but everything else seems to fit. I am also not sure if you can buy it in sub kits. Don't quote me here, but I think you can build one, complete, for...

    Turner T-40A

    Hi: For your wig-wag flashers, I refer you to the Bob Nuchol's (sp?) book, The Aeroelectric Connection. You can find it at www.aeroelectric.com. B&C sells a flasher unit that is diagramed in his book. He also diagrams the use of a Gall's flasher as is found in police cruisers. On the...

    How many of you guys fly RC Planes too?

    Hi Paul: I am a long time RC builder/pilot. Started building rubber band models when I was 9. Then moved into control line models. Got interested in girls in junior high and the modeling was put on hold. My future wife found out I was interested in RC airplanes when I was in dental...

    Hi Vince: Thought I would send you a reply, as I am also a Coupe driver. I fly a 1946 415C that has recently had a Continental 0200 put in it. Really climbs out nice now. Only trouble with flying the Coupe is that my feet have fallen asleep! Regards
