I have built two of Van's airplanes, both now sold. I wanted to purchase different kit plane but the seller now will not ship them. You have to arrange pick up at the factory. It seems self-defeating to me and I cannot understand the maker's business decision. I know that Van's, for example...

I know Trade A Plane is going all digital...no more printed stuff....Do I have it right...I think I saw they will take your plane for sale ad for free, but want 10% of the sale price when it is sold?

Can't get on to Ra;tor's web site to catch latest in its development....anybody else have that problem?

Has Raptor changed its update schedule...I note no Tuesday update....what's up?

I have WingX but have not used it for a while...am thinking about renewing my subscription, but note that new feature allowing recording a flight has a window that takes up about 1/3rd of the screen...this is a feature I do not want...I tried to ask WingX how to remove it but their web site...

I had been following a conversion of an RV6A into a twin using two Corvaire (spelling?) but have not found anything after the builder posted photos of the plane transported to the airport. It was shown sitting on the ramp at an airport that had a control tower. That was months ago, and no word...

I posted recently about using a Clapper to start my engine heater. It worked and it didn't. There is a switch called 'Security' or something like that that turns on the Clapper with just one noise impulse....its sort of a security feature...placing a cell phone near the Clapper it activated the...

This might be a bit 'crazy' but I want to be able to (CHEAPLY) turn on my engine heater from the house if I am going to fly and the temps are low. The commercial ones I looked at don't meet my (cheap) view of things. So I am going to experiment by using an old cell phone I have on hand, a...

I have an LSA and at about 88-years of age am beginning to think a bit of help pulling the plane out of the hangar and pushing it back in might be a good idea. The plane is an RV-12, quite light, but when the temps are low the wheel grease is thick and it needs more push/pull than I am...

Last year, and again this year, I paid my EAA dues about 6-weeks before they were due In both cases I later get a bill saying my membership will be cancelled if not paid within 10-days. I have the cancelled check that cleared my bank so I know they received it I sent an e-mail to EAA asking...

I am replacing my Artex 406mhz ELT battery, but before I remove the instrument panel (50 or so screws) I wanted to know what the battery is in the remote control 'head' ..the Artex CD shows a copper-top battery from Duracell but company instruction CD only gives a 6-diget company number, not...

I ordered a propeller filter for my GOPRO camera from Aircraft Spruce. It would/should consist of a back part that fits over the camera's holder, a filter, a second screw-on ring that holds the filter, and a thumb screw to secure it to the GOPRO> When received, only the back part was...

Sad business...only info is from internet news.

Local TV and newspapers are reporting that at Buena Vista, CO KAEJ, two 70's men in a high performance auto were given permission to go onto the runway. Sheriff reports they were going over 100-MPH when they ran out of runway. They went airborne, then hit a gully and went airborne again...

Are any other Colorado TracFone users finding their service dead for the past several days? I tried their Chat Page where you should get a live person to help resolve problems. But they do not answer. Then they provide a telephone number to use TO REPORT YOUR PHONE IS DEAD. Come on !!!

I was offered a case of this oil for $5 a liter, which is less than half its usual price. I did not realize that oil HAD an expiration date. Can it be used safely?

I am searching for the name of an experimental aircraft that: - was egg-shaped and very small - had retractable gears - tip-up canopy - fast - somewhat narrow landing gear (seemingly) - doubt kits are still being sold - side-by-side seating for two people max - somewhat of a 'twitchy' plane - as...

After a week of bad weather today looked ideal; clear sky, dead calm wind, 12-degrees f. Take off normal..bumps over the runway due to thermals (or so I thought) but after clear of the blacktop the bumps kept coming...never stopped...never really severe, but constant heavy chop. Oh...

Took the plane out this morning for a short flight. Noticed an unusual noise as the bi-fold door opened...took plane out, and when closing the door it jammed. Found one of two cables had jumped off its pulley. After a bit a trying to move the door the other cable also jumped off its pulley...

Bob became a 'down the line' owner of the RV-6A I built several years ago, and he had an unfortunate incident at Oshkosh in 2015 that damaged the plane. Because I built it, I can't help wondering if it was repaired and is again flying. I hope it is because it was (and I hope still is) a very...
