Alright everyone, here’s a challenge for you. I bought a spinner cheap on eBay with the idea to make “something “ out of it, but I’m stumped what to make. See picture. Appears to be off a King Air or similar. It’s largish, 18” tall and 12.5” diameter. Any creative ideas on what to do with it...

the movie, I mean. In the beginning scene, the missing flight 19 of TBM Avengers is located. A crewman proceeds to start the engine of one TBM. After the engine fires, the crewman is shown advancing the *mixture*. I’m fairly certain all big radials are started full rich. Is there any...

Hello, I mistakenly bought the small tablet RAM mount when I needed the full size mount, alas, it was too late to return the mount. So I'm selling an essentially brand-new RAM small tablet mount, p/n RAM-B-121-UN8U, still in the (opened) bag, with instructions, inner rubber pad, and epoxy...

Hello, Planning to visit DC next week and have not been to the Hazy center before. Appreciate any input: 1. Would you recommend the visit? 2. We are staying near the Capitol building. Appears to be 1.5h transit by bus or 40min+ by car / $50 uber. Any other suggestions on how to get there...

... where & what are you flying this weekend? I got some tailwheel time in a Citabria yesterday but otherwise no flying this weekend :(

I'm researching the history of a 1943 PT-26 Cornell. Based on some previous research, we believe the aircraft was delivered to No. 4 Training Command at Calgary, Alberta, in 1943. I'd like to gather more details about the aircraft's assignment history and any records. Some web research didn't...

Hi All, I brought my older film cameras to EAA this year, thought I'd share the results. My plan is to print 2-3 of these for my home office. And get a prop for the wall. And some spinners. Maybe an old panel. But I digress. Here they are: https://goo.gl/photos/7oMDoDH4cb5BweZ38 -Paul

This weekend, returning home from a family visit, short 30 min flight. This plane has a 530 with ADSB in/out, and since I'm using foreflight for navigation I use the 530 mainly as a TCAS. I love the TCAS because I see traffic on the screen long before I can find them in the air. But I force...
