    An interesting engine conversion - flat plane to cross plane four cylinder

    They actually did this one first before the cross plane modification. They cut a Lada crankshaft, and welded it back up so that all four pistons move up and down at the same time, and reconfigured the camshaft and ignition so they would fire all at once.

    Somehow, telling a me me at the pub isn't quite the same.

    Help a bro with a website check?

    I know, right! The truth of the matter though is that I've learned that promoting the website for the purpose of selling books is more or less worthless. Promoting individual books on the other hand, works. Things have changed a lot in the last ten years. Back when I started, the idea of using...

    NA: dog ownership + lawn care

    Crushed stone rocks, so to speak (see what I did there?) unless it is lava rock. Don't get lava rock. Lava rock has nitrates in it and can aggravate weeds. I just recently found this out after about four years of lawn rock.

    Help a bro with a website check?

    My (author) website is in my signature. Here is the issue - it looks fine on desktops. It looks fine on phones. Squarespace does not have a tablet view, and when I pull up my website on my iPad, it looks mostly okay but the wave section separators do not match the adjoining section styles as...

    Missing Person: Julie Vessigault, beloved friend of airshows.

    Well that is close to home. Hope she is found. Statistically though, these things rarely end well.

    A barbecue adventure, the saga unfolds.

    But as long? I know that when I do crock pot corned beef, more than 4-5 hours on low is overdone and it's dry and crumbly.

    Iphone text messages

    This is a unrelated problem, but whenever I start up my car with Bluetooth enabled on my phone, it thinks knows I am either heading to the gym, or the pub.

    Reel mower for taller grass.

    We had a reel mower for our small patch of front yard grass when I was a kid in Virginia Beach. It just couldn't handle grass over three or four inches tall. It was just choke and the blades would stall. Powered reel mowers are used for maintaining golf course greens. Those might be able to...

    An interesting engine conversion - flat plane to cross plane four cylinder

    They basically hacked a crankshaft in to four pieces at the main journals, welded it back together and reground it, did the same to the camshaft, and actually got it to work.

    Arrow II flight planning/fuel burn

    My Arrow II had a three blade prop, which I believe eliminated the restriction of continuous operation at 2200 RPM. But I always cruised at 22 inches @2400 RPM. I don't recall if the power table was updated for numbers at 2200 rpm (I don't still have the plane or AFM.)

    good movies I might not have seen?

    Flight of the Intruder wasn't bad, although the electronic bomb directors on the A6's resembling a 1980's Atari console looked a little ridiculous.
