Joe: If I understand you correctly....it is your plugs that are being sealed because you are sealing the edges of the foam between the inside and outside fiberglass skins. And it is through this flox

I recently had the opportunity to rub elbows with Burt at a composites workshop. Now that he only lives 25 miles from our EAA chapter 79, he occasionally shows up at these things. As the attached phot

The recent discussion about torque and horsepower has stimulated some off group discussion regarding propeller efficiency. Once you have tweaked your engine to maximum efficiency, performed all drag r

Sometimes it helps to understand motion concepts by visualizing it in a linear situation rather than rotational motion. So for torque, think of it as a lever arm. If you are jacking up your car with a

Torque is the force vector in the equation. RPM is the scalar quantity...which when multiplied by torque, yields the power quantity. So torque has no less importance than RPM...its half of the equatio

Dick: My ratio pump is the one I think most bought in the 80's. There is an aluminum lever bar that is 1/2" x 1" x about 18 inches long. There are two pistons that dispense the resin and hardener. Min

Here is the filter I used. It fit nicely down in my sump. I epoxied in an alum tube riser that the aluminum collar of filter fit nicely over.. It pressed on tight but I also used a fuel resistant adhe

Rich: When I was sourcing my filter I went to NAPA car parts. They had hundreds of different sizes. I found one that fit my sump perfectly. I think it was $8.00 You are correct about your description

When Al first educated us on the automotive self cleaning filters last year, I was intrigued. How could a filter be self cleaning? My mind was stuck in the "in line" filter concept. So I had to resear

After you educated us Al on those self cleaning filters, and I was in the middle of rebuilding my tanks on my sport plane, .....because of ethanol damage....I bought one for the outlet of my header ta

And all this time I thought the Continental Motors 0-300 in my 172 ran on gas. There must be some conversion mechanism for turning the gas into electricity inside. :-) Hey Bruce....while you are relax

Al: It appears that you want to maximize cooling efficiency relative to the other variables. Does this test include your exhaust eductors? Should the eductors be included as a variable? I am visualizi

Richard: Are you saying that you have an unused strake that could potentially be used for pressure testing? If so, and you don't want to take it to destruction, I would suggest mounting a pressure gua

I caved under the pressure of Marc's goading. I set up my own fancy monometer. I didn't even have to buy $2 of tubing. And I bummed some food coloring from my 83 year old Mom who lives with me. Here a

Ahhh...a destructive test of a leak proof strake. Brilliant! There must be a wrecked/totaled Long or Varieze out there with at least one good strake that could be sacrificed. Fancy compared to a ballo
