Those are great photos. They look like panoramic. What kind of equipment
did you use? Did you just crop them to get the effect? Shooting panoramic
with my digital camera requires taking several ...

Here is some food for thought. My chemical engineer son tells me that
carbon dioxide is not a very effective greenhouse gas and others are more
effective. Also note that a trend of earth warming i ...

Cy,
I am in the process of installing a Jabiru 3300A engine on my Kitfox 5,
also. At present I have the engine hanging on the firewall and am making a
custom cowling from my old cowling and one bu ...

I recently offered my NSI Turbo Engine for sale on this List. I also

crankcase, something I would think was very undesirable. Please understand
I am sure it does serve a purpose, it just is not ap ...

Hey you'al, what is an impulse line? It is a term I have not encountered

installed a lot of fuel pumps on aircraft, motor h ...
