A cup a day sends an aspiring pilot on her way

By General Aviation News Staff · May 19, 2006 ·

Many enterprising aviators ran lemonade and Kool-Aid stands in their youth to raise money for flight training. Café Avion, an organic coffee roasting company based in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, is taking that idea to a new level by making a donation to the Ninety-Nines scholarship fund for every pound of its Aviatrix blend purchased. “I […]

Prove it!

By Janice Wood · May 19, 2006 ·

When I was a small boy, if a schoolmate made a statement with which another disagreed, the accepted rejoinder was “Prove it!” Later on, having discovered an interest in science, I learned that this is an appropriate response to any theory. “Prove it.” Today, however, theories abound, proofs are as scarce as hens’ teeth, and […]

A simple solution to FAA’s funding woes

By General Aviation News Staff · May 19, 2006 ·

I continue to be astonished by what appears to be the inability of both the FAA and those now debating its funding sources to perceive a blinding flash of the obvious that surrounds the passenger excise tax issue. The portion of FAA income that does not originate from general fund revenues contributed by all income […]

Drawings could revitalize GA

By General Aviation News Staff · May 19, 2006 ·

GAN could sell more issues than it could print! The thousands of model builders would subscribe if you would publish three-view drawings of all popular personal airplanes as you just did on the cover of the April 7 issue. You could add to those all owners who would like to plan their own T-hangars as […]

Vertical engines for kit-built heilcopters

By General Aviation News Staff · May 19, 2006 ·

I have been traveling and was way behind in my reading. I saw your comments regarding a vertical piston engine for a homebuilt helicoper (Ask Paul: What’s the best engine for a kit-built helicopter? March 10 issue). The Brantly used the V0-360 with a carb for the model B-2 and B-2A. I owned the TC […]

Sikorsky’s S-38: The Beauty and the Beast

By General Aviation News Staff · May 19, 2006 ·

Dave Paulley, who is known for Western art as well as aviation art, has an affinity for stories of the Golden Era of aviation – the late 1920s and 1930s. One of his favorite subjects is seaplanes because of their artistic beauty and the adventuresome stories they have to tell. One plane in particular, the […]

Race in on to convince lawmakers about how to fund the FAA

By Charles Spence · May 19, 2006 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. — One thing about Washington politics: It is believed that if something is said often enough, it is going to be believed — that is, unless someone or something also says the opposite often enough. Take funding of the Federal Aviation Administration for instance. Like Chicken Little running around screaming that “”the sky […]

What causes a formerly flawless engine to run rough?

By Paul McBride · May 19, 2006 ·

QUESTION: I have a 2001 Maule with an O-360-C1F engine that had been running flawlessly until a few months ago. I have a JPI-700 and have noticed that the peak EGTs have been slowly climbing from the original low-1500°s to 1600° or so. Cylinders #1 and #3 are higher than #2 and #4. Also, #1 […]

Ethanol and airplanes: A good mix?

By Ben Visser · May 19, 2006 ·

There is an old joke that the definition of mixed emotions is watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Corvette. It is in this state of mind that I recently read Dr. Dennis Helder’s “”Investigation of Ethanol as a General Aviation Fuel-Final Report.”” There is an old joke that the definition of […]
