Has anyone tried to use a Chevy belt driven vacuum pump ? They are readily
available, reliable and reasonably compact. They were used on the Chevy
pickups with the 6.2 litter diesel engines. I put well over a 100K miles
on one with no problems. They could be belt driven or a coupler could b

Too bad we have to worry about even having ELTs. If we can concentrate on
developing our aircraft with slower, more survivable landing speeds, then the
correct radio could be used once on the ground to contact the ham guys to come
and get us. We may have to give up some top speed to have a lot s

Glenn,
My dad's old KR-2S started out using a venturi that was mounted on the bottom
of the fuse between the main gear to drive the attitude indicator and the DG.

After a lot of stuffing around, it is working again.
Now, I have been very slack, and too busy flying, I hope to do some web page

I wrote a week ago about my wheel bearing adjustment problem, Well I also
had a fuel smell in the cabin, and when I checked it out, I found a small

I borrowed a 5 inch hole

I welded a gusset on the underside,( so it looks like a "T" section. very
