About 15 years ago, I made some KRnet stickers and sold them through the mail for $3 each. I ran out pretty quickly and I've been asked several times over the years if I have any more of them, and I haven't. I figure I'm way overdue on doing this, but I got another run of them made and they'l

Steph, The master switch is that way by design. Usually, you do not want the alternator on line without the battery in the loop as most alternators will get a runaway overvoltage condition which will damage your avionics, or with no voltage to excite the alternator, they won't produce anything

This is something that's mentioned in the Flying Magazine article. The pilot who killed himself in that spin was doing it in a plane he didn't build himself and apparently he had little idea of where he was in the cg envelope. The only time I've ever been in a spin, it was with a CFI in a Cessna

Hi again Owen, I read a lot about the Osprey - have many, many pics of it. Yes, I noticed the strakes on the wing. I will do this on the end of my inboard wing. I have decided to use a RAF48 profiled flat plywood tip, larger than the actual wing tip airfoil as my wingtips. It will both look nea

Hi, I received today the master switch(Cessna)from aircraft spruce. I understand how to wire it, but I think if you wire it the right way it is not possible to isolate the battery. There are 2 small noks in the red switch so you can switch of the altenator. But if you want to keep the alternator

Like Henri! That is a very chilling story. Iā€™m with Jeff to some extent on questioning the ability of wing based VGā€™s to limit spins, however they have been proven and certified to increase control surface effectiveness. In the twins and Lake Amphibs Iā€™ve flown, they are massively effe

I don't know of anyone that has described slats or Vortex Generators (VGs) as a spin prevention device. They may contribute in a small way by delaying aerodynamic stall. However, if the plane can stall, it can also spin. Vortex Generators: There is a lot of debate an a lot of wild claims in t
