    Trailer Alarm, and more...

    Raspberry Pi would be like using a sledge hammer to put a thumb tack in a wall.... way over kill... little patience and this will come together. Also, want to make sure this is a 'simple' project, and a very small footprint.... something anybody could solder up and do, if they wanted to...

    Trailer Alarm, and more...

    Again, not an expert with this electronics stuff... but, I managed to figure out how to program the micro controller - arduino based - and design a circuit board... Did the board layout in Eagle... ship the Gerber files off to this company in China. In about two weeks, DHL delivers me...

    Trailer Alarm, and more...

    In my state, trailers do not have to be registered or titled... which is good. But, the down side is we have some of the highest trailer theft stats as well... so, you do not leave your trailer casually parked and unattended anywhere around here. Plan to take this a step further and...

    DA150/170 Hyde Soft Mount

    Emack203, thanks for the info. That is certainly what I have been told and a big factor in wanting to use the mount. However, this mount is going to have to wait for the next airplane or the next major renovation to this one. The Extra instructions call for a 1/2" stand off for the engine...

    Booma RC Intellimatch?

    Mark Boguszewski: A GSN APPROVED Master Builder!

    Have spent a little time around one of the planes Mark finished this past winter. Not only is the covering applied perfectly... straight and smooth. But, after sitting the hot sun all day long, nothing wrinkles... craziest thing you'll ever see. Makes his cowls and wheel pants out of...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Building this Hostetler cessna 182 and as noted earlier, didn't want to use the heavy plywood spars for the wing attachment. I found a picture online of what these spars look like. Lasered up some parts to use a CF wing tube. Got the main parts glued in.

    Can you believe this guy?

    You park your car outside of a baseball field, you have to accept the real risk of taking a baseball in the windshield... a bit of presumption of the risk. You put your airplane up at Joe Nall... you have every expectation that you are flying in an environment with a very heightened risk....
