I'm surprised that the home passes inspection with PVC air pipes. If I were buying it I'd make them rip it out. I don't think anyone -- or at least very few people -- here is going to tell you "Yes,

The hubbub seems to be that some folks think PVC air piping is unsafe, in that it is not resilient to surge pressures and can shatter when it fails. Other folks seem to think that since theirs hasn'

I'll second that! But air ratchets are wonderful tools. I first used one helping a friend drop the engine into his MGB, and it made bolting down the radiator bulkhead just fly. Just start all the nu

I strongly strongly recommend not doing this; but I guess it's too late. Painting the control surfaces can upset their balance; they must be rebalanced and rerigged by a qualified rigger before you

Whitworth is a system of fasteners used mainly on older British cars and motorcycles. The heads are not "normal" size, either SAE (our regular "inch" sizes) nor metric. The sizes marked on the tools

Good idea. For a few bucks you can get a CO monitor from any pilot shop; check out the little airfield near your house or call Sporty's (1-800-LIFTOFF in the USA). For a couple of bucks you get a li
