We've all heard it I'm sure, If it moves and shouldn't, use 'Duct-tape', if
doesn't and it should use WD-40.
WD-40 is a water displacement treatment. If you are protecting metal from
the ravages of water, WD-40 is good. If you want to loosen a rested bolt,
then Liquid Wrench is better and
Yup. Good book. The ending is a bit preachy, though.

I've been experimenting with inexpensive (read cheap) on board video for a while, so
far without much success. It seems like a big hassle, especially since I really don't
want to fly the plane from the video...i just want to get some cool stuff recorded. I
think the best solution to this is
I have a really cool camera that works great I should take it out this

Just promise you'll get some speed runs in the shots! Gotta see some terrain whizzing
by! Watching video from a glider circling or even doing loops at 800 feet gets old
pretty quickly.
Has anyone done onboard video from a plane DS'ing yet? This could be your chance! :-)

Camber is VERY useful for getting more lift on light
days. Works better on some airfoils than others.
Its never more than 3-5 degrees to be really effective.
1/8 is probably too much for a lot of cases. I'd say
you get most of your benefit in the 0-3/32 region,
but it probably depends on the
