Sorry for never replying to this thread. Information on ordering the DVD can be found in this post.

The F-24 had cockpit knobs fabricated out of Tan or Brown Bakelite back in
the day. Depending on which factory and local supply. Good quality Bakelite
is not available today. Russia has stock, but not the right color and
quality.

Jamie contracted with a local machinist to find a good substitute ...

We've had a number of bots signing up and (sometimes) posting junk posts to the board. We've added a Google reCAPTCHA to the signup process in an attempt to reduce the amount of manual moderator effort required. Hopefully, this will be both not too intrusive and also be effective. I'd really like to ...

Updates seem to have gone relatively smoothly. I don't think there should be any user-visible changes to the board itself, but if you see something wrong, please let us know.

Does anyone have a source for suitable replacement springs for the steering cables on an F24? Mine seem to be getting a little weak.

My 24W-41A had a very home brew boot that, among other things, was attached using screws that rubbed against the tailwheel itself and damaged the outer tube (sigh). My attempts at ...

We added the "Digests" plugin for PHPBB this week. With this change, there is a new "Digests" tab in your User Control Panel (click on your name in the upper right-hand corner) and you can get email summaries of new posts on the board. The digests are pretty configurable in terms of how often they ...

I believe the original hubs are for a 10SC tire, which would have been a smooth tire. Which are crazy expensive today and don’t last long on asphalt (or so I am told). My 24W-41A came with the Russ Aircraft adapters (http://www.russaircraft.com/adapter.htm), letting me run a more common 10x4.0 ...
