Image Name: Airplane Sandwich Category General Aviation Photos
Plane: Other
Description: The pilots of these two trainers walked away from a midair collision that occurred while both planes were on final for touch-and-goes. In what has to be one of the most unique landings ever accomplished, after colliding at an altitude of about 200 feet the two planes became interlocked, but proceeded to a safe landing at Plant City Municipal Airport. The planes involved were a Piper PA-28 Cadet and a Cessna 152. This accident demonstrates the blind spots that exist on low and high wing airplanes, this accident might not have happened if the Cessna was on top. ...Or if they were following uncontrolled airport radio procedures <g>.

Image Name: Bearing Plate Spacers Installed Category Construction - Landing Gear Retracts
Plane: Glasair Super II
Description: Bearing plate spacers installed. The right wing took a 1/8" spacer on the forward bearing plate and nearly 1/4" spacer on the aft bearing plate. The left wing took no spacer on the aft bearing plate and on the forward bearing plate it took just under 3/8" spacer. I guess the gear boxes on the JumpStart wing are not glued in with great precision.

Image Name: Brake Master Cylinder Attach Links Category Construction - Control Systems
Plane: Glasair Super II
Description: Drawing of the brake master cylinder attach links I made for my plane, they are a bit longer than what is called out in the manual, this will allow me to get them further away from the rudder pedal tubes so they dont hit it. This will also increase the amount of brake applied per amount of pedal push, great for guys with short legs or if you just want more effective brakes. Builder: Allen Rockwell
