Between running to my weekly aviation dinner on Thursday nights and dashing to the airport to see a friend off to China, my wife slipped me the latest issue of Kitplanes – October. My friend is part of the Chinese project to modify three more Boeing 747 cargos into the world’s largest shuttle transports. The prototype flew into Boeing Field this month. Their variant is 13.5” wider than the modified Airbus who stole it from the Russian AN-124s. These will become freighters for the 787 fuselages being autoclaved in South Carolina then shipped to and final assembled in Everett. I set the magazine in a pile.
Back to the magazine. I have been a little frustrated lately after renewing my subscription for another 3 years to see all the disingenuous text on Sheetmetal babble for the last few months and the dwindling number of pages to turn. Enter this issue. A bright fresh start.
It is available on newsstands such as Barnes and Noble or Borders with about 3 copies per store. It was like a recap on every single issue on the RV-10 site this week. There is a great article on the aircraft and the factory owner (rumored to have led to all the sparks against the Epic LT that led to and what created the 51% taskforce study). It’s Ron Lueck’s – and his Colossal 650hp turbine CompAir, this is his chance to blow his horn while the sparks fly behind the closed door/smoke filled room. There is an excellent letter to the editor called “Wired for Safety” on previous incomplete reporting of proper safety wiring techniques. Most builders would just gloss this side note away. Another detailed article by editor, Marc Cook on seeking the perfect Panel construction. He might have excused himself and posted Tim’s or Deem’s journey for us guys. There is a remarkable article on Detonation and Pre-ignition by none other that the source of definitive engine research - GAMI and APS instructor Walter Atkinson. The Hand Grenade on the header should get your attention. There are two great articles on Oil Cooler Basics and Anatomy of a Vernatherm by new reporter, Norm Ellis. There is even a product review of the DRDT-2 dimpler for lurkers selecting tools. Guess I must be a Gearhead.
This is one copy you should get before the newsstands are stripped bare. If you can’t find a copy, let me know which article you want to read and I will PDF you the pages. They won’t last the weekend on the newsstand. Enjoy the read.

Hi John, I would appreciate the article on the detonation and pre-ignition if and when you get a chance.
Good to see you’ve adopted the turbanator humour. I really enjoy your informative posts, aircraft or otherwise!

John:
Thanks for the comments. Let's hope this creates a "run" on the October issue.
I assume the comment about sheetmetal babble has to do with Dan's metal-skills series. While I accept that you might not have appreciated it, that series has been hugely popular among our readers. We've received more kudos on that than on the rest of the magazine's contents combined.
Glad, also, that you like Walter's piece for us. We've got more coming from him.

Sorry, one more comment.
I don't know what you're on about regarding the dwindling number of pages. We've been locked at the same book size for many years. If you think we're smaller now than, say, in 2004, it's a trick of light. Overall, our advertising is up very slightly, but I'd be really surprised if we had even one fewer page per issue of editorial than a year ago.

Marc - Your right on the page content. I just grabbed one out of my vast pile – February 2004 and it was the same 80 pages. Must be my old age playing tricks on me. I did fail to plug Jim Weirs exceptional article “How Hot are we?” on building a temperature indicator to help with the upper and lower cowl airflow pattern solution. And no one should pass on those $2.99 digital multimeters he mentioned. I stand by the personal opinion that this was the finest issue since the article on Panel Design years ago. I was tongue in check on your Sportsman article. I found it well balanced, a valuable insight and a solid baseline for other builders entering the journey with panels. Know the mission.
One aircraft does not make anyone an expert builder, but I see where many love Dan’s style and brashness. Unfortunately many will miss scores of valuable tricks and techniques which should be exactly the kernels of wisdom found upon digging into well researched and written articles. It should be taken no more seriously than an entry primer and I don’t purport to be able to communicate near as well on so important a skill set. I am humbled every night by the guys who do walk the walk. A fair and balanced disclaimer would be to support and direct passionate students to seek first hand tutorial experience from other pros. The late Tony Bingeles books and Kent White Videos comes to mind and these live into eternity. Diversity of instruction builds a stronger gene pool.
For anyone who cares, this October is a don’t miss issue. It justified my three year commitment.
