lots of great how-to videos from EAA workshops - new videos being added weekly

EAA - growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. founded in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, interested in building their own airplanes. the organization expanded to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters, and contemporary manufactured aircraft.

October 22, 2010 - Members of EAA Chapter 288, based in Spruce Creek Fly-In airpark near Daytona, Florida, rolled out the asphalt carpet for a visit from EAA Founder Paul Poberezny to their October membership meeting. It wasn't your typical meeting as EAA 288 staged more than 130 aircraft along Cessna Boulevard (the main drag/taxiway at Spruce Creek) for a grand review by Paul. Selected aircraft and projects were shown to the EAA founder, along with a review of three P-51s and WWII vehicles. Plus, there was a flyover by several formations of homebuilt aircraft in honor of Paul's visit.

Lift (force) - Bernoulli's Principle - since the air moves faster on the top of the wing the air pressure must be lower. --g+*& - general interest, pictures, illustrations, animation, extensive advanced material and references

How Things Fly: Lessons: Bernoulli Brain Teasers - early 1700s Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli ... air must go somewhere - so it squeezes between the wings and the surrounding air. --4-9+@ - Grades 4-9, pictures, activities

Bernoulli Principle - the principle that allows wings to produce lift and planes and helicopters to fly. There are many factors that can effect the lift.

presentation by Alison Blank promoting alternatives for teaching math. --g& - general interest, extensive advanced material

To make amateur-built/ultralight aircraft pilots aware that test flying an aircraft is a critical undertaking, which should be approached with thorough planning, skill, and common sense. To provide recommendations and suggestions that can be combined with other sources on test flying (e.g., the aircraft plan/kit manufacturer's flight testing instructions, other flight testing data). This will assist the amateur/ultralight owner to develop a detailed flight
