Do not archive



Im in the middle of this book and had to put it out there for the rest 

of my fellow rv builders.  Its excellent and right up our alley.

 www.periheliondesign.com <http://www.periheliondesign.com> has a 

 control module that has its own toggle switch and is about the size of 

 the old 50-cent piece. It fits into a standard toggle switch hole on 

 the instrument panel. I used it for flashing halogen lamps (don't have 

 landing/taxi lights) and it works great. Cost is $88 including 

 shipping. A very compact and fool-proof unit.

  

 FWIW - no connection with this firm.

I found a "Wright Brothers" book at one of the big book stotres on sale for

about 8 or 10 bucks and I am having a hard time laying it down. There is a

lot of stuff in it that is not normally pictured or told about. The book I

have is was from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It was a Barnes and

Nobles poor sellers that normally went for about $35. It has about 100 or

more photos.



I will have to look for "To Conquer The Air".  Another place that is full of



Great information is a Glenn Curtiss website. I ran across it doing a search

for the Great Aerodrome, which was built by Langley but rebuilt and flown by

Glenn Curtiss. It looks dangerous. 



Off the Glenn Curtiss site there are some good links to The Wrights and

others. Also do a search and look at some of the Sikorsky stuff. Some one

put up a Sikorsky website way back in the late eighties or early nineties. I

was new to the internet then and I thought that website was just

fantastic....
