Ryan, According to the Limbach operators manual for my engine (L2000), 3,000 is the maximum continuous RPM and that is what I used. Limbach says the fuel burn...
Hi guys, To those that use hinges on their access covers, did you make them yourself, or is there some place to purchase them? It seems the "C" type of hinge...

Jeff, I am impressed with the fuel economy of your Limbach engine. What is your climb and RPM as noted in this message ? What is your prop manuf. & specs ? ...

Hi Fred, I made my own, both for the canopy, as well as the fwd access. It realls was very straight forward, I started patterning with stiff cardboard, then ...
Hello, I am about to mount my new MK II canard, and have the old elevators. Two questions: 1. Can I reuse the old elevators? 2. Is there a source for the...
Ok, now I'm lost. What's the difference between MKI and MKII elevators? Are you referring to the mandatory mod to the controls and the rib addition to the...
I am also very happy with the economy. Climb is about 750 fpm, but I need to calibrate my VSI. When in level flight (or sitting on the ground) it shows a...

I have 2 ideas that I think are worth mentioning. MY flying MK- IIH's front access panel held in place with 4 countersunk screws. Takes all of about 20...
Howdy, I bought some plans a little bit ago and I am starting to get the materials to start. My question is where does everyone get their foam for the wings?...
Joshua, Some Lowes carry buoyancy billets of 2lb/cu' density. This is suitable for wing foam. As I remember, it is considerably cheaper than what Wicks or...
