Ron- I dont doubt there being 100 planes, I doubted anyone being able to put together 100 names for the FAA as proof if they asked for it. Do you think USUA ...
... That's fine - IF you have the building skills, access to a shop, tools or the money to buy them, space in which to work, and the time to do it all. The...

... I think *that* might be why they see no need to publicize the negative things - there are so many people willing to do it for them! Whine, whine, whine......

... They hope. ... Yes, SP is a part of GA. Seriously, you didn't know this? ... Which is why the rule is 51% and not 100% - it was never the intention to ...

Give me a chance and a purpose and I can come up with full names and addresses for the ones that I know of. The quest for that info will surely lead to others....
... The 150's go for 20 to 30k, somewhere in there. So, in terms of purchase price, there's a 40k delta there. That'd probably be the main reason, though the...

I don't think any of US really consider SP part of GA, but it makes sense to the FAA's PR Dept to lump it in that way so they can advertise the growth of 'GA'...
I've just returned from Oshkosh (my 23rd convention). It was good for me except for the heat. Attendance by people was down about 1/3 or the same as...
Dan, Thanks for the great list of UL seminars. This was an improvement this year and I made a point to attend several. The main EAA forums had a great ...

A cheaper twin mark, a cheaper twin. Hope Rob sells many Euro Fox within the next few months because after that he will have some real competition. Abid ...
... Well with the Sonex, there are some extra costs, mostly extra hardware and stuff you need to buy to complete the kit. This isn't figured into the kit cost...
Sonex is a full year plus build project if you can work 2 to 3 days every week on it. That's 8 hour days. Two people built 2 of them here. They rentred storage...
$5k for a Sonex kit ... you should have jumped on that. Even the $10k isn't bad. Take it, I would say. Its a cut little airplane when its done. Abid...

Help! Need to find a source for a pair of light-weight aluminum rims that will take a 4.00/4.80-8 tire [looks like a wheelbarow tire]. The bearings go on a...

I agree with you mostly. Sonex is a cute little plane and building it would be great if you have the time. I heard about RV-12 but have not seen it and in case...
Probably right. I would veer towards the "Jabiru" engines more than the AeroVee. I have seen and flown in 2 Sonex with both jabiru and AeroVee. I think if you...
