A friend of mine use to fly his sailplane out of Mission B.C. Canada. One early Saturday morning he went up there to enjoy some morning flying... He told me...
Thanks for my morning chuckle! This is one of those stories that is humorous in hindsight, but at the time I can imagine you were pretty shook up. I grew up...
Okay while the numbers are fresh in my head. Wingspan: 25 feet Wing cord: 36 inches. Wing area: 150 Sq. Ft. Mean Aerodynamic Cord: 48 inches Length: 20...
Well there is not much to say really the cockpit is 30 inches wide so the Suby will fit behind it. It should be a nice roomy cabin. The vista looking out...
From my point of view, flaps would be worth the effort, are really not that hard to do and unless you really enjoy slipping almost every landing, would be...
Sounds a little like a Mini Mong Bipe ... From: Femm <femmpaws@...> To: Janowski <Janowski@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wed, Apr 11, 2012 2:03 am Subject:...
Daniel: I always liked to carry a bit more altitude on final in the sailplanes in case I had an engine outage er.. severe sink while on final. I used to slip...
Daniel: I forgot about all the old Wrights,Curtis, and Dugan's I guess they qualify as pusher bipes. And then there was the WW1 varieties as well. I mean...
Hmmm only in the fact they both have two wings... would they be a little alike. I forgot to say the wings will have a negative stagger of 12 inches. Rich...
Hey Femm; this is great info, any chance you can post the excel sheet in the file section and share with us??.... sounds like a good start for a designer... ...
It will stay a taildrager. Making a milking stool out of it would add more cost and weight. There is just something wrong with making a biplane that is not...
Hi guys, the super petrol would be more my liking for a conversion of the J-1B/J2. Best of both worlds!!! But tandem is the classic biplane way. And Honestly...
On the Aerosport Yahoo group, there is a sketch of a Woody's pusher in a biplane, taildragger configuration. Not sure if anyone has built one that way though....

I know where were a couple homebuilts that were trigeared biplanes... I kinda remember seeing a photo or two of a Curtiss pusher that the Woody's pusher was...
Okay I am working on a set of three view drawings for the biplane. Now these will just be for working out what goes where and what will fit where. They are...
I would like to address my fellow Janowski compatriots. All evening I have been looking at my construction details and progress of my Much modified J1-B. I...
From my vantage point Jerry, your build defines "homebuilding". Anyone can follow a basic set of plans but what you have accomplished is far beyond that. You...
Mikey: Most of the hard thinking is done and the decisions made. I just need to keep cutting and welding now. My brain was getting full there for a while....
Dont know if this aircraft been mentioned yet but it seems ideal for what is being discussed.  http://www.glassgoose.com/images/gallery/ggp1.jpg  Daniel ...
I remember when that aircraft first came on the scene years ago. I have seen one and they look to be a very nice kitted aircraft. The one bad thing about...
What impressed me about this design is they said there was a few planes where one of the top wings departed the aircraft and they still landed. Â from thier...
Well maybe there is... Here's a short list of a few things that are free to homebuilders, experimental aviators. To view this very same message at an...
Well it's been real slow here for a while now... and I think it's time to liven it up. Well maybe get some of you talking. I think we all agree that the...
