Gentlemen: I stumbled on to your site. Please see photos for some pictures of my J1-B. I was the third builder- completed in 1986 sold it in 1998. I flew it...
Dave, Thanks for the pics and the info! Would you believe that's the only firsthand pilot report I've seen in 20 years of admiring this design? This is why I...
Owen: I would say that the J1-B became more stable at high speed but always "hunted" in the yaw axis. Adverse yaw was pronounced and coordinated turns were...
Hello, Just joined the group. I have liked this little aircraft for a while now and have thought about building one. Don't know much about this craft but I...
Ken: The rest of the group will hate this post...but I will be brutally honest. Having owned and flown a J1-B for 12+ years after following the several years...
Well, I sure don't hate your post. I think you make some excellent points. Certainly the J-1B isn't going to be the quickest, easiest, or fastest way to owning...
Ken, everything I know about this design is here in this forum or on my webpage. Be sure to read the message archive (though there isn't a lot there yet): ...
Dave and Ken 30% is a very high percentage when you consider that 95% of people fail in life!!!!!!! It doesn't matter what Ken builds he has a 30% chance of...
Dave, Thanks for your insight into homebuilding. You are right about the completed and finished numbers being few for the Janowskin designs here in the States...
Owen, I have read the archive already. I think that it is always a good thing to do just to get a feel for the group. I found your web page a while ago,...
Art, The Ragwing designs are pretty cheap to build. The support from the designer is not good but there is an active list of builders who support each other. ...
Hello everyone, I've been thinking about some of the comments that have been made here in this forum. I would like to talk about Dave Smith's flight report....
Good God a J1-B Tricycle!!! Dumbing down the airplane takes the fun out of flying it. I did ground loop mine but it was my own fault. That event made me a...
Great Idea... A Tri J-1B I have been working on the plans over the last few weeks and have done just about all of what you have talked about.. Great minds...
Just trying to help! Personally I fly a tail dragger at present but I wont chastise anyone for flying a tricycle. As far as making changes, I found out three...
Hi Group Have a great Xmas and New Year... Looking forward to all the messages over the next year and getting the help that I will require to complete my...
I have come across a problem with the main fittings of the spar to the bulkheads.. If I build to plan the wings will not fit the bulkhead fittings .. the main...
Art, I haven't had a chance to study that far into the plans yet. But I'm sure mine are the Alpha variety also. I acquired my plans from a private individual...
I bought my plans from Alpha and they came with no instructions either - just the bluelines and a couple 8.5x11 pages showing sketches of VW installation and...
Hi people I was thinking!!!! COULD BE DANGEROUS The plans are available thru Wojciech from Mr Janowski and I was thinking that we might get more support from...
Hi all, just joined. Read through all the postings so far, one took a few minutes, but hey, it's boat loads of info I didn't know before. I do not know why,...
Great to have new members Hi Ken No the wings do not tapper and you can build them with ply or use the same spar but use foam and glass... the tail and...

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the Janowski group. File : /J1 DS.bmp ...
Art, happy to hear from ya. Was starting to think maybe everyone lost interest in the plane.. hahaha.. It's always good to know folks who have built or are...
(Note: this was sent to me directly when I believe it should have been sent to the group. Alejandro, you should use Janowski@yahoogroups.com to send a group...
Alejandro, Congratulations!! There is at least on J-1B pilot on this list, so I hope you will get some good help here. I haven't flown a J-1b myself (in fact,...
