Altair: I have been working on the engine lately. A lot of travel has kept progress slow. After I run the engine on the stand for a while I will proceed to...
excellent job, Jerry.    if you can go posting pictures ....   what changes you made ​​in the project? I am very interested ineverything...
Altair: If you have followed the threads on the web site you will find the list of changes that I have made. I assume that you have already looked at the...
Hi all I'm the new kid on the block. Back when Alpha Aviation was selling J-1B plans I picked up a set... well life got in the way and they were lost. So I...
Femm: Let me be the first to welcome you to the site. We have several members that are making changes to the basic Janowski design. You should fit right in. I...
I know far to many people like that in my life. A number of my domestic partners were like that in the past. Well one of the first changes I would be...
Hi welcome to the group Kristine, Hey we are not the mad ones who thnk if i change this and if i do that, the spam can drivers are the mad ones. They dont know...
Hey Femm Welcome. I know you're on several of the other groups I lurk on. We exchanged emails some while back re: airfoil ordinates, camber lines and the...
Thanks Mikey, you think I'm a TIG Yoda?? I try to do a nice job with anything I do. Not only do I do TIG welding I also do MIG and stick... and one must...
I had to leave my oxy/acet bottles behind in OR when we moved, but have my torch, etc. I've got a 110v Lincoln MIG that I find quite useful. Also a chinese...
Femm aka Kristine, I do not think you're crazy, as I have similar thoughts on the J1B. Cross an SGS 2-33 glider with a J1B, and that is kind of what I want my...
femm, Why a Riblett airfoil instead of a glider airfoil like Eppler? I do have Riblett's book, and that might be an option also. Just curious about your...
Riblett's 30613.5 is a high lift airfoil basically used to replace to Cub USA35B, if you going to use a Riblett glider airfoil look at 40215 series. I...

Thanks for the comments, Jay. My first guess is I will build with wood, but I also reserve the right to change my mind! Last year I ran very crude numbers on...
Femm, thanks for the detailed reply. You might want to see my comments to Jay's post for info on what I am dreaming about. You're not the only nut in this...
Reid: thx, I'll already got something on the books! Again what CAD software do you have? I use Autocad LT for dimensioning, Rhino for 3D design, Hanley Airfoil...
Ried I saw that and think it's a doable thing. The big thing is keep it clean and keep it light. One of the larger drag componit of an aircraft are the...
I see we have drawing for Janowski's J-1B and the J-2, does anyone have drawings for his J-3? Or is it a J-2 with J-1 landing gear? I dug out my J-1B plans...
J3 was a one-off, apparently with no formal drawings. It was operated in Canada for several years and attended OSH. At one time it even had a Porsche engine...
Okay as most of you have figured out I'm a bit on the off kilter side in the way I think.... Over the last couple of weeks I've been trying to work out a two...
Okay, most of you have figured out I'm a bit off kilter in the way I think.... At times. Some say I can think both inside and outside of the box at the same...
A J1 type with an extended nose carrying a canard? Tony F. From: Janowski@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Janowski@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Femm Sent: Friday, 6...
Tony: Didn't we have a photo of a J1-B with a canard? That would help with a long nosed two passenger. I have been toying with the idea of making my J1-B into...
Hey Jerry if you are going to add wing span why not go to 36 feet? The greater aspect ratio helps with your glide ratio and lowers drag. I would move the...
Femm: I am very familiar with aspect ratios being a sailplane pilot. The J1-B has a narrow cord wing at one meter as it is. The largest loads in the strut...
Jerry, with where your at now on your build it would be hard to change directions but for a future model, might want to take the J-2 and add the J-5 wings on...
