This is the steam car that I have in the works. As you can see it has definate French lines and about the same place in history as the Nieuport. They should...

As my son so often says Dad thinks everything should have a steam engine in it, and he is right I do. They did of course build them as steam as well as...
I have most of the mechanics worked out as I said before I tried for original and those Stanley twin keep wooping my butt. Like the old saying goes if you...
Alright you guys.. You ain't gonna believe this. I've told you before that Robert Baslee, once he gets the bit between his teeth, is a force of nature not to...

I just looked closely at Ted Callahan's BRS hook up on his N11 on the MyKitPlane.com web site. It doesn't show the hookup very good in the pics. Is there...
An interesting question. I will be hoping to attach a BRS 750 to the full size N17 under construction. Should the bRS attach to a cable completely surrounding...

Well, I'll take your word for the rolling the plane off the back of the truck thing. But, I'd rather come down on the gear and let them take as much of the...
The chute is designed to break the fall enough so that survivability is very high. That is: survivability of the pilot, not the plane. Pick the "crumple zone"...
I hit the ground doing 40mph once. It destroyed the plane and hurt real good! Mick ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business...
There's probably a lot of gear that could withstand a controlled 25 mph descent. Dropping down sideways on unknown terrain...good luck! I didn't drop a plane...

GLee says about what you said. The gear will take the impack but you will have to replace it after. That saves the rest of the airplane gordon Home of the Junk...
