This project is based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have considered an air conditioner for this thing, I like it, I'm not very excited about the weight and extra...
Actually, I forgot to add, this plane has very little so called frames or stiffening structures in it. The one pic of the vertical tail spar, this, and the...
If I came out to help, maybe it could be a full time effort (at least for me.) Also, I'd like you to consider adding a refrigerant compressor on one of the ...
I originally got the bug to do this in 1993, and did mostly concept and design work for a couple of years. A lot of that was learning to draw in 3D CAD as...
... algiecompositeaircraft@yahoogroups.com, "algiecompositeaircraft" ... now, ... Looks great. Building the interior frame you described sounds like quite a...
I updated the website with new pics of the rear fuse parts, plus some others as well. Am starting to work on the lower rear fuse now, hopefully this will go...
At the front top of the recently finished fuselage side, there is a Kevlar panel, this is for the GPS antannae to pass through, you can see it on one of the...
I was wondering where the antennae (sp?) will be located? I am under the impression that the carbon fiber is too reflective to place anything inside. I am...
Evan, Hey again. I have been using silicon hose from Earl's, they had some 90 degree hoses in stock, but mainly water hoses in smaller diameters. My approach...
Hey Dave, The plane's coming along nicely. With the tail on now I can get a feel for the smooth lines. I noticed you're using a few silicon hoses in your...
I added some pics of the rear upper fuselage, one of the inner vertical spar detail, and the others of the thing sort of (Taped) installed on the cockpit....
Evan, Thanks. I'm using the stock GM LS1 ECU, but reprogrammed to remove a lot (!) of components that aren't used, for example, all transmission functions,...
Hey Dave, The LP1's looking great! I'm curious. What ECU are you using for the LS1? Stock or something like an Electromotive EFI/Spark controller? -Evan...
The rear upper fuselage/ vertical tail molds are finished and we are presently preparing to lay up the actual carbon/ honeycomb airframe parts. These two...
The LP1 uses an elliptical planform wing, this has an efficency factor of one, the rectangular and tapered planforms are less than this. The airfoil is a...
Just curious what type of wing and fuel system would be employed. With the high performance and smooth composite construction, I would guess some elegant...
We have been working on the rear fuselage/ tail buck for a few months now, we took two molds off these last weekend. The final finish is just about done, we...
Note that the P51 didn't use exhaust energy to scavenge the radiator, we have this as a bonus. The main LP1 design is complete, we will do some testing with...
I've heard of that problem. Supposedly you can actually exceed break- even on drag, and have the heated air/exhaust contribute slightly to the forward motion,...
Hello, How's it going? Thanks for the comments, we're trying here! The major composite parts left, and the order we will probably build them are the upper rear...
Hi David, Just checked in to see how you were doing. Looks great. I see you've started on the rear portion of the plane. The construction technique is amazing....
Ryan, Thanks for your interest in this project. We have been working, lately, on the upper rear fuselage/ vertical tail bucks, we are getting to the point of...
Hello to all, I will attempt to answer all who post here, might make some imformative reading for those choosing to just lurk, no problem. David Algie....
