Spammers usually use easy to apply for names and don't usually have valid return emails. Removing the message afterit's posted isn't enough. The poster can...
Mark, No the CFI does not operate the radios or any other controls. For the most part I'm flying the plane as independently as any "regular" student pilot...
Kim, * How much did the Ercoupe cost you? * Obviously you must have a pretty handy friend to help you make the modifications? * How were you able to get the...
I thought about it a long time ago. Different wheelchair people are going to need or want different planes with different roles, flying characteristics, and...
You're absolutely right on all of these accounts. Of course it's impossible to design something unique for each person so you try to weigh the benefits and...
Mark.. I'm just back from flying and I'm pretty excited. I actually did a landing on my own today (8.9 hours total time since beginning training). The CFI...
Xplane is something I would definitely like to do but couldn't find anyone to create either. Plus I think there might be a few factors lacking such as the...
Is anyone in the group familiar with Xplane? _____ From: wheelchair_plane@yahoogroups.com [mailto:wheelchair_plane@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Felling ...
Mark... X Plane has a number of "airfoils" available "off-the shelf" and a sophisticated "Airfoil Maker" file as part of the program. It's the perfect way to...
Actually, if you're scratchbuilding, you can design planes very individually. Your definition of paraplegic leaves a huge amount of leeway to not only...
.and the victims is us, because the potential spammers are not stopped at the door. This is the same jerks who bother all the other Yahoo aero groups. Body...
Thank you for your response and thoughts! I hope like my response isn't discounting them, but I wanted to clarify for anyone who believes the design is not...
I periodically listen to public radio, but what do you mean by grab the foundations? The Dream Tundra is a very nice aircraft for its intended application. We...
I've been watching the group for awhile now. I'm not in a chair so I don't have a real appreciation for all of the limitations that have to be dealt with but I...
That's great Kim! I will get a link posted on my website. Be sure to add a link to the "links" section of the wheelchair plane group! Ican tell you it made...
Contributing foundations are announced usually at the end of public radio and TV shows. If a foundation's mission fits the wheelchair plane project, send a...
Agreed. I looked at the picture and it is a curious looking thing! If it was something that worked well it see it on more planes. Understood now what you...
Mark, this is a good time to realise your research group is already here. Let's keep tossing in the questions and answers, pictures, and ideas, and get your...
Your fuselage, dummy! The reason the engine and prop can go on the front is the center of the prop is mounted hugh, especially on Continentals and Howells....
I completely agree! Please let me know what you have in mind in more detail? Maybe it would be better or easier to just chat on the phone? At least we could...
Some details can go right here. A transport plane usually has a dumpy low flattened bottom, several sets of landing gear and no really novel technologies. in...
Radio Control planes lack the proper trimming responses during landings because either the servos are too slow or the flyer lacks the perspective, skill or...
Walt Good, a modeler, designed the Rudder Bug sixty year ago. The model had a dysfunctional radio and escapement, a high placed Forster 29 engine in the nose,...
Your local airport and destinations are likely dominated with T hangars and tiedowns. Big (barn) hangars are chiefly for the FBO, big stuff, airport owners...
