In all aero endeavors, I ignore confining myself into barriers like light sport class, ultralight, etc. How about afordable, maintainable wings class. I've...
A Super Cub fits a T hangar well. It has a 36 foot wing and better airfoil than 90 percent of the planes you'll find. The S-Cub as a design idea is challenged...
I'm disappointed but I realize why I never saw the pictures it sounds like you sent previously. There are no attachments forwarded from any of these e-mails...
Just a small correction here. We don't need to be able to take to power wheelchairs, just one and a passenger which requires a usable weight capacity of...
I completely understand your points and I guess I need to track down those movies! Chuckle... Just the idea of the potential failure points makes me nervous. ...
Well, I agree with you to a point. But we still live in a world of government regulations. It would be significantly more convenient and I think most people...
The sportplane category is going to be fairly limiting due to the allowable gross weight and fixed gear requirement. You might be able to get a waiver for a...
According to the Wikipedia article, it sounds like we are talking about a "Touring Motor Glider" which would give us certain advantages here in the US... "In...
That would be very true Brian! I guess I was thinking a 1320 empty weight, not a gross weight! So I guess we should just give up on that. I want an airplane...
Nothing helps paperwork and inspections more than a sound design well maintained. I'm not seeing the controls as being a problem since I was introduced to the...
Mark, could you post some good links to EMC controls and describe stuff you like and don't like? I see it not scary to take hands off controls during long...
Yes it has been. I received your sketches and want to get them scanned in and posted but simply haven't had a chance. I've been quite busy serving my ...
They are concept scetches. You add structure to the width, and you still have a wonderfully roomy cockpit with passing room for the rear place. I guessed the...
Hi Mark. I'm scratchbuilding a plain old very efficient two place with cargo. I have an O-200A2 less new bearings and a few magneto parts. There's a McCauley...
Flat bottom wing Citabrias have low strain, slow landing speeds and very few injuries. I do not like the Decathlon belly airfoil wing. I'd scrap them and...
I'm wondering what happened to the 65 or so legitimate members who were here to learn and share. My scratchbuilt will have some features aiding cargo and...
Walnutbranch, I think we are all still here! At least I am! Chuckle. do tell us about what you've been up to? Lots of pages aren't even better! I have to...
On my front, the engine is almost complete, and I have just about every gadget you could want. Next comes extruded aluminum and covering and building really...
I wanted to send out a special notice to everyone who may not receive other e-mails from the group. Due to problems with spam even though it was supposedly...
