Curtiss Pusher Model D by

Schweiss bi-fold hangar door seal design by
[email protected]
The rubber seal Schweiss uses doesn't last. After 3 years, mine had succumbed to dun damage. Rather than buying another rubber seal from Schweiss, I ordered enough "Umbrella" fabric to make a 48' strip doubled loop and used 1" foam pipe insulators from Lowes to fill it.
It has lasted 10 years so...

"Lippsing" a Q-tip propeller by
MP[_2_]
Thought I'd ask for comments before doing something stupid and irreparable
to our propeller.

Wondering why the price of a set of Flying wires for most HB Bi Planes cost

Tail wheel question by
[email protected]
This is not just an idea, this is a fact!!
Airplanes normally have a nose wheel and main gear. The rudder or pedals control the direction of the nose wheel in ground taxi, take off and landing maneuvers then the direction of the plane! but tail wheel configuration is far away different. Look for...
