Anyone have comments or experiences with this French-kit aircraft? "http://www.skyranger.net/page28.html" (English language page) "http://www.greenlandings.com/index.html" (apparently US distributor) Inexpensive and claimed build-time is short. No welding. I'm especially interested because I...

***CAUTION -- SHAMELESS PLUG WARNING *** I've been promising this one for six months -- and we have finally finished the Mustang Suite! We took our most popular suite (it's popular because it's our smallest, cheapest Jacuzzi suite) and loaded it up with new wall paper border, carpeting, window...

Anyone have some suppliers for birch plywood in the Bend, Oregon area? Looking for 1/32", 1/64". Thanks Pat

I am looking for Cox model engines. I prefere the .049 sizes, any condition, ones with medal tanks are best (they can take a beating where-as the plastics just bust), but any and all sized coxes will do. I am building several small 1/2a planes for a group kids and need the...

To all: Does anyone know of any plans or possibility of plans for a 2 passenger sized version of the Mosquito (Wooden) fighter-bomber of WWII fame? :-)

I have a relatively ancient Roland single-pen XY plotter (B-size, or 11" x 17") that has been sitting in the hangar wrapped in plastic for at least 15 years. It was at one time the top of the line and is accurate as you can make the pen line. It uses india-ink pens, and as I recall, you can use a...

Anyone have any info on the lanier paraplane(and the II version)? 20 mph landing speed and a 150 mph cruise seems a lot like the claims on the infomercials for kitchen gadgets. TIA Pat

Hello, This is the first time I have been to this newsgroup. What are the rules regarding mentioning ("advertising") of aircraft-related services? I don't want to offend anyone. Regards, Kevin

Does anyone have a reference that quotes the strength of streamline tubing? A lot of sizes of streamline are no longer made. I'm having to make a substitution and have worked out the strength of the streamline and my substitution in a CAD package. It sure would make me feel better if I had a...

Other than a weight consideration, what concern is there with replacing a typical fuselage tube cluster (all legs in the same geometric plane) with a half circle plate where the slotted end legs are slide onto and then welded? Kind of like a bridge with it's clip angles on I-beams. Then the...

Yep, our very own George Patterson has finally sent in pictures of his Maule... See the Maule, and some cool pix of Oshkosh & the New York Hudson River corridor, at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery_i_-_p.htm . Want pictures of YOUR pride and joy? Send 'em to me...

WOW! I had no idea this thread would be so productive! Here is the list, compiled from all of your posts. As you can see, some are more complete than others. If anyone can add some of the missing information, please do so! For example, some people didn't post what STATE their suggested museum...

Hi, there is a HAL HPT-32 (pistonengined 2 seater trainer light a/c) which, when attempting a stall, does not pitch down correctly. Instead one of the wings (either port or starboard (50/50)... no gyro problems due to engine) almost always drops, and this genreally results in the a/c entering a...

Another cool RV-4 has been added to the Rec.Aviation Rogue's Gallery! See Jim Fleischman's fabulous paint job at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm (You've got to navigate your way to the "F's" to see it...) He's even got working "bomb shackles" on the wings, for dropping flour...

Anyone have a wiring diagram for a Narco Com 11A they could scan and email to me? Cheers Dave Grosvenor

Now that's not nice, Just for your information at age 26, I had 2 children, a house, motor home , 2 new cars and an airplane. Just cause someone doesn't want to spend a lot of money and sets a budget for his recreation tells me he is wise for his years and financially responsible. No way does...

I know I'm only talking $1.50 here, but when I ordered the 2003 AirVenture DVD, the form says $24.99 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. The Dec. 2 charge from EAA is $31.49, even though the form says my credit card will be billed at time of shipment, and it didn't arrive until after Christmas. Did...

What is with this crap that they need to raise 5 million to reopen the Statue of Liberty? Talk about ransom and terrorism and our government is the source again! The park service doesn't make enough with the fees they charge? Talk about seriously ****ing people off. (Including me!) Sorry, had to...

A while back, I posted the result of a cursory look at the accident statistics for aircraft powered by auto engine conversions. It *was* an awful shallow pass, and at the time I promised to look into the issue deeper. I have since obtained the NTSB accident databases for the years 1998,...
