I'm interested in building a Spratt 103, see www.spratt103.com. I like to hear from anyone with specific information about it's flight qualities, based on the actual experience of flying one or observing its flight. About 200 plans have been sold world wide and as it isn't a 10 year build, surely...

I have a friend who bought an airplane in 1962, and he cannot remember the make. It was a white or cream taildragger with tandem seating and a control stick rather than a yoke. It was a high-wing airplane, and it was easy to fly. He bought it when he was 15, for $600, and his only training was...

Does anyone have contact info for J. Reid Howell? I'm trying to find some info on a Capella T-Raptor that I just purchased.

A couple friends and I are planning to build a 1911 Curtiss. We acquired plans from the Curtiss Museum a number of years ago and hope to finally get started soon. While the plans are quite detailed in some ways, there are many things that are not specified. Even the type of wood used is not...

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...

Thought I'd ask for comments before doing something stupid and irreparable to our propeller. We have a Hartzell Q-tip prop on our Glasair. That's the fancy bent over tip that gets all the jokes about the FAA Inspector who grounded a Cheyenne when the propellor first came out. (Looks like the prop...
