I have a set of plans for DR-107 One Design for sale. Blue prints are complete and included is aircraft tag and agreement to built one airplane from this set of plans. Those plans are sold by Aircraft Spruce for $275.00 I believe. So, make me an offer. Thanks.

While recently doing some extended inverted time, practicing rolling out on headings while still trying to maintain altitude, I noted some brake fluid had leaked onto the pedals and got rather slippery. I hadn't noticed this before, as most of my stuff so far has been positive Gs. I'm assuming...

I'm interested in learning to do a zero g manueveur as part of my aerobatics training. I get the idea that this would require certain characteristics from the fuel system, i.e. the fuel still needs to flow into the engine in zero g. Will a standard fuel pump system as provided in aerobatic...

Hi guys, I am thinking a homebuilt aerobatic plane and am asking for your opinion on my idea: The fuselage is of course 4130 steel tubes welded frame. The point is the wing: I am thinking about using exact the same Long-EZ's wings technique, i.e. solid form core+fiber glass cover. Why? Because I...

I own a 1960 Cessna 172 with 2500 hours on the airframe. It is not rated for aerobatic flight, but the positive and negative G loads that it is approved for far exceed the normal G forces associated with a well-executed barrel roll. Has anyone heard of this maneuver being performed in a 1960 172?

I came across two very short videos of a Hind. What do you make of these flight characteristics? Is this normal autorotation for this bird?? http://tinyurl.com/2w7a2t and http://tinyurl.com/3y6vzn

Hi Anyone could help me finding a light cloth helmet for my standard "clark-like" headset ? I have made something efficient but ugly with clips from an old mtb helmet. There are nice leather helmets on the web but often circa $200 which is definitely too much for the thing, and anyway will not...

Could anyone recommend a good aerobatics instructor and/or a good aerobatics school in or near the Houston, Texas area? Thanks in advance, jw

All, I just got a quote for $3300 per year on a 7ECA!!! (from Falcon) I have 250 hours and 50 tailwheel. What am I doing wrong? -- Bob Esser, Ph.D. Electronic Sciences and Technology Division Navy Research Lab Washington, DC

Everybody catch Letterman on 5/20. Jamal Solberg in a Christen Eagle, I believe. Not bad exposure for the sport.

What is the best (forward visibility) two seater aerobatic plane?

Going through the archive of this group, I see several posts about aerobatics at Sussex. One mentions a place called Airbatix, while others mention instructors by name. But these posts weren't recent. Is there any aerobatic training going on in Northern NJ now? I know about Van Sant, but I'm...

Greetings, I'm looking at purchasing a good used Pitts S-1D with "C" wings. I can't imagine why anyone would make this combination but I'm thinking it will keep me on the learning curve for quite some time anyway. I've read the difference between the "C" and "D" wings are an extra set of...

Was just looking over some old brochures, and got to thinking about the Starduster line of biplanes. Anyone have experiences with them? In particular the Acroduster or Super Starduster models. Also, as a fan of aviation history, as well as the newer sport designs, I'm curious which of the two is...

Does anybody knows which song is played during this video? http://users.pandora.be/lange/download/strizhi.mpeg Thx in advance, -- Lange, 666th Black Brigade

What happened to this group? I am a proud owner of a Citabria and look forward to many of the postings.

I have a recently bought Pitts S1-C and I am trying to get its new airworthiness certificate since the one it had became void at the change of ownership. The FAA, however, wants a letter stating that the S1-C is an aerobatic airplane which seems like complete bull to me. I'm wondering where I could...

I just heard that Duane Cole has passed away. Does anyone know the details? Rick Pellicciotti, Memphis, TN

There is an absolutely amazing video at this site: http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/08102703.html Some people around here believe it's a hoax. Does anyone know if this for real. (If it is, it has to qualify as the save of the decade, if not century.) rick
