Rotax vs. Jabiru by
Cal Vanize
As I continue to research, the Zodiac XL and the Sonex are on the short
list. Both offer a couple of engine options including Rotax 912
(variations) and the Jabiru 3300. Real-world performance doesn't seem
like it would be that much different, at least on paper.
I hope this isn't a religious...

tom pettit
Okay, I don't want to pay the fuel bill on a monster engine. I do want to
go fast. What kit or plans homebuilt will go 200 mph on 100 hp?

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

King KMA 20 TSO Audio Input by

Continuing the ongoing saga of my avionics repairs, I took my plane away
from the shop - they broke my ADF and I have now bought a King KR 86 ADF
which someone else is installing. Right now we are stalled though as he
doesn't have a schematic for my King KMA 20 TSO audio panel and we need
either a...

get as a response to this post, but here goes:

country travel (from South Dakota to Idaho, so it would involve flying
over the Rockies). Maybe a Dyke Delta, but...

Aircraft Spruce Rant by

I have now been working on my project almost ten years and generally
Aircraft Spruce and Specialty has been the benefactor. Their website now
states that orders placed before 3:00 PM will ship the same day. This is

Electric motor for hang glider by

I have been trying to do some calculations of how much battery power
would be needed to keep a hang glider flying level. With some help I
arrived at about 1 or 2 kW (a few horse power) for a typical hang
glider with 10:1 glide ratio and 180 pound (80 kg) pilot. As a
comparison, gasoline engines...

BMW engine aircraft suitable? by
Ralf Mueller
just read about the new BMW S 1000 RR bike. The complete engine assembly
is less than 60 KG. Engine puts out 193HP (112 Nm, 12,000rpm). Wouldn't
that one (slightly detuned) make a nice SLA powerplant ;-))
