Ok, what about the BD5 by
Whome?
Ok, we have roasted the Mini 500, how about the BD5?
First things first, forget the jet. So few people could ever afford such a
thing it hardly seems viable from the get-go. But why has such a popular
design (on paper) found so little success? Thousands of people instantly fell
in love with it...

Which Ultralight to build..... by
WC
OK, was planning on building a Texas Parasol (as you've probably seen from
my previous posts) but it's looking like it may not be a very good design
for a legal 103. That being the case, what design to build. I spent a good
part of my life as a mechanic, can weld steel and aluminum (stick, mig,...

Leon Davis DA-11 by
Rob Fonhof
Hi All.
Just a quick one. Was watching discovery and saw a few aircraft including
the Cri-cri and a DA-11. Both are very small and look like great fun. My
main point of interest is the DA-11. It is a small single seater, with a
cylindrical fuselage, and would you believe a Briggs and Stratton 2...

I Hate Radios by
Ron Wanttaja
When I finally invent a time machine, I'm going to grab a baseball bat and then
go back about 100 years. Mr. Marconi had better watch his step. After nine
years of owning Moonraker, the biggest sources of heartburn has been fighting
the radios.
When I bought the plane, it mounted a Narco Escort...

Lawrance 5 Cyl. Mini-Radial Engines by
Victor Bravo
I have a couple of Lawrance 5 cylinder mini radials. They were used as
the APU electrical generator engine for the B-29 bomber, and perhaps
for other ground power applications. They're about 24-30 inches in
diameter, and weigh 60 or 80 pounds approx.
They are cute as hell, and look like half size...

Building an electronic Angle of Attack indicator by

Has anyone built an electronic angle of attack meter kit. It seems to

What about putting aluminum foil on your antenna? by
John Wier
Doesn't putting aluminum foil on your TV's antenna (rabbit ears) help
reception by catching more rays? So in a composite airplane, with the
antenna inside the fuselage, what about putting some foil on it to
catch radio rays better?
