The first question is really simple: Are there any free plans for homebuilt aircraft on the web? It should have an engine and be able to carry a person, apart from that I'm just interested in seeing what's out there, if any... The second question/idea is a bit far out: Are there any "open...

It's also noticably smoother on just the left mag, and everything's smooth on both mags. In flight #3 CHT runs 50 degF hotter than the rest, as well...

Hi Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...
