As my research continues, I have been investigating possible engines for a 601XL. The Corvair engines looked like a good candidate. The reports seemed very good and the engine was surprisingly inexpensive for initial purchase and long-term maintenance. The stated expected TBO is 1500 hours and...

I recently purchased an incomplete MFI-9HB project plane. It was started sometime in the 1980s or 90s. Close to 85% done. Don't have all the drawings but enough I think to finish it. The plane was almost entirely pulled riveted. Looking for anyone that may have working knowledge of a kit version...

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 bull****. I ordered two gallons of UV smooth prime on Saturday and for some...

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...

What are the details surrounding this ?

I have an ivo that has 600 hours on it. I just had a rock go through one blade. It didn't hurt it much I think I made it worse by digging it out a little too much. I'm going to apoxy it and use proptape to fix it and I would fly it anywhere anytime. Very good props and the story behind the company...

Howdy, I would like to build one of these, but I'm a big fella. 6'2, 250#. I require more useful load. I am generally from the school of "Don't mess with a good thing", and would like a well proven design, with a relatively low build time. I have looked far and wide, and what I want is a Piet,...
