Hi bjorn, sorry to hear about your experiences with the WL. What are your plans for the kit now. Please contact me if you are interested to sell it. Cheers Darren

Yesterday, as we were once again flying blindly toward unknown weather, Mary and I lamented the fact that we'll never have radar on board our Pathfinder. Too expensive to contemplate. Ditto with the "live uplink" stuff that's just coming on the market. So, I thought, why not adapt a marine radar...

From his website: "Moller International has developed the first and only feasible, personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle the world has ever seen." This is a lie, pure and simple.

Is it the general consensus that Zoom's Aero News Network is not completely trustworthy? It would seem he is just re-posting news he gets from some source. But I wonder if he doesn't "doctor up" the articles himself. If he's doing that, then they should throw him off the internet. I wonder if there...

Jim, you and your company were quite courteous on a prop bolt exchange, so I was gonna order some more mdse. And still hope to, even after this. This morning I tried to order a Concorde battery for a friend's 172, and the snappy lady in Griffin rejected the card, for curious reasons. After a...

A question I've always wanted to ask homebuilders is based on how I can see one could go through the process of building through lots of hard work and dedication - but how do you get yourself to do that first flight? I would think a thousand questions would fill one's mind (ex: did I tighten...

Looking to buy either a Jabiru or Rotax 4 stroke engine. RELIABILITY is the most important factor. Seems like the Jabiru should be better with lower RPM but believe that Rotax have more engines in service and therefore more development time and hence reliability. Any comments welcomed.

Who cares?

I'm looking for some current feedback on overall design and quality of parts. I'm partial to a flying boat vs. float plane. Kits I've been researching to this point a SeaWind 3000 - Not building kits anymore but there projects for sale SeaStar - No new news letters since 2002? SeaStorm Z4 - No...

Hello, is pulsar aircraft still on the business? -- Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬

I have a new late 80's vintage Revmaster 2100D for sale. As received from Revmaster and has never been run, with manual and tuning tips.

The use of the Lycoming 320 engine is at or above the top end of the proposed EAA Light Sport Aircraft category (1,232 lbs max. GW). I assume that the EAA SportPilot/Light Sport Aircraft will be successful, and that it will cause a decrease in the production of slightly heavier aircraft. The...

Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills (our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of flight time over the last 2.5 years. (See:...

I'm interested in a plans-built amphib, and the Coot and Osprey II have attracted my attention. Any thoughts/opinions about one vs the other? On a related issue, I have been underwhelmed by the useful loads of both aircraft...around 450 pounds, more or less. Is there any "conventional wisdom" out...

I have the copy of the CAFE test of Cozy Mk IV canard where it states that swept wings tend to start stalling at the tip rather than the root. This moves the center of lift forward and is a bigger problem for aft CG. While canard planes swept wings typically already have those "vortilon" tabs, has...

I apologize for posting this 'non-home built' question here. But I believe here is where I am most likely to discover the answer. My question involves how the Germans in WWII fired cannon through the propeller hub of V-12 engines. I cannot see how this is accomplished, since to my knowledge there...
