I may purchase a Valentin Taifun motorglider that landed in the trees. The insurance company sold it as salvage. I looked up N13BH on the FAA site and found this. Certificate Issue Date: None Status: Cert Terminated (I'd assume the salvage dealer requested this because of the...

I have a certificated a/c (rag and steel Tcraft). I'm considering the Superflite I covering system. Since the Superflite system apparently doesn't begin until the 'apply the cloth' stage, I'm free to use any primer. I'd like to use an epoxy primer since I've seen what condensation did to my...

i am considering building a zenith-air stol 701 kit plane which is usually made from riveted aluminum, but instead i would like to build it primarily out of carbon fiber composites. how would such a building strategy affect the airworthiness certification procedure? can someone please describe or...

I know this is a popular question, but I have not seen anyone actually answer it. Can you make a Certified aircraft into a homebuilt? The only response I have gotten is "yes, but with a lot of paperwork." Is there a starting point? Brad

To All: Clearly, it is time for certain members of this squad roon to cease such silliness as may be infringing on their ability to slip the surley. One refrain that is a virtual constant from any home-builder Down Under when communicating to the same who happens to be Up Over is an absolute...

Quick question, and I know that someone here will know the answer: How much runway is needed to get a (relatively) empty 182 off the ground? I am thinking one pilot, 45 minutes of fuel, and 1000 MSL. Grass. I once saw an Iowa State Trooper land a State 182 on concrete, little wind, in less than...

Group: I'm in the market for an older Cessna 182. Preferably with low or mid-time engine and prop, STOL, Clevelands, one- piece windshield, decent radios and encoding transponder. Paint and interior not that important. Anyone out there looking to sell, or know of one?

On the cover of the May 13th 2016 Wall Street Journal is a picture of a Cessna 210 it shows retractable gear and strutted wings.

Q: Will the new Cessna LSA have a factory installed ballistic recovery parachute option? Yes or No. Let me know your gut feeling. I want to see if group intelligence theory works. Thanks in advance! Skyman1957

This is a very lengthy but worth reading post. For the purposes of possibly saving someone's life or at least preventing serious injury to their wallets, I am posting below the text of an e-mail I sent recently to someone who had advertised a Cessna in the San Diego area. I was looking for a super...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2461396034 The auction ends this MONDAY (tomorrow) at about 8AM. My first set of Cessna landing gear legs (possibly for an L-19, 180, 170) have met the reserve of $300. So, early tomorrow morning the auction WILL have a successful...

AVWEB just reported: SKYCATCHER PROTOTYPE CRASHES Federal investigators are on their way to Douglass, Kansas to investigate the crash of a Cessna Skycatcher LSA prototype Thursday. The pilot of the test aircraft was able to parachute to safety and was reportedly taken to hospital with minor...

Greetings again, airport bums, homebuilders, restorers and tinkerers. My sale of treasures and parts continues on ebay, this time around I am selling two sets of Cessna landing gears and a new Wag Aero J-3 Cub forward seat sling. One set of the landing gears is from a Cessna 170 (170B I...

These are the most wonderfully engineered oleo struts in the world. They are easy to rebuild and easy to service. Filling one with 5606 hydraulic fluid, however, is not best done by the book. You slip a tube which fits tightly over the schrader (with the stem removed) and the other end of the...

I have decided to use a set of Cessna 150 wheels on the Pegazair project. I am using the Cessna bolt on axles instead of the welded in Chrome Moly tube, and am having a bit of trouble figuring out one small detail.... The axle is considerably longer than the width og the wheel. I suspect I need a...

Anyone here know of somebody that might be interested in buying a couple of voodoo engines?I know this is an unusual question for this group,but I've been following posts here for a while and I think this group is probably the most diverse group of aviation buffs to be found. A local group has two...

Can somebody supply me with the actual CG range for Cubs such as J3 and then super cubs with and without flaps? I had this info and have lost it. thanks in advance

would like to let you know that there is a new Challenger forum online where people like me (just getting into the ultralight scene after flying Cessnas, Cherokees and Mooneys) can post questions regarding these ultralights. There are different forums categories, I setup some that I thought would...
