I'm in the process of building a Team Tango (similar to a Glasair IIFG) and have a few thoughts about the landing gear. The earlier kits had fiberglass "legs" and the newer kits have aluminum legs. I flew in a Tango with the aluminum gear and it seemed quite harsh on landing. I know aluminum gear...

The tail dragger I am building shows a closed loop rudder cable system. That is to say both front pedals are joined by a cable that loops around a pulley in front of the control stick on the floor. There are also pedal return springs. Is this extra weight and complexity needed? What is the...

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...

Does the marker beacon antenna HAVE to be the length stated in your manual or can it be scaled down? Reason I ask is I don't have the length available in my fuselage without going over large metallic objects. (Like a oxygen tank or rear tiedown mount.) Thanks for your support. -- Bart D....

I'm starting the fabrication of a new boot cowl for the Champ project. The transponder antenna got wiped off the bottom during the groundloop (no, I didn't do it!), so I gotta get a new one. I've seen the 'bargain' version in AS&S for $22 or so. Are they useful, or should I spend the ~$60 for a...

I've got some .035 4130 that I have to cut elevon ribs from. 2 inch on one end, 3/8ths on the other and about 16" long (each one is a different length). The small end fits against a run of tube, the thick end against the elevon spar. Both ends have to be shaped appropriately. The sides of the...

OK, I've researched this a fair bit and am still hearing two definite different views. One one hand you have those that swear you need toe-out and then on the other you have (among others- these are the few I'm certain about) Cessna 100 series, Huskies, and Pitt's that all are set with slight...
