Powered Parachute Plans by MJC
A friend of mine has a power chute made by one of the most respected companies around. Still, he's crashed it 3 times now. If a well designed power chute is a handful, maybe you might want to reconsider making your own from scratch. Those things look innocent, but they _can_ bite you. MJC "Still...

Wing Extensions by Jay
Seems like it might be useful to have removable wing extensions for an experimental. There are times when you want a fast airplane for cross country and you can stand a long runway for the high TO/landing speeds and then there are other times you want the low speed handling for short field, etc. ...

Lancair Legacy Design Flaw? by Gregory Hall
http://www.youngeagles.org/photos/gallery/Monoplanes/LancairLegacy2000.jpg Look at the picture. It's easy to see why the Lancair is dangerous. The horizontal stabilizers appear to be on the too small side. This would result in their stalling before the wing. Then the aircraft would pitch up...

Wittman tailwind by Harry O
From memory, the differences were slight. The wing airfoil was different. The W-10 has a curve on the bottom where the W-8 was flat. I understand that there were 2 or 3 inches of extra width in the fuselage. Also, the W-10 was stressed for larger (Lycoming) engines. I built the airframe for...

Hi Troop.......... The weather forecast for Idaho today is staggering! 107° F in Boise, 108° in Twin Falls and 110° in Mountain Home. Montana is similar with 108° forecast in Helena. Last year, on my way to OSH, I planned my fuel stops to take advantage of autogas availability. I stopped at...

Metal Prop vs. Wood Prop by Larry Smith
I have a wood prop on my Taylorcraft and the GPS says it's slow, at around 65 kts. How about a discussion on the relative merits of wood and aluminum props. I understand that wood is easier on your engine but the aluminum prop is more efficient. Another thing I notice too, especially on...
