-- Dan Tappan I am about to send for plans and rudder "starter" kit for the CH 601. I would be very interested in talking to anyone flying one. I am thinking about the 6 cyl. Jab for power. I am interested mostly in how it fly's, what it is like in a xwind and...

I know that you can not use an experimental airplane for hire or for a rental or use it for flight training (unless you own the airplane and have an instructor that will fly with you or you use the exemption for transition training), but what would keep you from forming a flying club...

mignet's flea had an aerodynamic problem due to an unpredicted slot effect. this is from a british museum web site.... "Following a series of fatal accidents involving this type the French authorities banned its use in 1936 and wind tunnel tests revealed an aerodynamic flaw that could result in...

Is this easily done - that is, are there islands in between I can hop to? Or do I need big tanks, long range, and a bladder in the cabin (and a pee tube) to do it? Marc Remove nospam to reply privately

http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/03/02/buy-your-own-flying-hovercraft/ The way the pilot flies it's probably a good thing he's selling it. Karl

When I was a lad, in the early 1950's, I saw a magazine article about an unusual aircraft. It was a single place, low wing monoplane with a tricycle undercarriage and, probably, a 60 to 80 h.p. motor. The odd thing is that it was ridden, motorbike fashion by the pilot sitting astride behind a...

Not me! The aircraft. My homebuilt is two years old, never painted, and water spots are showing that won't wash off. I think they are very mild corrosion from desert alkali or something. Anyway, I prefer no paint, but not fancy polish or anything. What would you guys recommend. thanks, tom

To All: A fellow homebuilder spotted a female air-hose quick-connect fitting on a fuel I'd just finished sloshing (riveted aluminum tank) and told me he hadn't bothered to pressure-test his tank since it was gravity feed and he figured just filling it up was enough of a test. He went on to say...
