Ok, it would not be practical for a family flyer - but is anyone currently experimenting with a rubber band powered aircraft? Any websites regarding how much power is available, and for what duration? I found some information on rubber band powered aircraft in the 1800's, but few details. Seems...

Anyone that creates things with their own hands needs to go see The Worlds Fastest Indian. Its the story of an older man from New Zealand that had a dream to compete in the land speed records. It's the best most up lifting movie I've seen in years. Paul

I know that if I scratch 4130 I set up a stress riser. I also know that I can polish out the scratch. Reading about welding, I see the warning not to file a weld, but under at least one circumstance, I don't see the problem. For example, I fill in a hole I'd previously drilled in a tube....

Slightly OT, but since this is the only group I frequent, here goes. My wife and I are making our first trip to Hawaii for a much needed vacation. I have always wanted to fly around Oahu and see Ford Island and other areas by air. My intention is to get checked out in a 152 or 172 and sightsee...

Hey Chuck, drop me a note please? Richard

I'm considering a Nieuport 11 ultralight, and I was wondering if anyone here has flown one, or heard anything about how they fly. Will they fly hands off, or do you constantly have to stay on top of things? Are they easy to ground-loop?

I sometimes cut-n-paste crash victim's names into Google.groups.rec.aviation to see if that person has ever posted here. Too ghoulish? One person's name, about 6 years ago, came up. IIRC, his family was in the plane. With the spate of recent crashes it got me wondering, again: People here...

Okay, I don't know diddly; I've just caught the airplane bug. So, I'm asking... My buddy went out and spent multi tens of thousands of dollars on an airplane engine. Lycoming, I think it was. Seems kinda pricy, but I understand that most of that cost is testing, no iron. I note that there was a...

I want to get airborne with as little building involvement as possible. The cheapest way. And with little maintenance as possible. What are the possibilities? I mean building a gerobee could take years and lots of money and this rotax motors are 'spensive. Building a wooden woodhopper could be...

For some time now, I've been thinking about building a replica of Ben Epps' 1907 monoplane. For those of you not familiar with Georgia aviation, this was the first plane built and flown in the state. Ben's youngest son, Pat Epps, currently owns the big FBO at DeKalb-Peachtree in Atlanta. This page...
