The seizure of private land by any government entity just plain sucks; especially when offered eeebelow fair market price. While I agree they...

According to the tax records, the current SOS property is owned by the SOS brothers.

We'll support'em just like we've done every year we've gone to Osh -- by buying beer, brats, curds and corn and perhaps a T-shirt or 2.

Agreed!

Anyone who has flown electric RC airplanes can tell you: It may sound different, but the noise varies significantly by motor speed. One could set...

Anyone know an address for the Sosnoski family? I'd like to send them a few bucks to help with their legal expenses. Better yet, do you think...

Personaly, I like the sound of the engine up front, once you get atuned to it, you can hit almost any RPM just by the sound. I've never cared for...

Don't know about an address but they do have a Facebook page. Also, you could check tax records and that will give you the address of the property...

Lets not let this die, guys. That's what EAA is hoping for.

Flying Ron, one thing I do know about it the battle of the Alamo, that you call " a catestropic loss for the Texans". Well the Texans lost every man,...

It's not like there's a scarcity of old Cubs. The Pipistrel kit looks like it would roughly equivalent to 53 HP max takeoff power, 40 continuous. ...

OP is in Canada. Probably falls under their "Owner Maintenance" category. Ron Wanttaja

This is something that would be accomplished under Experimental Exhibition. FSDO can help you with the legalities of that. Not a difficult change...

My apologies...I had been trying to post this to another group, and double-posted it here. Ron Wanttaja

If I don't have to worry about corrosion I am not too worried about it. As much as I would like to repaint the plane, I bought this plane to fly,...

At this point, there are not many "kits" and no STCs. So if you are working with a certificated aircraft then you need to budget as much for FAA...

"so where do I start?" The glib answer would of course be - "With a dump-truck full of money."

Not aware of any such kit.

In fact, it really was "Manassas Junction" if you look at period documents. Note that the naming "convention" isn't universal. For example, I...

Funny thing about that. Manassas was not the nearest town then, in fact it wasn't even a town. It was a railway junction with about four houses and a...

That just opens a whole can of worms regarding any battlefield within 100 miles of where I live!

True... WW2 is a subject we learned not to bring up playing WarBirds which is a world wide interactive air combat game... you picked a 4 digit call...

Like I said, other side of the family. Her parents got out of that environment as early as possible. Two of my wife's grandparents met at a KKK...

The "War of Northern Aggression" wasn't a contemporary name for it. That invention came from the 1950's and has incredibly racist undertones. ...

Heck, even the victors can't always agree. What we call "World War Two," the Russians call "The Great Patriotic War." The War Between the States...

Only if you were a Texian. The US was not involved in the Alamo. It was a battle between the Mexicans and the Republic of Texas. Remember the...

It would be really confusing with the Civil War battlefields. Do naming rights go to the side that won the battle or the entire war?
