I usually blame the dog.
I appreciate the continued interest guys! As for the aileron issue..., well, I've sort of learned to live with it. From what I/we can determine, the "ratio" of aileron movement to stick movement is...
1. Pober Junior Ace
2. Piper Tri Pacer
3. Taylor craft BC 12D
Here's an idea. Get a piece of tattered cardboard and write (scrawl) your request for money on it ( make sure to scrawl "gawd bless" on the bottom). Assemble an appropriate panhandling..., I mean...
Also known as the "Uncle Adolph Propaganda Trophy Trail Special".
Good to have another 'vair in the air. I've got 175 hours on mine (actually Jake Jaks Pober Jr Ace) and its a strong, reliable powerplant.
I've given the plans away.
Thanks!
So what I'm supposed to believe is parents have bought thousands of "drones" for their kids? Really? How did an RC plane become a drone? Just because some moron on a news show says "drone" because...
This is sad. Shame on EAA. The FAR's and previous EAA policy/procedures were quite adequate to give rides. Oh well, I didn't give many rides so going from "some to none" won't matter.
Bill Clinton said that too.
Aeroschmitz, I'll try to remember your advice-while I'm flying my Taylorcraft- which will still be flying faster, farther and, less expensively than a two cycle snowmobile engined lawnchair ever will.
That's it Cub Builder!!! Thanks, I remember now. I pulled it to install a slick and secondary electronic ignition when I went to dual plug heads.
Thanks again,

Here's a couple more pics Ron. It's definitely the ignition, the trigger assembly or something. I can't remember exactly. The leads are like 18ga-22ga so it's not producing power. I do remember they...
This a little embarrassing but, can somebody remind me what kind of ignition this is? I pulled it off my Sonerai many beers ago and have forgotten its name etc. Thanks
What we really need is legislation requiring all aircraft windows to be "blacked out" to prevent any external viewing at all. Aircraft will be required to be equipped with avionics allowing flight...
Harbor Freight Tools-"132lb capacity Roller Stand". $13.99. Free shipping if you buy enough other junk to go with it!
You can do your BFR solo.
If the ability to pass a medical exam is a concern circumventing it by flying U/L or sport pilot is not advisable-or legal. However, both are great activities if you're just trying to keep things...
Unfortunaley what you're asking the FAA to do is certify an airplane that was flown without an airworthiness cert. How your question needs to be phrased is "can I use my ultralight parts to build a...
I agree with Sheepdog, proper application is critical. If an engine isn't spec'd right, it won't work right. As for the crank issue, the few failures that have occured are in the little, fast, quick...
The GoPro stabilizes really well too. My buddy lets me use his occasionally and it works great.
I've got about 80 hours behind a corvair now-and counting. It's in my (Jake Jaks) Pober Junior Ace. It's got the power to haul the 830lb airplane, two dudes, flight stuff, lunch and, 18 gallons of...
Aaron, you are correct sir. Gas and Tig form a nice big HAZ which allows stress relief and also allows the material to normalize (gas is better). You also don't get the embrittlement that occurs with...
I'm with Mike on this subject. MIG is a production process and is used for speed not strength. It can be used, but you'd need to verify the process and do lots of samples for DT/NDT to be sure your...
I'm selling my Kitfox II $15,000. Current condition inspection (Done 8/22/13). Currently flying and ready to fly, or trailer, home. Kitfox III wings for increased gross. Great running, great...
