I've never used AutoCAD products, but I found Sketchup to be miserable and very limited. Solidworks is pretty similar to most of the other powerful solid modeling software out there: CATIA,...
I'm very happy with how the rule turned out and look forward to taking advantage of it in the future. It would be nice if you didn't need that one-time vist to an AME for a 3rd class, and I'm not...
I got the airfoil coordinates off the UIUC Airfoil Data site: http://m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/ads/coord_database.html#N
Then I opened the .dat file in excel and scaled it with the chord of the...
I know this is nowhere near as complete as the Pitts, above, but it's a start. I'm new to Solidworks, but not 3d modeling. Right now, I'm just inputting a set of plans as drawn and will later go back...
Rather than fipping a coin to decide which to join, go to each. See what people are building and how friendly they are towards you. All chapters have different personalities. See which is a better...
I share the controls with anyone in the right seat and am thrilled when they do the same for me. I've gotten to fly a few cool aircraft that way too: bonanza, jodel, and Pa-12. Why not let others...

I tried Googling each plane and the builder, but was only able to find photos of some of them.
I haven't been an EAA member in a few years, but after hearing this announcement today I renewed my membership as soon as I got home from work. Solidworks is currently downloading on my computer.

Just saw this video and had the same thought. I give Airbus a lot of credit for making that video.
It's a little harder to track the origins of Airbus, but hopefully Boeing will respond in...

2) RAF 2000

Then there was the Skycatcher. Cessna has two prototypes crash during spin testing. They still followed through with that project.
Congrats. Good to hear the weather finally cooperated. That was quite possibly the most delayed checkride ever.
Also, check out the canard zone forum: http://www.canardzone.com/forum/
It went offline a few years back, but recently got up and running again. All the old posts are still there, and they may...
[QUOTE=Frank Giger;43714]Think about it the other way - an airport manager may decide that it is more profitable to rent hangars as storage facilities (and it would be)[QUOTE]
Maybe some places,...
I am surprised that there is no talk on here about the news that the FAA does not consider building an airplane to be "aeronautical activity". Surely the members of EAA must have opinions on this.

Awesome guys at Andover. I got my tailwheel endorsement there and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone. I only did one flight in the Stearman with them, and that was...
You're not required to say anything and I know plenty of pilots that do just that.
My parents took me to a local airport when I was really little to watch planes. After that I kept drawing planes (some you couldn't tell were planes, but what do you expect from a little kid?) when I...
I'd also like to point out that right now there are a handful of planes on Barnstormers for under $10,000 including a Fisher 404, Fisher Horizon, Smith Miniplane, Quicksilver, Titan Tornado, Baby...
Build the ultralight and register it as E-AB. Then you can fly it as a sport pilot and log the hours towards other certificates.
Life is full of choices and everyone gets to make their own....
low aspect ratio aerodynamics gets pretty interesting pretty quickly. For starters, stall angle of attack increases as aspect ratio decreases.

There is a missing man in Connectict. The state agencies haven't been much help in the search, and the family has been reaching out where ever possible. The weather has been bad in the area recently,...
