Ethanol in Gasoline is bad stuff, do not use that fuel in any airplane... There are lots of reasons.
You are right with that general concept, no question about it !!! - Its just when looking for advice on how to use a unique and very different product, its better to ask the seller/salesman than to...
Hi,
Our chapter wound up with an extremely new looking Revmaster engine, as far as we know it has been in a garage for years and is essentially new. Its complete with Dual Mag and Starter and Carb...
Those are wonderful airplanes !!! - It would not take much to finish that one... and it has the folding wing feature as well. In France they cover these in Oratex, so they have no need to paint. This...
Hi Matthew;
The Boeing F4B is a downscaled replica, making it affordable; it has a 4 cylinder 4 stroke.
There are only pros to using Oratex fabric as the final finish over a plywood structure; in...
You are correct, it can not crack or flake-off or ringworm. Its a woven cloth made from a very proprietary plastic with 6 coating applied, but they are VERY thin and there are tricks that keep it...

The "hard off field landing" ended in trees and totally destroyed one wing and twisted the fuselage into a pretzel, ripped one gear off; look at the pictures!!! Oratex does not fail from Hard...
I love the Bushflying big time ! For me there is nothing better than to land where there are no tracks and where I have not landed myself yet! Sure living in Alaska makes that very possible!
See...
Yes I would fly with a tear in the Oratex, matter of fact I have done that up to 140knots. Was part of my own testing the product. Oratex has two products, the 600 for Ultralights and the 6000 for...

Hi, The FAA is flat out denying any Field Approvals of any kind of Aircraft Fabric since all the Ceconite STC's were done; "its National Policy" I was told. The USA is about the ONLY meaningful...
