My buddy was just out at a hangar yesterday and looked at the data plate and gave me R&M steels name, I called them yesterday and they gave me a great quote. Now I just have to save the money and I...

If I cant keep the costs to a level where I can make money then I just cant do it. I will never cheap out on materials but I will cheap out on labor, if I have to build the thing myself and it takes...

Thank you so much, I sent them a message so I will see what they say. The door does add some cost and complication but I just want to see if there is a cheaper source for materials otherwise I will...

The codes in my area are interntiona building code 2009 ONLY, they may have updated to 2012 but I don't think so. I don't want to do a ton of research if the building materials are going to cause...

Hello,

Does anyone know where myself and a buddy of mine can source materials to build either a 60x60 or 120x60 commercial hangar. We are looking to build our own forms and put the hangar...

I was just reading an article about carbon fiber 3D printers that are coming out soon. Does anyone know anything about these? Could they be used to build out ribs and other smaller carbon fiber...

Does anyone know if there is a powder coat that is commercially available that cures at ultra low temps (less than 212 F). I am looking to powder coat my magnesium Cleveland 40-78B rims and I am...

I was looking at the laser and it appears the fusalage is carbon fiber but the wings are not so I would have to make the wings myself from the plans. I was thinking about getting a carbon fiber 3D...

Why did they stop making the giles 202 kit, did they make a kit capable of accepting a 540 engine that could reach the level of competition in a red bull air race? Seems like the MX2 and edge 540...

Does anyone know of an aerobatic all carbon fiber kit plane (something that would be identical to say an MX2, edge 540, etc). I would like a kit build so that I can get the repairmans certification...

Yea, I cant die sitting at home in a rocking chair, I will be straping in and firing up as soon as practical. I am sorry that this is all taking so long and that yes I have been part of other...

That is a good point with insurance, I still have not heard back from the insurance guy and I have a good relationship with him as he did my check ride, I am hoping I can get at least liability and...

That is perfect, the air frame prices looked really reasonable as well, after overcomming the hurdle of the expense of an AEIO-580 and a 3 blade prop it wont be too shabby. Still want to start with...

You are correct I made an incorrect statement. My biggest concern is around resale of an aircraft when I want to upgrade, living in an area where people dont buy aerobatic planes. I have had to...

Are the lazers typically AEIO-540 engines? I am guessing the engines are sold separatly which means I could put an AEIO-580 on there instead depending on the cost of the kit for the air frame. That...

I wonder if NTSB does a root cause analysis of these home built crashes where there is a mechanical failure ...... I would wager money that its becasue of the exorbant cost of a factory built...

I totally agree, I have an experienced instructor who has time in a pitts and a giles who has agreed to fly the pitts back with me and train me up in it (he is the one that convinced me to get a...

I am a chemical engineer by disapline so with a little hands on training and supplemental information I think I could do it, that pitts S2B is still for sale so I am pushing to save for that and will...

Hello all,

I have been pushing hard to try to find a nice pitts S2B to buy to fly aerobatics, however I am finding it is really slim pickens on trade a plane and barnstormers for nice clean pitts...
