Thanks for that! Sounds like a blast. I'm sorry I won't be at OSH this year to see it. I have a set of the study plans that he used to sell, and every once in a while I take them down off the shelf...

Just saw this thread. Belated congratulations!
Flight report, now that you (hopefully) have some hours on her? I'm particularly interested in how it flies with your direct drive motor.
Another option from Falconar Avia is the Cubmajor. Two seats in tandem, folding wings, all wood except for the center section. It's their version of the Luton Major.

LOL, education and recreation, Hal, education and recreation....
While I understand and respect Thor's position, I find it unfortunate. The Duster is a neat aircraft that still fills a niche, even today. I was one of your group members, and popped in every now and...
These occasionally turn up in the classifieds of Soaring and Sailplane Builder magazines. Wanted ads in same might scare up something. There was an effort a couple of years ago to revive the design...
That looks fantastic! Have fun, and be safe!
This is a totally crazy project, and I mean that in a good way. I love it! Best wishes, sir!

Nice, Matthew!
Fun! This should be a conversation starter in the office. Thanks, Ron!
WACO biplane!
The glider guys will probably tell you that you are just flying the wrong kind of airplane for the conditions. For them, strong mountain wave = serious altitude. They'll put up with a bumpy ride on...
Fun! Thanks for sharing.

Could you please post a photo of your current configuration? It is a bit hard to see from the video. It would be easier for people to evaluate it here, rather than having to try to find it...

The Acey Deucy looks fun. I am glad to hear you are sharing the build with your son, and I hope the two of you have a great time both with the build and with aerial adventures down the road!
Your...
I would like to see these, too. Flight reports are one of my favorite types of articles. Here is an opportunity for people to channel their inner Budd Davisson!
That, my friend, was really good! Thanks for putting that together and sharing with us. I didn't get to go to AirVenture this year, so I really appreciate being able to see such a well-done video....
I really feel for the families involved. I hope there is some comfort in that the pilots were doing something they loved.
As for us, it is a reminder of the debt of gratitude that we all should...
