    LSA 2-place biplane - Sherwood Ranger

    Here's a link to the prior thread on this subject:
    http://tinyurl.com/sherwood-thread

    Just wanted to bring it up again here in case anyone else is interested. I'm building a Sherwood Ranger. 2-place, fuselage & tail is largely riveted aluminum structure with wood in the wings. If you want to find out more:

    My site: http://spoonworld.com
    Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sherwoodbuilders/
    Factory site: http://g-tlac.com

    I'm not selling anything. Just a builder looking to connect with other builders and/or those that just might be interested in finding out more. Also, feel free to jump in if you've got any experiences with the type...

    Would love to get a LSA biplane to the National Biplane Fly In. http://www.nationalbiplaneflyin.com
    Jim Clark, Chairman National Biplane Fly In, www.nationalbiplaneflyin.com. Currently flying: 1929 Waco CSO, 1939 Waco EGC-8, 1946 Piper J-3, 1955 Piper PA22/20, 1956 Beech G35, 1984 Beech A36 & 2001 Vans RV9.
    You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

    After another month or so, thinking, "man, that was a lot of tubes". And "Oh yeah. Now THAT's a lot of tubes..." Only hundreds more tubes to go where that came from...

    Is that all just riveted gussets, no welding?

    Jim, there has been one there for the last two years and hoping for a third if the weather is decent.
