I may just go with a Rotax because the design seems to be made for one. Do you recommend any places that have overhauled 447's or 503's?

By way of an update, I bought the plans for the Horizon 2 from someone recently. I had already decided to build an affordaplane first, which I think was a good idea just to learn how. I was not...

I spoke to Mr. J-Bird and he's recommending a 440 Kawasaki free air motor for my ultralight. The price is fair and it does sound like a great option.

I wrote recpower and got a quote on the...

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll look into those too. I've got some time, I've figured out the parts with square tubing and am starting on the round tubing parts next. Then I have to figure...

I'm considering the options for the affordaplane engine. I am not adverse to this ending up being registered experimental when I'm all done with it, so while I'd like it to meet Part 103, I'm not...

I think making weight is probably a general issue for all ultralights. 254 lbs isn't much.

I am planning to build one as part 103. I just ordered the aluminum yesterday. I purchased the plans then a set of videos from John Croke and they are very helpful. There are a few more that he...

I was just wondering if anyone here has built or flown an affordaplane? If so, I'd love to ask you some questions.

Thank you. Dennis from U-FLY-IT told me the hand thrown one's took so long to open it was a moot point by the time it got filled, so that's why they went to the ballistic ones.

According to AC103-7, when you include a parachute on an ultralight, you get an additional 24 lbs. Based on the parachute exclusion section of Apendix 4, Sheet 23 of 24, it could be hand deployed or...

Thank you for the ideas. I appreciate it. The leveling ideas were good. I'm an engineer and didnt want to over-do it.

I wanted to start with setting up an area to build a wooden plane and thought the table would probably be the place to start. Any ideas on how to make it so you can level it? Picture or sketches...

I hadn't heard of that guy, but yes, he is hard to watch. They should have named the show SkyNerd.

I bought the Fisher construction DVD's and have started watching them. I'm over half way through the first DVD which is on how to build the wings. It has really helped me to understand how you...

Those 650s look cool as a tailwheel. Zenith has some green one's on their website that are pretty good looking, even for a zenith.

Hi, I have searched, but didnt see much on Fishers. I have a friend who had a Horizon 2, but I only saw it once from across the field before he sold it. Then I sat in a Horizon 1 before the owner...
