How much did the 18/22hp Onan engine weigh? Is a 1/2 VW an acceptable substitute, or is it way too heavy at 85 lbs?

T45 crash in Fort Worth: https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/19/us/plane-crash-lake-worth-texas/index.html

Since you asked questions that start with "Is it legal...", it sounds exactly like you have a need for one. I know a few. They say that for $100 or more per hour, they can answer your questions, same as every other lawyer you're going to find. Otherwise, you're faced with the answers of...

You can get these 2 tone engraving plates and either CNC cut or laser whatever labels you like. We use them (or a similar product) at work to label equipment. https://www.mcmaster.com/engraving-plates/plastic-engraving-plates/ I'm guessing there's a company who will make them for you, don't...

You need to know what scale that 30-40 durometer is in. That could either be gel, a pencil eraser, or a shoe heel hardness depending if it's Shore 00, A, or D scales. While I'm sure it's not gel-soft, either of the other two are possible. What diameter, if there's a hole in the middle, what...

It looks too narrow to be a side-by-side, I'd say a Citabria because of the square fin, but they only have a single mounting point for the gear and that plane has two like a Cub. EDIT: I just looked at some pictures, until now I didn't realize the curved top of the tail on a Cub was all rudder...

It's the "last flown 2 years ago" part that would worry me. Could be ok, could be a maintenance nightmare. Probably priced appropriately for that gamble.

This whole thread is a joke. It should have been titled "Help me get revenge through the FAA", and posted on one of the nastier sections of Reddit. So, so much partial information, many hypotheticals, and repeated efforts to convince that this is some sort of altruistic fraud investigation...

If you want to register a plane as an E-LSA, then there are specific rules about the construction of a kit (and it must be a kit) and no variations in configuration are allowed. If you want to build a plane that meets the LSA limitations and can be flown with a Sport Pilot certificate, but is...

The further away the projection gets from your eye, the more difficult keeping an infinity-focused HUD correctly in view gets. Probably the easiest solutions would be based on one of the augmented reality glasses. (Augmented reality differs from virtual reality in that virtual reality is a...

I'm guessing the "mystery", might exist, might not exist A&P may also be the test pilot from the crashed flight. There's definitely a retribution aspect to this nonsense. Also, no need to break out the old Commodore 64 or Atari 800XL: Zork I: The Great Underground Empire | Play game online!

That's nonsense. Helicopters work by simple Newtonian physics, they continually throw money at the ground until the weight of the money is greater than the weight of the helicopter. Propeller planes throw money at the wings, they only fly if you use enough money and more goes under the wings...

I've been sitting on this one a few days, trying to work out money, time and where to keep it, but wasn't successful. No affiliation, but it looks to be a smoking deal though. https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/avo/d/middletown-mong-sport-biplane-project/7360825864.html

I'm done feeding the troll. Good luck in life, you'll need it.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? This is ridiculous. If you identified that there is a problem with a checklist item, then the plane is grounded until you get it diagnosed and fixed. If you didn't know that, you are clearly not a pilot. This is first day of flight school stuff. It is no where...
