Murphy- No answers to call/Emails/and their facebook is dead. I thought they went out of business. I just got quoted $11,800 for a Maule. That shuts that game down. Now, I don't know what to get. Nothing seems to make sense right now. Nothing is available, or if it is, it is not really what I...

I think Murphy is out of business.

Please explain.

I have flown Moonies, 182s 172s 150s, and a few off ducks in between.

My Wife doesn't like you already. Personally, I think you're hellofa Man. :)

Picking a Plane has got to be the most difficult decision in the world. Airplanes are like Motorcycles, seems like you need more than 1 to do different things in different Situation. There also seems to be a standard progression pattern in Aircraft ownership where someone to buys a Certified AC...

Thank you for your response! Here are things I am hearing. -"This is not a Lycoming, if you want a Lycoming go buy one." - "This is a very light weight high performance engine. Think of it like a Ferrari engine, it needs constant care and attention." - "You must constantly pay attention to your...

Can someone please share the positive aspects of selecting the Jabiru A3300 as an Aircraft power plant?

Please dont take my comments about the CH750 and an insult by any means. Hell, I may even build one. In fairness, I am probably guilty of seeing too many cobbled together. I do like the fact that you can get 3 seats in the 750, but it is really slow. I am also worried that after a 70+k...

Wayne- I am not sure what I am going to do, but I want to do something. The CH750 has me concerned as I have watched too many skins wobble in the prob wash. I feel it would be a great starter plane, but afraid of resale value. IMHO Any VANs hands down are far superior to anything out there, but...

So... Lycomings have failed in flight, Continental's have failed in flight, Rotax has failed in Flight, Corvair has failed in flight, LS engine has failed in flight, Jabiru and so has the Vikings. It seems just about all of them have. What can be done? Perhaps one person is not so savory, but I...

I have been looking at the viking 130. I know a guy that bought one, but lost contact with him and dont know if he ever got his plane flying. I have been trying to find proud owners posting videos and accolades, however, all I see is posting from Viking Engines. I want to hear from customers...

Thank you all!

How does weight and power affect an airplane in regards to choosing an engine for a homebuilt AC? Example, a Lycoming 0-320 is heavier than a Continental O-200, but has more horsepower. Assuming all conditions are the same and engineering was in place, would you gain a greater useful load out...

It doesn’t seem like Kit Builders are long for this world (especially if you drive an RV.) Last night I did a search on all the fatal accidents that were in experimental aircraft. Unfortunately I was reading for quite a while and only went back to June 2011. I didn’t see a way to chart my...
