Not cheap at $15-20K https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/UAV-Drone-V-Twin-92HP-72kg_60748670927.html

So I wonder what the idea is here. Does the V Twin charge up a battery for running the 40KW BLDC motor? Or does the electricity for running the BLDC motor come directly from the V Twin itself?

Maybe it was this one for sale? How many are there in Wisconsin after all? https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1604028-Breezy-True-to-original-plans.html

Yes, you can still lace. However, at the time of the show, one of the big features of the system they were selling at their booth last year was that you don't have to do any rib stitching, etc. In other words, they were claiming their adhesive is strong enough to hold so you can skip the lacing...

Talk with Randy at Rans about the Hipec system. I was interested in using it to cover my plane after I visited their Hipec booth at Oshkosh last year. After talking with Randy though I changed my mind. The biggest caveat is relying solely on an adhesive to keep your fabric attached to your wing...

Just to be clear, the link I shared is not for the usual Simple Green product I think you're referring to, but for something made by Simple Green called "Extreme Aircraft and Precision Cleaner". It is rated as being safe for Aluminum and other metals and all the reviews I've seen so far have...

Has anyone here used this on aluminum parts? It's got good reviews. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VXU7OE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which are better, high or low scores?

Hi Sonex 1517, I take it you know about EAA chapter 431 in Broadhead? A lot of members there know the Pietenpol very well inside and out. Also, another resource for info is the very active Pietenpol group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/154625746626 A lot of members there are very...

What is the ChangAn (1.3 Suzuki) doing sitting in your factory? Are you planning to convert it and use it in an aircraft?

I have never used PPG paints myself. Maybe not the easiest to use, but judging from the quality of the paint jobs on their factory-made planes, I'm sure Kitfox has the best equipment and expertise for using that line of paints.

I have a Rans. They use Stewart's for their factory-made fabric-covered airplanes and a good quality automotive topcoat. Kitfox uses PPG Aeorspace topcoat on their factory-built planes. They look gorgeous from what I've seen at Oshkosh. I'm not sure but I think that's what Rans uses.

For example, this might be of interest.

Your Builders log looks interesting, well thought out and useful. FYI, EAA just came out with a free builder's log too. (Although, it's for members only). https://eaabuilderslog.org/

Looks like the O-100 has some serious competition coming out soon. Here's a Youtube video, (with the same type of cheesy music).

Unfortunately the few videos they have of Pete's "Cracker Jack" running and flying with the Pegasus O-100 has some lame music playing overtop the video. I don't know why they did that. You really can't hear very well the sound of the engine throughout the video. In my opinion, they totally...

Isn't this engine intended to serve as an alternative to the Rotax 503? If we think of it this way, then I could see how it could have many applications for those who fly single seat birds and wish to have a four stroke engine on their airplane instead. For example: Rans S-14 Thatcher CX-4...
