Gee on top of building a plane and all that goes with it I get the joy of high prices and excessive shipping cost. What more to do to help save aviation this day and age. o_O

Not a thing to do about Home built aircraft

stocked up on rib lace and cost was 49.85 for 400 yds shipping 27.14 and with tax 82.38 total bill. That one kinda hurt.:(

Wild guess for me but I'd say the question of where the cord line would sit in reference to fuselage is a matter of weight forward and aft of the airfoils CG, I don't think it matters much if any if the wing is above the Fuselage or mid wing or low wing. I,m sure there is a ton of mathamatics...

Watched Skyward just now for the first time and I must say it was beyond GREAT movie.

My thoughts on this is how would you protect from moister ? if gear was covered with carbon fiber or fiberglass radius and legs would need to be very flexible and half the impact force would be slamming the glue joints. Don't get me wrong I would love to have wood gear like the one you gave the...

Your right BJC damages had nothing to do with supplier. I have spoken to a fello log member about cost of shipping and he is unhappy with cost but as ACS told me on the phone UPS sets cost and it is out of their control. But it would be nice if supplier had something in contract to help ease the...

My prior order before this last one had 6- 2ftx4ft ply sheets and was damaged by UPS and I took a couple pictures and emailed to ACS and within just a few days I had 6 new sheets without a dime out of pocket. I was very impressed with the supplier but disappointed with UPS. Would be very nice if...

I want to drop in and give a little in site on ordering supplies from companies such as Aircraft Spruce and specialties and the like. I have placed an order to Aircraft Spruce and while filling out the on line order form the shipping was $171.00 and I realized prices are high these days but I...

If its the same Patrick I'm thinking of in Canada with a new saw mill he is a really nice fellow and has much experience with KR-2 aircraft and similar types. This is good news.

Good to see you drop by. I want to share a step I did to my Horizontal stabilizer tips to add strength in case of those dreaded bird strikes or a youngster running a tad bit to close to the tail. As you can see in past pictures that area of the horz stab is next to impossible to cover with ply...

Space the finial frontier. I imagine one offs as in homebuilt fits being she has to fly. We best master the waters first

I was flying near Devils Lake N.D. and have heard of and seen many roads go straight out into the Water and what I found really eerie was farm houses and sheds over half submerged in the lake and some completely under water along with tractors and abandoned cars and trucks. Was flying north up...

Dang Pops that was you ? I waved and jumped as much as I could to say HI. 🤭

Motor is worth that. Not to mention the gear. The turtle deck and dash is a (?) for me Id have to have a pillow to sit on.

TFF. Have you ever flew over a river and could swear it was flowing the other way ? or maybe going by a hill side and you swear the plane is being pulled into the side like a Maginot ? I know many things if not most are optical illusions but what if one day you look down and there is a slue hole...

Yellowhammer is right it would be great to talk about things that just didn't fit.

Hello: My name is Don, and I'm a builder of a Taylor -monoplane and Been flying since I was $hitten yellow on my dads knee. Welcome to HBA.

Took off for a flight and saw something that brings others to mind. Drifted back to the many short cross country trips to and from the field and in the Boredom of the flight I flash back to things seen in the woods and open fields. So my friendly air junkies what can you remember that you never...

Vaughn good to see you arrive safely at the strip. For the majority of aircraft to build. A PPL will be needed to operate so keep focused on that also. WELCOME ABOARD.
