    Sandlin Gliders: Builds, mods, flights

    I'm looking forward to seeing this build as it progresses. I've always been interested in the Sandlin designs.

    Seriously Considering Badland Aircraft

    Apologies for not posting the link to the Badlands forum - I wasn't sure if it violated any rules on THIS forum!

    Seriously Considering Badland Aircraft

    Hi there! Kind of surprised to see myself mentioned on this forum! I've been lurking on this forum as of late but hadn't had much to contribute. I am actually currently moderating a different forum dedicated to Badland ULs. I am in the final stages of my build after all this time. My...

    What is your interest and/or experience with homebuilt airplanes?

    Curious to know from people who haven't shared much, what is your interest and/or experience with homebuilt airplanes? For a long time my experience didn't extend much past rubber powered and RC models. I didn't know anyone in the aviation community and had no experience with kit (or plans)...

    Crashes in the News - Thread

    "A Cessna 172 crashed in the Hollywood Hills enroute from Bermuda Dunes (Palm Springs, CA area) to Camarillo, CA. Single occupant, 2/3 of the way through the flight, made an urgent course deviation towards the nearest airport (KVNY), and radar contact was lost. The airplane was found in the...

    Old and bored

    Welcome to the forum! You'll find a lot of knowledgeable folks here to guide you. I'm not one of them. Have you got any pics of the N3 to share? I've always liked them.

    Jon Croke builds Afford A Plane videos

    I really am enjoying this series of videos. Even if most of the processes he covers are relatively basic, I always seem to pick up some tip or trick I wasn't aware of...one good example is using the cleco plyers to hold the cable and thimble when crimping the control cable sleeves. Brilliant...

    Welders

    This was a timely post. I welded up one of the brackets to hold my folded wings yesterday, and was making ugly welds until the last two...I had completely forgot everything I had (barely) learned six months ago! I cleaned up the ugly welds, and made sure they all penetrated enough to keep the...

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    The flaperons have been covered and attached. I think I'm getting better at covering...of course, I'd get the hang of it at the END of the process, but I guess that's how it works. At any rate, one small fold of fabric at the corner that I can likely clean up, but I like the way the end caps I...

    I thought so as well. The swing wing is clever.

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    Wow. Five weeks since my last update. A lot has happened since then. After assembling the jury strut on the left wing, it was time to take the wings back off for covering. I opted to do one at a time, mostly due to limited work space. As it was, the car and plane would typically get rolled...

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    Chris made it back to LA, and he and I were able to fit the other wing. We also managed to attach the flaperons and cables, with a temporary extension. (He took some measurements and will ship the proper fittings.) I also managed to finish the jury strut for the new wing, glue and rivet the...

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    And installed...the mount is nice and solid, but there is a bit of play with the radio itself...sleeving the clip on the radio itself with some inner tube rubber should fix it,. as well as help to damp any vibration. I hopped in to test the "fit", and it's out of the way of my knee, so all good...

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    With the recent rains and some sense of restlessness, it was time to tackle the radio mount. I want something that's not "permanent", should I find a better location for the radio down the line. Nor did I want to drill holes in any other parts. Keep it simple, and make it "reversible". A run...

    Badland F2 - Peer E. - Woodland Hills, CA

    The next thing I decided to tackle was a PTT for my control stick. I had an old generic PTT that I had opened up a long time ago, and was discouraged to find four wires inside, versus the two I was expecting. After "chasing" the wires with an ohm-meter, I couldn’t figure out how I could make it...
