    Ricks Kicks... aka Rhino musings...

    My latest musing involves a 12 sided circular wing, flat surfaces (including airfoil), tethered launch, and a near vertical landing. I have no clue whether any of this could work, but my inner child says; of course it will with the right wing loading. There's 133sf near as I can tell. The...

    Way outside the box

    I bet someone could take a few ideas and perhaps some parts from existing machines and go fly. For instance, can anybody else see a coaxial helicopter evolve from this? 2016 Multiquip HHNG5 48" Ride-on Power Trowel 35 HP Vanguard Engine Gas bidadoo | eBay How about a lightweight and powerful...

    Health Wealth & Happiness

    Hopefully this will be a thread where stuff that works for one might also work for others. CR recently commented how important vitamin C was for the immune system and I wish to expound on that fact by relaying some history of mine from the mid 70"s. I met a friend of a friend who told me how...

    Float springs a leak...

    I was watching the live feed from Lake Hood seaplane base a couple of days ago for about an hour where the camera was zoomed in on a docked 170/180 listing about 45*. I don't know how they saved it but today it was like nothing happened and was sitting proud by it's own little dock. I would...

    Craigslist

    There's a bunch of stuff applicable to homebuilt aviation on my local Craigslist that stretches roughly a 500 mile radius. I thought I'd start this thread because I ran into a couple of interesting things this morning that may be worth the money...

    roadable daydream

    I'd like to be able to make short trips down the road safely and legally with a cross country flying machine(think Oshkosh from Utah). The differential brake steering and the "small wheeled" trike arrangement would limit the speed significantly for road use, but might help it perform alright as...

    born to race

    I just ran into this nice article about the Pond Racer and Tsunami and thought it might provide a stepping stone to other articles of interest within the Smithsonian Air & Space mag... enjoy History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places | Air & Space Magazine

    contemplating a joined tandem wing

    Lately I've been drawn to variations of this particular theme mainly due to pilot visibility during take off and landing. I thought I'd invite some input before committing to RC. The lower wing would have flaperons, and the upper would be elevons. A full scale amphibian would probably...

    Folding or Feathering Helicopter/Tilt-Rotor Blades

    Moderator Note, from Topaz: I've moved this material to its own thread, as it's drifting well off-topic from the subject of "Folding or Feathering Propellers" from whence it came. ------------------------ I like this idea even better. Might be nice to have a folding blade on a tilt rotor to...
