    Needing; Legal Eagle wing rib plans

    Do the iron designs. They’re not expensive and make things much easier. The drawings in the plans are junk and leave too much information unsaid. I didn’t even get a number with my plans.

    Anti-chafe tape on a wood wing

    I believe that Milholland glued the fabric to the ribs.

    For the small plane A&Ps out there

    Im a Bearhawk fan myself but my two cents worth is.........be proficient in what ever you fly, know your limitations, be very aware of density altitude and fly the crap out of it!

    Cheap ultralight wing coverings

    Check out betteraircraftfabric.com and look at Oratex 600. No painting. Glue shrink and fly. Expensive but very durable.

    Corby Starlet Airfoil

    Thank you gentlemen very much. I’ll work on those methods. Ive been trying to use Dan Raymer’s book as well. I did come up with 4.6 degrees with my calculations but that seemed way too much for one of Ribletts airfoils. Of course, this is going to be a ultralight with a 40hp motor.

    Corby Starlet Airfoil

    Thank You BJC for the reply. I understand what incidence angle is. Im trying to figure out an incidence angle for an ultralight that I want to use one of Ribletts airfoils on. Ribletts book has an example in the Aircraft Performance predictions part in the front of his book but I cant understand...

    Kamcoman77, where are you getting your materials from? .....also, to you and all the other responses, thank you for the reply’s and information. I guess I just live in a bad spot for finding engine’s. I wouldn’t mind making my own as long as I can get the parts. I just haven’t been able to...

    The Millholland Designs Legal Eagle Ultralight, Legal Eagle XL and Double Eagle

    BJC , I must not be communicating my thoughts very well. I think all home builders should share their ideas and work together and make flying enjoyable, just like building rc planes with all my friends when I was a kid. What I was getting at is instead of everyone sharing ideas and helping each...

    The Millholland Designs Legal Eagle Ultralight, Legal Eagle XL and Double Eagle

    Where are you finding complete vw engines for less than 5000? Ive looked at Hummel, Great Plains, and one called the javalina in waco tx.

    The Millholland Designs Legal Eagle Ultralight, Legal Eagle XL and Double Eagle

    Sorry for the confusion. I didn’t mean the vw alone was 14000, i was talking about the entire aircraft. My point was every time a home builder comes up with a good idea to make a little plane, someone takes his ideas, makes a “company” and then drives the price up where it makes no sense to use...

    The Millholland Designs Legal Eagle Ultralight, Legal Eagle XL and Double Eagle

    I love the idea of building a Legal Eagle. Matter of fact I almost pulled the trigger on ordering plans two days ago.....that was until I started researching the companies that have taken over the vw engines and charge more for half an engine than the entire vw car that they came out of. It...
