    What to build?

    Yeah I agree those would be perfect for a project! I’m definitely drawn towards the wood and cloth but man the performance of these composite gliders is amazing. I may have to consider that! Anyone know if the ULF-1 is still being sold? I have a message in but have not heard back.

    What to build?

    Hi everyone I’m looking for a glider to build as a fun project with my son. I’m open to motor gliders like the Xenos but more interested in something that looks more vintage and non powered. A 2 seater would be a plus. Are there good plans out there for something like a 2-33? I really love that...

    I wonder where he got that construction manual? I’m most interested in getting that book and the drawings for the HM160. That is very cool

    Maybe future Sonerai II builder

    Hi everyone, I’m Ryan from Northern Colorado KFNL area. I have been researching lots of aircraft to potentially build as a father son project with my 8 yr old. I have been flying professionally for the airlines and not flown anything GA in nearly 12 years. But very excited to get back to real...

    Interesting old home built

    Hi everyone, I ran across a thread about the flying flea and the Henri Mignet airplanes. i have to admit I am really interested in old airplanes like these that are a little different. I’m happy to see they have a following with many flying today. What other old airplanes are still being...

    SNS-7 9 or 10?

    I’m thinking you’re right there really aren’t many out there? Probably a huge gamble if I were to pursue a kit for a -9. Is really a shame there isn’t a kit of this aircraft with a mtow for 1300lbs and a 2 seater. For some reason I do like the look of these reverse stagger biplanes!

    SNS-7 9 or 10?

    Yes I had seen it on barnstormers and I’m tempted. The smaller your right don’t replace that hyperbipe but I’m intrigued by them. Just can’t really learn anything about the -9 or -10

    SNS-7 9 or 10?

    Anyone have any advice on these kits or thunderbird aviation? I’m wanting to build a kit I think the SNS-7 would be the best fit for my mission. But I could go light for the -9 and I like it also. Saw kitplanes magazine lists a -10 that might be SLSA factory built. Definitely want a 2 seater...

    Hummel Bird

    Thanks yeah light is a must! I’m up in Denver so high density altitude for me. Planning on the aerovee turbo for the project. Just other VW conversions were of interest to me so that’s what got me asking about the Hummel. Really learning about that motor right now.

    Hummel Bird

    But getting a set of the H5 plans would be the ticket! That looks like the best one of the three planes!

    Hummel Bird

    Thanks for the info guys! I have a set of original Hummel bird plans. But I think I’m more on the Sonex with aerovee route for a project! But seeing that Hummel with the big VW had me curious as to what people had done!

    Hummel Bird

    https://www.hummelaircraft.com/hummelbird Here is the link I referenced on the Hummel bird.... it’s saying a half VW but I’m not the expert on this airplane for sure?

    Hummel Bird

    https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8137937 Anyone have any insight into this picture? N number search confirms it’s a Hummel Bird with Volkswagen conversion. But I thought the Hummel Bird only used a half VW didn’t think this looked like the ultra cruiser or the H5? Is it possible to to build...

    Cadet STF plans

    I did see it is offered on their website but there is no part number or way to add it to your cart for check out? I have an email in to them inquiring on availability. On the EAA plane info the plans says it was from the designer and no longer being sold.

    Cadet STF plans

    From what I could figure they were only from the designer who has passed. Maybe I'm missing something?
