    Scratch Built Composite Spitfire

    That is awesome, are you basing your build from original drawings and adapting as needed or did you make your own drawings for the tub structure, carbon fibre, etc.

    Fairchild Super 71

    This year I spend about 7 months in Winnipeg for work, while there I had the opportunity to check out the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada. A lot of amazing aircraft that are in limited supply around the world are examples there, one of which was the Fairchild Super 71 designed by famed...

    Tucano Replica

    Last time I talked to the company through email (~2 years ago) they were working on updating the Hurricane kit. Their main focus is on the Tucano as there is more of a market for it. I’m just catching up on the forums here to see the development of all the projects as it’s been awhile. With that...

    Engine identification

    The data plate is missing off the engine so pulling the spark plug and rotating the crank may be the only way to check piston stroke.

    Engine identification

    I was told it will need a rebuild. Bores he said are good, I'm able to rotate the crank by hand by turning the gear reduction plate so it's not seized. I thought all 582's are dual ignition. I was told it may be a 532, or a 470 as well

    I recently purchased a Graham lee nieuport 12 project, it came with the engine attached in the photos. Can anyone help me identify what Rotax this actually is. Single ignition and was told the carbs are Bing carbs. Thanks

    Workshop Layout

    I see that my videos from my phone did not upload so when I get home I will take pictures of the 4 quadrants in the building. I did a big clean-out over the weekend and am putting everything back in. You'll see in the photos a general layout of some items as workbenches will still need to be made

    Workshop Layout

    The life expectancy is supposed to be 8-10yrs but to be honest I'll be happy to have 5yrs before recover and will go to a better material or change it to tin. It's a single truss building so not much weight can be added. It's a stop gap until I build the actual shop around the fabric building...
