    GX200 External Thrust Bearing

    I wanted to post this idea I had and get some feedback before I start testing. My 185's are not worth rebuilding (probably for the best) and I have decided to go with two GX200's on my Lazair. I have read many posts and saw the You-Tube videos with and with-out the re-drives. I know...

    What did you do on your airplane project today?

    Low Cost Fabric Covering

    Did anyone stick their neck out and answer? Only looking for 40 mph on the tail of a Lazair. Picked up 5 sq.yards in Canada for about $30, no questions asked regarding usage. Thoughts on using for the wings?
