    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    Where is this sketch from, please? Is not it the one that is missing here on the Roger's page? I have already tried to reach him out that the 3-view drawing is missing, but have not responded yet. http://rogermann.org/ragwing/designs/ragwing-rw22-tigermoth/

    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    Well, I can calculate the weight and balance. The heavier engine may even help to make the nose of RW22 shorter. It would make it more similar to the original Tiger Moth. Which is good. What I don't know however is, how to calculate how much stronger the fuselage needs to be. At least I assume...

    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    Well the engine is another open point for me. On RagWing webpage 2 stroke engine is shown in the specs. http://rogermann.org/ragwing/designs/ragwing-rw22-tigermoth/ I would love to use Rotax 912 80 HP instead. But it may be too heavy :( What do you think?

    Could you please share the builder's blog link? I have not been able to find any Ragwing Tiger moth builder yet nor builder's log/blog. Thank you.

    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    I am sorry, I don't understand this sentence: "The Ragwing kind of misses the mark to my eye but the rest of their designs seem to do okay." Which Ragwing design that misses the mark did you mean ?

    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    I would like to build from plans but since Fisher R-80 Tiger Moth is available as a kit only, the only other option I know of is RW22. I was curious how does it fly and if the design is actually safe = proven. Regarding the building time, I am sure that 600 hours is optimistic, but its fine.

    Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth experience

    Hi, has anyone any experience (building and/or flying) with a Ragwing RW22 Tiger Moth please? It seems to me, there are not many flying. I like the idea of building a 80% replica of the Tiger Moth :) in 600 hours. Thank you.

    Your opinion on an altimeter ALT20IMF-3 from Falcon Gauges

    Hello. I have an altimeter ALT20IMF-3 from Falcon Gauges at hand that does these 2 strange things. At least to me they are strange. I would like to know you opinion whether I should change the altimeter or it is just fine. 1. The big (longest) arrow is loose a bit and therefore affected by...

    Home build in EASA regulations

    I understand that when in Czech or Slovak one builds an airplane where MTOW < 600kg it is regulated by Light Aircraft Asociation or some other organization chosen by local transport authority. But what if I wanted to build a full scale replica of Nieuport 22 (MTOW = 825kg) from scratch or even...

    Home build in EASA regulations

    Well, CS-VLA and CS-23 is defined by EASA, but a homebuilt where at least 51 % of the fabrication and assembly tasks are performed by an amateur is not regulated by EASA. Why should then such homebuilt (not regulated by EASA) comply with CS-VLA or CS-23 (defined by EASA)?

    Home build in EASA regulations

    Hi everyone. Could anyone explain to me what regulations I need to follow so I can build an aircraft in EU (EASA)? This is my understanding so far. It seems that EASA doesn't regulate aircrafts listed in Annex I of 2018/1139. On the list there are "aircraft, including those supplied in kit...

    Does anybody know what is Isaacs Spitfire's stall speed and stall characteristics? I would like to read a PIREP too. Must be very interesting reading.
