    Airplane For Sale KR Airframe $750 Craigslist

    First thing I noticed as well. Sad to say but that is likely a pile of kindling.

    QED II, maybe the ultimate replica

    I was lucky enough to see if fly once. Spectacular. $100k feels about the same as that $1 wood sailing yacht. Cheap purchase price, bank destroying upkeep.

    What are you doing in addition to flying?

We’re so close to the finish line. Some subtle changes to the kitchen. Building a custom zinc range hood...

    The Great FreeCAD Thread

    10/23 Raptor Video

    Hey it’s a VW. No need to remove the bulb. Just put electrical tape over it. From my VW Golf days the check engine light was what kept you company on those long night drives.

    10/23 Raptor Video

    I’m a multi Audi owner and have never been smart enough to buy a better car. The 3.0 liter TDI has a factory installed oil level sensor. In fact the cars equipped with said engines don’t come with dipsticks (sore subject for some). The min-max range on the factory oil level sensor when being...

    Cadet STF plans

    I own a set of Cadet STF plans. I’m sure it’s a pipe dream to build one but someday I’d love to own a Cadet. Is there something you need to know from the plans?
