    per the Wikipedia page: "The Sigma was first flown in October 1935. It was judged dangerous to fly as it was hard to keep straight during take-offs and had a high landing speed of 138 km/h (86 mph; 75 kn). Its flight characteristics were never fully explored and it never reached its estimated...

    I have built (but yet to fly) a Scale Foam Board Model art from a model kit likely: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/ftfc18-wwii-kalinin-k-12.36322/#post-361501

    3D printed Carbon Fiber Wing Ribs???

    While the industry (Utility Pole) has this tech to pull tow through resin bath, then weave, it is highly specialized in purpose, and not reasonable for the homebuilder IMO. (Though CNCs weren't viable decades ago, and yet, here we are.)

    Can you Point to a source for designing or building with this method? I would like to learn more

    I built an RC model of a modified version of the NASA Prandlt-D design that work extremely well. considering the motor size, I was impressed

    @TurboMan - I fly RC stuff often and am learning to fly GA with a PP. Looking here (this forum) to see if building is for me. (Mike Patey makes it look simple). I think Pilot-34's response (below) sums up why you don't have an answer. If you frame the question parameters tighter it would have...

    Concepts only: Doodles without numbers

    It's hard to see... there are gripping claws tucked up in. good for cargo fly-by snatch and grabs, and alighting on most roof parapet walls. :p @REVAN - have you considered building one as a RC Glider? (3d printed in LW-PLA), looks like a great bird. Also have you looked up the Prandlt-D NASA...

    Lincoln Sport Bi-Plane Plans

    I am going to ask some possibly dumb questions. I want to State first that I am just beginning to look into the build aspect of flying. As such I have not done some detailed homework yet. As I have limited space to start (not uncommon I'm sure). I have wood working knowhow but structural...

    Lincoln Sport Bi-Plane Plans

    My friends great uncle learned to fly with lindburg when home and build and flew this plane. This looks like a fun garage build. Is there an advantage to using traditional materials, or does this look like it might benefit from advanced materials and building technique?

    RC Pilot journeying to a full-scale pilot from NC

    I have notice the price difference, I assume it is because you are inheriting unknown craftsmanship. I agree that personal limits should be within legal mins. thank you for the warning on clubs... I figure it's like timeshares. not always a great fit. Thank you for the advice.

    RC Pilot journeying to a full-scale pilot from NC

    Thanks. I see now that is where people ID what they own or are working on. I designed and built an RC Model of the Luscombe Silvaire for a friend with Childhood Memories. That Plane model Flies GREAT!

    RC Pilot journeying to a full-scale pilot from NC

    That is the Reason I'm training on the 172. it seems a good choice for a family trip. I just don't see me owning one any time soon. :( I have found that the years in the NY area have made me a Sandwich snob. I have just now began to limit my whining to when I'm asked, why I don't order...

    RC Pilot journeying to a full-scale pilot from NC

    So at the moment, my homebuilt goal is to build for myself a kick-around plane. something for me to enjoy flying. at the local airstrip. (there is a strip down the street in Eastover NC.) Funding I know most folks get uncomfortable with money, but I want to know if the funds I have set aside is...
