    Would this new engine become your aircraft power?

    80 hp engine approx $10,000 ex tax and shipping at European dealer. I don’t think there is a US dealer yet ,US import taxes may kill its price advantage over Rotax?

    Would this new engine become your aircraft power?

    7 minutes ago I will be using two of these engines on my Seacub twin amphibian. I have experience with their motorcycle engines all good ,they are reckoned to be one of the best engine manufactures in China. Rotax engines are not perfect and they charge too much. The waranty on the Chinese...

    The concept of a flying car will eventually succeed

    I am well aware of the history of the Pennsylvania Dutch people. The question I asked you was what were you flying when you retired because I had never heard of Pennsylvania Dutch airline. I voted to leave Europe as the fascists are getting back in Europe .

    The concept of a flying car will eventually succeed

    The concept of a flying car will eventually succeed

    The pal-v is solution looking for a problem . The Dutch would be better off building boats for when the effects of global warming floods them. Tow a gyro behind your car and takeoff in 50 yards not 180 yards . As a car it’s a 100 hp reliant robin three wheeler, road holding capability zero...

    Seawind 3000 Safety issues

    Have you ever stalled an aeroplane as far as I am concerned stall training includes stalling the aircraft and recovery without spinning the aircraft. Also spin recovery is not possible in some aircraft Seawind is one of them. Why do you think they put a stick shaker on the aircraft its to give...
