I travelled to an airstrip outside of Tucson to visit a Pober builder's plane. Aside from the head hitting the bottom of the wing...

    BeLite Skydock Molds for Sale

    I saw this On Barnstormers this evening and thought it was odd, somehow. It seems not too long ago this was a significant addition to the ELSA mileu, and now the production rights are up for sale? What gives?

If you look at the wing struts you will see there is a fuel tank on each wing, half way up the strut. My plan is to do as...

    Little Wing Autogyro Tail and Rudder
