    Airbike rudder pedal deflection?

    Wayne modified the plans to make more headroom on the later plans, I have a kit fuselage and I have one I built from scratch, I should have added another inch or so if I would have know how close it is. I’m 6’2” and i won’t be able to wear a helmet!

    Raptor Composite Aircraft

    I’m betting on high pressure fuel pump failure, look up Bosch CP4 lawsuit to see the problems all the OEMs have with them. Plus Peter has the fuel rail pressure jacked to almost double what OEMs tune their engines to. Can live long like that, especially after you add in using jet A instead of...

    Using 3D prints as fabrication templates

    I have also used PLA as a drill template. I also used a template to trace with a plasma cutter for a steel bellcrank.

    What is the best way to Weld up these Holes?

    I asked Jim at the Lincoln welding class about welding old cast aluminum last year. He said a lower frequency worked good on dirty cast. I set my machine to 50hz and it did fine. Do you have a TIG?

    Budget built MiniMax 1100 Ultralight

    I mentioned to our eaa group it was time for me to source some wheels and brakes for my project and someone gave me a worn out set of 600-6 on go cart wheels for free, I just bought a set of go cart front hubs.

    Rotax 503 will this work

    You can use a belt redrive on that, but I would also check for bolt holes where a gearbox can be mounted to the PTO end.

    Budget built MiniMax 1100 Ultralight

    I posted for the first time on the ETLB forum today, it took a while for them to get me signed up. Hoping they can help with a few questions that I have that are TEAM specific . I really need to get busy on my wings soon, looking forward to you documenting the build!

    Junk 0-200 case and jugs

    Wonder if there is a market for the plastic mock ups like this https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pyp-2042 A decent 3D printer could make the fake jugs

    Home built parts value

    I was told I can only have one project at a time... how about putting the ace wing on the LE and go! Or get Henry busy making the ribs for the LE and let him built that one. I know it kind of defeats the purpose of cleaning up! I have a car in half of my garage I need to get gone also, it...

    Help, I'm getting conflicting info from my plans.

    This is my first time scratch building, so I really rely on reading the plans, sometimes the spec may be on another page, I have like 6-8 pages out just for the fuselage. A tape measure, square, and plumb bob got me pretty far this week. And Scrapper, I know the feeling about doing it...

    Help, I'm getting conflicting info from my plans.

    I bought an everlast 256 ac/dc machine, a little overkill for the thin steel tube I have welded so far. But I did weld on 1/2 VW head with it, thats when you need the power (and A/C)

    Help, I'm getting conflicting info from my plans.

    Everything adds up to 90 from the top, the vertical slides into the tail post and it is 90 degrees also. I am going to run with it. I have already run into some dimensions missing, but they were on 1:1 sheet so I just measured it. But so far I'm having fun, I am TIGing everything so far, but...

    Help, I'm getting conflicting info from my plans.

    I am scratch building an Airbike from plans sent by Jordan Lake. I am to the point of just heating and bending up the bottom fuselage. I sort of followed the way Scrapper did it on his legal eagle video, I ran a line from bend to tail and wanted to cut boards at the correct angle to keep the...
