    Fire Extinguisher Systems

    The extinguisher I am using is filled with Halotron since its electronics and aluminum safe.

    Fire Extinguisher Systems

    Odd you should ask this question now. I just designed a very unique under seat fire extinguisher mount for my Cessna 182p. I also have a version for a few other Cessna seats as well as the Tripacer, Maule and RV series. All the mounts I had seen prior required 2 hands to remove the...

    O-100-- interesting new engine

    Sorry for my delayed reply I was out of town at the Lone Pine flyin all weekend. I currently have all the remaining parts and inventory of the O-100 engine in my hangar at KWHP. Pete's son Nick needed to get it out of his garage since he needed the space. My intention was to go through it all...

    "Hiding" the propeller

    There is a Carat in the Watsonville area I believe. You could have a look at how their prop mechanism works. I have the guys contact on my computer at home. Marc

    Fauvel AV-36 and 361 project - comment page

    Hey Hotwings, Have you seen this 3D printed RC AV-36? I am planning to build one and likely the version with the pusher motor. It interesting to see how much up thrust is on the motor but it seems to work. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/fauvel-av-36-3d-printed-rc-plane Marc

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    A friend of mine had one. He fid not like the straight tail boom when landing. Would. Ave been better if it was slightly angled upward after the prop.

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    A small motor in the nose is doable. Maybe briggs 627, EOS paramotor 4 stroke. Or the turbine method has already been done. Or electric motor on the nose with folding prop like the newer self launch ventus setup. For my needs just self launch. No touring unless in rescue mode just to get back...

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    I really thing some modern resurgence of a 1-26 with self launch would be ideal. Im like you I just like bouncing around from thermal to thermal not really into XC but maybe that will change. I use to fly Hangliders just a few miles from KWHP and often there is wave nearby as well. Having s...

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    Looks great. Whatever happened to the Prue designs? Were they actual kits or plans built. Every one I have ever seen looked really good. There is a motorglider Prue on barnstormers unless it finaly sold.

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    Yep that is definitely doable but the Duster and many others have a very low Gross leaving not much more for an average sized (Fat or tall usa) pilot so not much left for batteries. The Turbines are really the lightest option I think that will work with gliders with not much gross left. I...

    Winches, Motorgliders, and Soaring, Oh My!

    The issue with soaring clubs in my area of California is they are in the desert too far away from the Los Angeles area and its a full day or more to fly sailplanes. I use to fly in the 90s with a club and it was a good 1.5hr drive to get out there. By the time I spent the day flying I was in...

    50 HP 5 CYLINDER RADIAL WITH PREDATOR HEAD/CYLINDERS

    If I were gonna build a lightweight 5 cylinder radial with off the shelf cylinders and pistons I would use the Citroen 2CV or Visa engine cylinders and pistons. They are very inexpensive, smaller capacity than a VW, round so they fit the look and they are nikasil. Also I would probably just go...

    Airplane For Sale Slight OT, Sorry, 1956 172 FS

    I think the backup plan is he will be flying a CH-750 Cruzer likely sometime next year since he is very involved in our EAA chapter build with the young eagle kids. But if he sells now it will be a long time without a plane...
