    Taildragger landings

    This really did turn out to be a good thread, didn't it. i am still about as far along as I was on my project as I was before. A Falconar F-11 A. I am still without a tailwheel endorsement, but flying is what you make it. Being a fairly new pilot, I make use of every flying opportunity as a...

    Falconar builders

    Hey, has anyone here built a FalconarAvia design, or do you know anyone who has, or is in process. I am considering building a Falconar F-11A and I have not been able to find any pictures, descriptions anecdotes or discussions about them anywhere on the internet. I would like to see and read as...

    Ohio I have bnot actually started building the plane yet. I have been building up the workspace for a while and plan to buy the first load of materials in the mid-summer. Otherwise, my business eats me up this time of year. Good luck. keep in touch.

    Scarfing

    Scarfing alternatives? I have a set of falconar F-11 A plans in my garage and I plan on starting construction this Summer. I was wondering why scarfing plywood is necessary or preferred to simply butting and gusseting the material. From what I can tell the simplest method of scarfing is tedious...

    Taildragger landings

    From what i have been reading it would seem that the tailwheel airplanes behave much like a tripod airplane when making soft field tkeoffs and landings, with the front wheel held off the ground. the additional rudder control makes that a tricky procedure, but not all that uncomfortable. Would...

    Taildragger landings

    I have heard a little about landing taildraggers, and I am building a taildragger right now, but I do not have the endorsement. Maybe someone can enlighten me a bit about the matter. From what I understand the airplane must be lined up straight with the heading during landing because the center...

    I got the plans for the F-11A a few weeks ago. They seem complete. It is a fairly simple plan. I am getting a few quotes on materials and I should be starting work around the first of the year. See yas R

    Interesting Subaru Site

    Good answer. Thanks. What you have outlined there is a $10,000 project in the engine alone. That is actually not too bad, as afordability goes. A new certified engine can cost quite a bit more than that. That might be the overhaul cost of some mid size engines. I don't know, I have never paid...

    Interesting Subaru Site

    My first notion, as I read this thread, is that the reason I am building an airplane in my garage is because I really love to fly airplanes. Within that are the practical, technical, economic, and even political issues to deal with, but the baseline I begin with is that I need an airplane that I...

    Hi everybody. I just ordered the plans for a Falconar F-11A, which have not arrived, and I am looking forward to starting on it before the first of the year. It's an all wood and fabric design that I picked partly because of the all wood airframe, and because of my comfort level with working...
