    Why does the Cub have jury struts?

    Some need jury struts for vibration dampening. Long wings/struts without jury struts can shake themselves apart.

    Crashes in the News - Thread

    One of my buddy's Banner Tow Planes. Why am I posting this? Because for once the news didn't call it a Cessna, or a Crash. Hooray...they didn't over sensationalize! Refreshing. Seems like a successful emergency ditching...probably could have been an emergency landing if the beach wasn't...

    Murphy Maverick?

    Good luck to him. The Murphy is all metal. I believe the plane in the pics is a Merlin...either Macair, or later, Blue Yonder made them. Macair Merlin · The Encyclopedia of Aircraft David C. Eyre

    Ultralight refurbishing project with unknown make/model, help requested

    Hope the project goes great. Front end looks Buccaneer/Aventura. The short tail wheel looks Buccaneer. But another option may be a Carrera. The landplane version of the Buccaneer/later Aventura. Advanced Aeromarine made it, then Keuthan (called theirs the Sabre), then Arnet Pereyra...I...

    Crashes in the News - Thread

    Yeah, that audio was in Blancolirio's vid as well, and others on the tube. 152 simply got run over. Had right of way, in a closed pattern, and still got nailed. Even tried to fly defensively and go around when he saw closure was too fast. Sympathies to all involved. As usual, it was...

    Electric homebuilt aerobatic glider

    Before the Light Sport regs came about, there were some Challenger II long wings that got registered as motorgliders to avoid medical. ex: Aircraft Inquiry

    B-29 Replica Takes Shape

    Fricken awesome. For it's size, I'm surprised they went with 4 engines. Perfect for scale, but it looks smaller than some twins...like it could fly with two firing, two feathered dummies. Also looks like you'd need an effective trim, or ballast, for changing pilot weights, seated so far...

    Britain's Top 10 UGLIEST Aircraft

    Form follows function...and once it is understood what the mission was and what ingenious, if offensive to the eye, solutions they came up with, even the ugliest aircraft can seem elegant. But not all, as some of the video's examples illustrate, mistakes were made. (I'd like that...

    Official FAA policy for a Gyroplane, Helicopter or Rotary Wing Ultralight Vehicle?

    I would prefer to remain happy that they defined ultralights as One-Person Air Vehicles as it is all inclusive. There are Part 103 fixed wings, weight shift, rotary wings, parafoils, multirotors, and envelope craft (balloons and blimps). It's a blessing they didn't bother to differentiate...

    Scrappy’s Landing Gear Wings - Yay or Nay?

    M.P. previously stated that Scrappy was to be his heavy-hauler, long range, long loiter, adventure and search and rescue plane. In an earlier video, he said if he was to build a competition STOL/STOL-Drag plane, he would probably go Electric, and closer to an ultralight.

    AirVenture 2022: Where have all the Ultralights gone?

    Part 103 (advisory circular AC_103-7) included exemptions for 2 seaters for to be used for training purposes. Most rule-breaking, as I recall, was simply giving rides to friends and claiming they were 'training flights'. Egregious? Not really. FAA wrote the LSA rule not to punish those that...

    What would you do with a plane you built, but do not want anymore?

    Norm: If I had a house/workshop/barn I'd be all over that. I always liked your innovative rib design. But the skills in your head and hands are the priceless magic. You've got to pass that on too. As a lifetime apartment-dweller with a lifetime of student loans, I know property will never...
