    FAA Registration Backlog?

    On the FAA aircraft registration page, it says they are currently processing paperwork from Sept 8, 2021. Has anyone recently mailed and received their Amateur-Built Registration paperwork? Was your submission somewhat timely or is there actually a 3+ month backlog/wait? Chris

    "Constructive Criticism" and the Destruction of New Startups

    Yes, this could have been worded differently but then it wouldn't have inspired the passionate responses. Most are so quick to defend the Greats who need no defense. The Burt's, the Heintz's, and the Ross'. Their life and accomplishments so easily speak for themselves. I would love to see...

    "Constructive Criticism" and the Destruction of New Startups

    I'm 35, high school grad, 1 year community college. Work background is construction, mostly homes/commercial/industrial in az, ca, sc. And I'm glad you asked that. It ties in well with my point about "civility". On a construction site you will hear things and see things that you literally...

    "Constructive Criticism" and the Destruction of New Startups

    Pretty simple. I hate to read through the posts and see hard working guys like John, Alberto at Risen, Pete at Raptor and all the others take such a beating. Chris

    Don't you guys ever wonder why there's no greats or heads of the industry commenting or contributing on here? Chris

    "Constructive Criticism" and the Destruction of New Startups

    Its unfortunate that my statement about not bashing peoples ideas is equated to the above phrase. Apparently, we have fundamentally different views of whats appropriate and what's not. For example, read through the Synergy threads again and you'll see the the type of "constructive criticism"...

    "Constructive Criticism" and the Destruction of New Startups

    So what's the deal on this site? Its has members that love anything homebuilt. It has moderators. It has a strict anti-attack clause. Yet everytime a new startup or claim comes along, the "constructive criticism" goes through the roof and is sometimes left unchecked. You're forced to fight...

    Who has designed an airplane?

    From a couple sentences, you picked my whole life apart. My personality, my motives, my "revolutionary ideas", my ability to accept criticism, hinted that I'm a child, unprofessional and a fool. A new record for me for sure. I stand by what I said. I know what I meant and it sure isn't any...

    Who has designed an airplane?

    First of all, congrats to all the guys showing their designs on this thread. I hope there's a hundred more. I absolutely love seeing new designs. Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Yeah Peregrin was something. If I could have afforded a rotax 912 at the time, I would hold...

    Who has designed an airplane?

    I learned very early on that the aviation world, especially the home built/experimental world is full of BS. If I wanted to know for sure, I was gonna have to find out for myself. I started building composite structures in my spare time after soccer practice in high school and I've since...

    Who has designed an airplane?

    A lot of what I build is to test an idea or to push myself in an area of fabrication or design, so I've ended up trying a bunch of different stuff. Here's some quick info and pics in order of build. First trike: Rotax 277 on scratchbuilt trke connected to a tandem dream 205 wing. Top speed...

    Who has designed an airplane?

    7 actually......and yes, yes and not always. With almost 11,000 members and the dominating theme throughout this site always gravitating towards design, I expected this thread to have so many more responses....
