    Electrical System Clarification

    I'm working through plans and beginning to build parts, to build a 2-place plane that would need to be N-numbered, a RagWing Ragabond. At what point is a plane considered as "having an electrical system"? Basically I'm wondering if having a battery powered points ignition system (4 cylinder VW)...

    Roger Mann Ragabond

    Has anyone here built the 2-place Roger Mann Ragabond, or know anyone who has? I've started building ribs for a MiniMAX. The Roger Mann planes, including the Ragabond use the same airfoil profile, construction and chord as the MiniMAX wing. so....I started dreaming and am thinking a small...

    Plywood Weight Comparison

    I need a few Sq. Ft. of 1/4" plywood for some nose rib doublers and aileron nose rib doublers on the MiniMAX I've started. The material list calls out Fir or Mahogany plywood but I can't find either locally. I don't want to buy a full 4' X 8' sheet of sanded pine plywood (looks really good) but...

    Building a MiniMAX (Again)

    I built a 1100R MiniMAX several years ago. A friend of mine did fly it and then I sold it. My interest in avaiation was a on again, off again sort of deal for the last couple years. So, in a recent urge to build I started cutting and making some small parts for a modified Watson Windwagon. In...

    *****SOLD***** I have a project for sale that is a mixture of Legal Eagle fuselage with MiniMAX wings. I bought the project about a year ago and have worked on it some but have decided I probably am more interested in cars. The wings were apparently built from a MiniMAX kit since there are...

    Tennessee Props?

    I hope to pick up a ultralight project plane tomorrow and from talking to the seller it sounds like the prop that's on it is a Tennessee Prop. From what he has said about running the engine he doesn't think the static RPM is as high as it should or might need to be. He wondered about a possible...

    Bought a 2A042 - Now What?

    I bought a 2A042 from Robert Dingus just a few days ago. Good to meet another HBA member...great guy! He even had the patience to get me to our meeting place which took about 3 phone calls to get through my thick head how to follow his accurate directions. Now the big question, and that is what...

    Removing Fabric - Wood Wing

    I've covered a plane I built but never started with an already covered wing. I'm considering a project which has wings that I would want to recover. I want to totally remove the fabric to repair some known damage as well as do a thorough inspection, sanding, re-varnishing and recovering. I...

    Onan Engine Info

    I know there have been some Onan engines used on ultralights. By the little info I've found it appears that a stripped-down, ready to go on an airplane 20 HP engine might weigh as little as 77 Lbs.. Some specs show pretty high weights which I think might be all the shrouding etc. but did some...

    Fisher FP-101 Specs

    I came across a FP-101 for sale, more or less a project plane with no engine. Hoping to get a few photos from the owner and a bit more info about it, but while I wait I have a couple questions. I have found a lot of specs on the FP-101 and the only engine mentioned is a 277 Rotax. Were there...

    Watson Windwagon

    I realize the Watson Windwagon doesn't really fit in the Ultralight section but it is a small, light airplane so thought it might be OK to post here. I have a set of Watson Windwagon plans and have been thinking it might make a good cold weather project rather than watching TV and going brain...

    Parts Wanted Super Emeraude Plans

    A friend has bought a complete but damaged Super Emeraude. He has a set of plans to use to perform repairs but they're so faded and compromised that they are difficult to read. Plans are available on disc it seems, but he would rather find a good set of printed plans. Anyone who might have a set...

    I keep getting an almost daily e-mail of recent activity on the forum. I'm not very involved in aviation any longer and have tried to unsubscribe from the list but with my limited computer savvy I haven't been able to do so. I thought I had the correct boxes checked/unchecked in my profile and...

    MiniMAX 1100R w/277 Rotax

    I really enjoyed building my MiniMAX. It's basically a 1100 fuselage but being weight conscious and wanting to make legal ultraligh weight, I got the "go ahead" from David at MiniMAX and built the wings to the 1030 plan. Engine is a 277 Rotax with belt reduction and is running a GSC adjustable...

I have all bulkheads made and the MDF form blocks are included. All stick-built rib parts are cut. Misc small brackets and tail ribs are built/formed. 6 - 4'X 4'...
