    Another Welcome Aboard. Was in the MSP area for 14 months, and it was interesting. Now in NW FL, USA. Remember the many lakes and the ice fishing houses. Got a float plane rice while I was there - interested, but never went for it. Wish you luck in your plane-building adventures.

    The Recreational Aviation Foundation

    I have also donated to become a member. I get their newsletters; read what interests. They showed up at the local Board of County Commissioners this year to pitch our flying field (2J0).

    Dewey Eldred Flyers Dream

    True enough, Rob (docking with low wings). But you may note that the video showed the pilot and her male companion (how do we know which one was flying?) pulled it up on a wide sandy beech and enjoyed a swell picnic. I have lots of sandy beeches here in NW FL, USA

    Ebay Today

    It said SOLD when I looked at that Bede-5 in Hialeah, Florida. Hope it went to a good, new home - not on a pole, out in the rain like the blue one on the Ozark, Alabama, A&P school campus.

    Hummel Bird

    "...for some reason the tricycle gear mains have axles 1/2" shorter than the taildragger on the plans, so your might be an inch narrower than mine." Like you, 12Notes, I wonder why an axle (presumed from the main gear leg to a nut on the other end) would be a half-inch shorter from conventional...

    Will look over what I have, Mister Peter, and get back to you. Probably "Thin Gruel."

    Experimental Aircraft Oxygen Systems

    Interesting update. Heard in A&P school that medical and aviation "oxygen" are different because of the water in the medical. Had not heard about bubbling oxy for the patients.

    Yet another WWII strange plane the Tachikawa-Kokusai Ta-Gō

    Looks like an HBA-do-able, Bill. Spent some time in Tachikawa in my youth... :) Percy

    Parts For Sale Lightweight metal PA-18 Cub Plans

    Just some printed sales literature and correspondence, I'm afraid. And that is from 30 years ago. LMA does bring out good memories, though. I thought his square, bonded aluminum tube frames were interesting.

    "I will get more information about LM-X5 Cub to you today after work." Mister Peter and Air/Cub Bike: I have some Light Miniature stuff from when Fred was active. I visited him in 1991 and corresponded around that time. Another HBA person is restoring one of his aluminum airframes in England...

    Basic Configuration for a "Safe" airplane

    "Granted I don't have much experience in the Ercoupe. Only about a 1000 miles in one..." Doran Jaffas is my kind of person! "...comments by myself and others on pilot training are not relevant to the intent of this thread. It was about aircraft configuration..." Thank you for the...

    Scattering Ashes?

    Think I'd like a simple boat "drop." Like my parents and younger brother. Supposedly, it was by "Coffin Rock" IIRC.

    RC Pilot journeying to a full-scale pilot from NC

    "coincidence it'll stick together." ??? Confidence ??? Not to worry, Dana. I consulted with a person who's card said they were a "therapit" instead of "therapist." Now I do grant that there are some airplanes that hold together by coincidence... May have owned one or two! You have a good...

    21st century Volksplane?

    "Ahead of their time!!!! " Not exactly, BF. The winners of the "unpleasantness" of 1914-1918 imposed strict limits on what Germany could do in aviation. Jes' saying. Would not mind having any of them in my hangar, though. Percy in NW FL, USA
