    Closest thing to an all metal F1

    What’s the closest O-200’able all metal design to a Formula 1 air racer? Midget / Long Mustang definitely jumps immediately to mind. RV-3 on the big end, though too heavy. The Hummel H5, requires far too many modifications, but has the general shape with a lower canopy. Not trying to build or...

    Murphy Rebel 50%, Prince George B.C. $13,000US or add O-320

    Evening, I have two Rebels, one flying on floats and one part way build that I’ve decided to part with, as a direct result of having the one flying on floats. I’d estimate the build at 50%, and everything but the landing gear appears to be there. The spar / wing inspection hasn’t been done, but...

    CH 701 with Aerovee?

    How would an Aerovee powered CH701 do? Really like the Aerovee engine, and especially, its price. Cheap parts, solid engine, well priced. Sounds perfect for a 701. I understand it's light on thrust however, how will it manage? Not a fan of redrives, except I like the planetary systems, but can't...

    Reverse rotation props (ccw rotation viewed from cockpit)

    Aside from the obvious change in the behaviour of the aircraft in times such as full throttle, which can be easily compensated for by the pilot, any reason not to run a ccw rotating (from pilot's perspective) propeller in a tractor configuration? I want to use my ccw (from pto side, so it...

    Need to find lightweight hydraulic cylinders for retracts

    I'm looking to find a hydraulic cylinder with a ~1" bore and 4"-6" stroke (easy), but it's gotta be light (tougher). All the industrial/standard hydraulics are heavy little buggers. I've looked into pneumatics but with a 1" bore their ~250psi type operating pressure will only give me roughly...

    OK here's a tough one: looking for a 3 blade composite prop for 30hp

    Hi folks, I'm building a customized Hummel Ultracruiser, and love the look of a 3 blade prop. I also live in BC, Canada, and will need a composite, preferably with stainless of nickel leading egdes, due to our rain patterns here. I simply want this plane to be dead on what I'm after as it's...

    Hello from British Columbia

    Hello folks, I'm from British Columbia, Canada, and I'm starting my homebuilt career, well sort of more like getting deeper in it. I've owned a Lazair II and flown many a Rans (several S6's and an S7), I'm starting my first build however, a customized Hummel Ultracruiser. I'll definitely be...
