    AZUSA wheels and tyres for Legal Eagle XL.

    We have used the DWT Spun aluminum wheels (item 706-04) along with the 4-ply Cheng Shen 13 x 5.00 -6 tires as a replacement for the 11 x 4.00-5 tires on our "irksome" Kasperwings. BMI Karts and OMB Warehouse has been our source in the past. For what it is worth

    Options for legal UL with folding wings using the Hirth F23?

    And, which part of that didn't you like? The Rotax 277 or Kasperwing.com web site?

    Options for legal UL with folding wings using the Hirth F23?

    I saw a Rotax 277 on the Kasperwing.com website. The photo was small, but it looks like it had a cog belt redrive and maybe an electric starter? Not sure if the exhaust was included. Just an FYI and FWIW...

    Cascade Ultralights Kasperwing

    Hello Henryk: Always good to hear from you and to see your input. I always think about the Kasperwing flying and development there in Poland and I miss hearing from Wojciech Monycz. There are several people here in the U.S. who have acquired old Kasperwings, but also people who have decided...

    Cascade Ultralights Kasperwing

    Hello Fred: Are you still looking for any particular information in regards to your Kasperwing purchase? The bolt chart sheet listed in the Technical area of the menu, showing fasteners 1-41 encompasses almost all the hardware. There are, of course, tangs, standoffs/saddles, nico sleeves...

    EAA No Longer Has Free SolidWorks

    Good morning. For what it is worth, I see that Maker Campus is offering a free 'beginner's' course on FreeCad, described below. In this course, we’ll draw household items as we learn the basics of FreeCAD. This means we’ll measure real world components, then work through the process of...

    Large format print - and post

    I just got back from Staples with 3 full size prints, ranging from approximately 32" x 60" down to 18" x 46". Total cost, B-4 tax was $23.81. Could I have sourced a cheaper price? Maybe, but Staples is 2 miles away and the associate running the print area is really, really good at...

    Want Battery Recommendation for Rotax 503

    We have been using Shorai batteries (and their suggested charger) for 5 or 6 years now with 4 ultralights using Rotax 447's and have had very few problems. During the off season, I will put a charge on the batteries about every two months if need be. I feel we have gotten good value for the...

    Supplier/Product question: Redrive

    Yes, you are right...sorry. I figured by now everyone had seen their listing on Ebay, since this supplier told me they had been successfully selling their redrives for 7 years. There really isn't any web page, nor can I find a company name. When I contacted them, it is through their listing...

    Supplier/Product question: Redrive

    Good afternoon: Has anyone ever purchased the redrive this person/company is selling? I have been in contact with them, but can't get the information needed to make an educated decision. It's almost as if my questions are being danced around....or it could just be something lost in...

    The Lightest Starter for Rotax 2-Strokes

    Bebedriver: In looking over the finished M5 product and, based on 35 years of product development, sourcing and costing, the price you are asking for your electric starter assembly is very reasonable (probably on the low end) and you certainly don't need to waste your time trying to justify it...

    The Lightest Starter for Rotax 2-Strokes

    We've updated several of the Rotax 447's installed on our 'pushers' with the GPL electric starter: some retain the pull start option and others didn't. They are simple to install and work fine. They are relatively heavy, a bit expensive perhaps. Out of 5 installed, we've only had one bad...

    Mountain plane

    When was it that you saw the ultralights taking off across the runway? Recently or, say, about 4 or 5 years ago? I may know who that was and what engines they were using.

    Weather Forecast App Recommendation Please

    My vote is for Weather Underground as well. Suggestion: If you depend on wind readings from various weather stations, it might behoove you to check out the setup for those stations you rely on. Some may be able to give accurate readings for one particular wind direction, where other stations...
