    Fiberglass finishing

    Hi all. I have a couple wing root covers that came with my plane. One is ready for paint, but the other was taken right out of the mold. Some edges need more hardener, as does the whole part overall. I have never worked with fiberglass. What do I use to build it up so it's stronger and more...

    Need advice, please

    Hi all. Well, I made the almost 800 mile round trip and picked the 3/4 scale Stinson up. The wings need another cost of red coat, then silver and paint. They didn't have the tanks mounted for the trip back and I encountered a LOT of unexpected rain with an open trailer. The wings got drenched...

    When to insure project

    Hi all. I'm new to experimental aircraft building and am wondering at what stage in the build I should (or can) pursue insuring the plane. I have a Loehle P40 kit that is about 75% done, about ready to be covered. What are your experiences with insurance? Thanks.

    Loehle P-40 project progress

    Loehle P40 70% built

    Hello. I have moved onto a different plane so am selling the Loehle only because I don't have room for it. It's about 70% completed, comes with two sets of plans. It has the retractable gear and long-range fuel options. Would cost quite a bit to buy a new kit, and this one has been built...

    any experiences with 620 or 720 rotax?

    Hi all. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with these engines in their aircraft? I'm wondering, like everyone else I imagine, about reliability. Are the mounts and external dimensions the same as with 582's? Thanks everyone. Meant 670, not 620...sorry about that.

    New to Rotax 582's

    Hi all. I'm going to use the recommended 582 for the Loehle P40 I'm building. I'm at the stage where it's time to start shopping for one. I know there are several places to buy them. What should I look for in one? It'll need either a 3.0:1 or 3.47:1 ratio PSRU. Thanks for the guidance/help. -Pete
