    EZ FLAP HANDLE. www.ezflaphandle.com/

    Quote BJC "Buy one now, start looking for an airplane to attach to it." I like your way of thinking. I've used that method several times over the years for something I'd like to have. That way you keep focused on your dream and possibilities open up. Perhaps I better start with a tiny plane...

    EZ FLAP HANDLE. www.ezflaphandle.com/

    You guys are funny. I just learned of this product yesterday and thought it was a creative idea. I always had a hard time with manual flaps and looking outside the plane, so if I had a plane, I'd buy one.

    Anybody heard of this product? Looks like a very creative and useful tool for helping manipulate manual flaps. Looks like it would be a very worthwhile purchase and greatly improve safety. Sure looks like you could use the flaps more efficiently and safely, doesn't it...

    GN-1 vs. Pietenpol ??? Also, how big are you AlistairL? Some tall guys have told me they can get in a Piet, but they sure look small to me? They are beautiful planes and turn heads at all the air shows. I really really like the looks of them, plus, the stories and history behind the plane...

    Bmcj, I tried to respond by pm to your message, but your mailbox is full. The 1932 book contains the Pietenpol Air Camper Plans in the article written by Mr Pietenpol. You need a magnifying glass to read them. Amazing that builders actually used these books to build planes. Glad you got the...

    On another forum I belong to unrelated to aviation, a member started a thread offering a free item. He even offered to pay for shipping. The caveat was if you liked it, you could keep it. If not, he asked that you offer it back to another member to use. If you kept it, you agreed to offer...

    I contacted the Southern California man in thread #17 above. He hasn't found anyone to build the SG-38 yet, but is willing to fund the project and provide resources. He has a hangar the builders could use at Hemet-Ryan Airport which looks like it is roughly between Los Angeles and San Diego...

    DFW, TX. Anyone Own or Building or Want to Build SG-38 Glider?

    What are your opinions of the Aerolite 103 vs the Zigolo Mg 12 vs the EMG-6? Since the Zigolo is based on the Sandlin Goat, could you just build the Goat & add an engine, or did Zigolo beef up the structure from the original Goat?

    Anyone here built an ULF-1 ?

    I think it is wonderful that so many people are wanting to build the old gliders. The ULF-1 is a "cool" looking glider. Found this video: http://youtu.be/HafLzEByb20 I especially like the horse being used to tow the glider. They also had shots of it being flown and of the pieces making up...
