    Bailey Moyes Connie ultralight aircraft

    Didn't Kitplanes or Hot Kits & Homebuilts magazine do an article on the aircraft many years ago ? I specifically remember reading about it. Kevin

    Rotax 582 & 670 coolant hoses...

    I won't be near my engine for another week or so but wanted to order a radiator this weekend. Does anyone know the coolant hose sizes for the Rotax 582 & 670 ? I don't want to order a radiator and the outlets not be the right size for the hoses. From what I've read on the Rotary Wing...

    Change.org: Urge the FAA to Address the Deficit of Ultralight Aircraft Instructors

    My input on this subject will probably sound extremely uneducated to most due to me just calling it like I see it from a redneck's point of view. I've long given up on caring what the FAA & EAA are up to now days.....which generally tends to be nothing good for pilots or businesses. The FAA...

    Victor Bravo.......why the angry reaction ? This Forum is awesome and the members are pretty much on the top shelf with the Mods doing a great job of policing everyone & the threads. As advanced as the sites development is with all the features....wouldn't it be nice to look at a member...

    I would probably be the guilty party on that issue Hot Wings..... I've openly posted & pm'd the Powers That Be several times to think about creating a member directory that would show members in each state/country and what project they are currently working on/flying. It's quite possible that we...

    Are you obtaining information for your own personal library or are you trying to include the information for a public use book ? Call Trikite for MXL info.... Kevin

    How to sell my aircraft...?

    Great input from everyone.....thank you guys so much. I think one of my biggest fears with letting someone fly my aircraft is the rental car theory. Everyone beats on a rental car like a redheaded stepchild....sad but true. I have premonitions of some yahoo beating on my engine & prop to wring...

    How to sell my aircraft...?

    I actually searched through the threads to see if this topic has been discussed before and didn't really find anything other than discussions on liability issues during a sale. Kevin

    How to sell my aircraft...?

    Spring will be rolling around before too long and I'm going to post my Starduster Too for sale once the weather warms up. Flight time is an issue that I'm not sure how to handle with a future potential buyer though. There are several reasons why I won't give rides in my aircraft : 1. Most aren't...

    Movies with Cool Aircraft Featured

    Here's an oldie but a goodie.....THE LAST CHASE. Burgess Meredith in a F-86 chasing Lee Majors in his Porsche. That was the best scene of the movie....Lee looks in his rear view mirror and sees the F-86 tailgating him at 130 mph. Kevin

    Movies with Cool Aircraft Featured

    We've all done things in life that we're not proud of ,so I'll mention the Scaled Composites ARES that was suppose to be a Messershmit 263 in Iron Eagle 3. Don't hold it against me for actually watching that train wreck of a movie. Kevin

    Anyone have a CNC in their shop ?

    My apologies if that reply came off a little harsh.....wasn't my intention. I've just always been the type of person to help others even if it imposes on myself. Sadly,I'm not as far along on this project as I would like to be at this point and I'm trying to make up for lost time by possibly...

    Funny,because I help anyone that asks even if it's an imposition to myself and will continue to do so. Guess we were just raised differently...... Kevin

    Anyone have a CNC in their shop ?

    I work in Louisville........UNFORTUNATELY. And I'm here to yell you......YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE IN THIS STATE....laziness runs rampant around here !!! Any time I need something done....I generally have to go across the bridge to Indiana or cross the state line in another direction. Kevin

    Anyone have a CNC in their shop ?

    I have pretty much any tool that I will ever need in my shop....except a CNC or water jet. It's not a matter of the actual fabrication of the parts....I can fabricate any of them. It's a matter of the sheer quantity of parts that I'm having to fabricate.....there's A LOT of parts in this gyro...

    Anyone have a CNC in their shop ?

    I'm hoping that someone on the Forum has equipment in their shop. I've contacted a few local businesses and they aren't interested in doing any work unless it at least a few $ million $ worth. Have I told everyone how much I hate Kentucky and can't wait to get out of here......?! Can't get...

    Anyone have a CNC in their shop ?

    Does anyone have a CNC machine in their shop that could cut some small pieces out of 4130 sheet & 6061 T6 sheet for me ? Every part of my gyro,so far, has been fabricated by hand and the time consumed in doing it this way is astronomical. I need to speed up my progress if I want to fly this...
