    Available aircraft engines: What's out there in diesels?

    This is a question; I have no current information about what's realistically available for diesel aircraft engines today. Deltahawk and Zoche seem to be in the business of vaporware, and several others seem to have active websites and not much else.

    Formula 1: Electric Version

    In the "Beat Strega" thread, wwalton suggested an electric air racer class based on Formula 1 air racing. This sounds like an interesting idea, if somebody can cough up a decent sized bucket of prize money. I'm thinking that using the Formula 1 rules for inspiration may be a plan: specify a...

    Easy CAD program

    I teach high school, and we just got some 3D printers from a school that failed. For these, we need a 3D design program that's easy to learn (the students have the engineering class once per week) and produces .STL files (or something else that can be turned into G-code to drive the printers.)...

    V-star mass build

    Way back when -- in 1973 or '74, one of the EAA chapters in suburban Chicago (iirc, it was Joliet) was doing a mass build of V-stars. Does anybody remember this? And, as a more generic question, are there any forum members out there who are working on group builds of a kind of aircraft?
