    https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1525904-Mazda-Rotary-13B.html?catid=18293 I have seen this advertised before. Does anyone know the story behind it? Is it worth making an offer on?

    Narfi's Scratch Built Zenith 750 Super Duty

    Today I placed the order for my plans. The assembly drawings for the kit are done but they have not finished the blueprints for scratch builders yet.

    anyone know much about this plane? What is the construction and what skill sets needed for a quick build kit? I've read there were early issues that were resolved with some engineering changes, how do you know what those changes were and if they are included or what is needed to do them...

    Trifoils discussion

    Do you have information on the builder? If I followed what you said the sequence went like this: Plane was built . . . The builder donated it to someone he believed would find it a good home . . . The recipient sold it to you unable to transfer registration as he never had...

    An interesting morning.

    Got a call yesterday morning. A 206 has beached across the bay the night before and needed help getting off and back across and out of the water. Apparently the pilot had misjudged distance he needed to make the corner coming into the bay and ran aground at a fairly high speed, though he had...

    Hydroski

    I would like to discuss this further, but do not want to cloud up the Skigull thread. (perhaps a moderator can move the applicable posts here if they feel that is appropriate.)
