    Identity of this light sport biplane

    I've heard mixed accounts of the reliability of the engine.This video here shows a fellow in France who had issues with an example that was mounted on his Nieuport 28 and further problems sending it back to the company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2kJqWpz3rM

    Identity of this light sport biplane

    A video of it titles it as a Mini Racek which looks like a great machine as well https://www.facebook.com/VernerMotor/videos/vb.273456786051031/1636306343099395/?type=2&theater Its a shame that plans for the Platzer Kiebetz isn't available for those in the U.S.As Tiger Tim stated it looks...

    Identity of this light sport biplane

    I've just stumbled upon this video on the Verner radial engines and this interesting biplane is featured in it.I was wondering what the identity of it is and if it is a kitplane or not?It looks very much similar to an Interwar design and such. Thank you

    Possible to locate plans of this Bleriot XI ultralight?

    No problems there.I've e-mailed them and hope to get word soon.I am also pretty keen on their other machines like the Etrich and Aviatik.

    Possible to locate plans of this Bleriot XI ultralight?

    Hello again all!I've stumbled upon this video of this ultralight version of the Bleriot XI.It is said plans are available from the builder but contacting him maybe difficult.It is from Czech Republic and the builder is Václav Vondrášek.I know of the Airdrome kit of the Bleriot but want something...

    How easy is it to build a Curtis Pusher or a Bleriot?

    The Rotec is a fine engine and does its job well but I want something that looks more authentic in appearance but modern.

    How easy is it to build a Curtis Pusher or a Bleriot?

    I imagine an Airdrome Bleriot kit can be made to have some touches to it that are shared from its wooden counterpart.Also I am not too keen on a Rotec radial mounted on and instead would like something that is similar to an Anzani.

    How easy is it to build a Curtis Pusher or a Bleriot?

    Wonderful suggestions and advice here.Just needed a well needed advice from everyone here.I am now fully inclined not to go the original route and instead find more modern means.Airdromes Bleriot is wonderfully more convenient and even the 3/4 scale one I would love to build.I've been meaning to...

    How easy is it to build a Curtis Pusher or a Bleriot?

    Hello again,came to bug for another question.Last time I've asked for if there were plans for Pioneer era aircraft.Links were gratefully turned up with instructions on building a Bleriot XI monoplane and the Curtis Pusher.The instructions for the Curtis look simple with the Bleriot being a...

    Questions on M-M Secondary glider

    Reason for the M-M secondary is out of convenience though if there is any reason to pick others that be fine.I wasn't sure how it performed and was thinking of contacting EAA on the matter.I would love to build a primary type glider with nacelle,mainly for extra aerodynamics and more...

    Questions on M-M Secondary glider

    I just got the 1931 EAA Flying and Glider Manual for the purpose of the plans of the M-M secondary glider.Everything looks good with simple instructions but my question is that the length of the fuselage beams and supports are not stated clearly.Also I would like more detail of the landing gear...

    Any good small 1910's-'20's gliders to build?

    Thank you all very well for more of these suggestions!Cluttonfred I've found the plans on the site and they are wonderfully clear (though working through the metric measurements is a bugger).Though I am heavily considering buying the EAA Flying and Glider manual that has the gliders you've...

    Any good small 1910's-'20's gliders to build?

    Thank you for your suggestions.I am quite interested in the Peyret Tandem glider and the Tcheranovski Bich-01 Parabola.Though I have a feeling plans for those are not available let alone be difficult to figure it out from sight.

    Any good small 1910's-'20's gliders to build?

    The GOAT looks like a nice glider and plans being free can't be beat.I haven't glided before let alone built anything complete.What venues can I procure the tubing from?I can also stretch designs up to the end of the '20s to get more options.The PIG or GOAT are nice though.

    Any good small 1910's-'20's gliders to build?

    Hello all again.I come again to ask another related question pertaining early 20th-century crafts.I'm also interested in gliders and sailplanes.The problem is my garage may not hold a wingspan over 20 feet or so.I am fascinated with gliders from the early 20th-century (up until the 1920's).I...

    Seeking drawings or plans (or kits) of Pioneering aviation aircraft

    The Sky Pup looks like an aircraft I can add to my list to keep in mind.I've actually located a place to get plans of the Wrights glider and kite from WWI Aero Journal.I would love to build one.Though I dare say I don't live where it's as windy to fly the gliders than what the Wrights had.I've...

    Seeking drawings or plans (or kits) of Pioneering aviation aircraft

    Primary glider looks great.I wont exclude gliders or sailplanes from the time so anymore suggestions from that would be great.

    Seeking drawings or plans (or kits) of Pioneering aviation aircraft

    I've had my eye on the Flitzer for some time and would love to do one.I know this is 1920's but I am quite interested in this Czechoslovakian aircraft the BH-1.There's only one reproduction but I am fascinated with it.
