    Looking for wheel fairing plans

    I need to scratch build some wheel fairings to suit my Titch project. I haven't built anything substantial using composites before so I was wondering if anyone knew of any freely available plans or guides to get me started. I went through the Varieze and Longeze plans but no wheel fairings...

    Overheating 4130 with cut-off wheel?

    I've started cutting out some of my 4130 fittings with a 4" cut-off wheel. I've been going very slowly but unsurprisingly it's a process that creates considerable heat when going through 1/8" 4130. I'm getting some heat discolouration on some of the edges (pictured). Looks like blue...

    Elevator tip mass balance attachment

    My Taylor Titch plans show mass balance tips on the elevator but don't suggest how to attach any potential weights to the spar. I had some ideas about a method but I was wondering if anybody had any real world examples from other wooden aircraft. Corby Starlet perhaps? I've googled around but...

    Just wondering if anyone has a copy of Experimenter Oct/Nov 1988 and could let me know what this article is all about? The full Experimenter back catalogue is supposed to go online soon for EAA members but isn't available quite yet. I'd buy the issues from ebay but postage to my end of the...

    Wings like Graham Lee Nieuport 11 but not a sesquiplane?

    For educational purposes and maybe for adaptation to another design (with plenty of safety number crunching:ban:), I'm looking to purchase some plans that fit the following criteria. I'm not concerned about the rest of the aircraft, just the wings structure. - Construction methods like the...

    Graham Lee Heath Parasol - any info?

    Some old Yahoo Groups info indicate that the plans are a little vague but probably usable. Also that a flying example has never been built from the plans. Does anyone have these plans and have any more feedback? Would also be interesting to know how closely it physically resembles the...

    Are II and IIS wings the same?

    Hi folks. I'm just chipping away at research for a potential build. :o To clarify, if I buy the latest plans are the II and IIS wings the same? If I do start a build then I'd probably do the wings first. That means I could procrastinate a decision between a II and IIS. ::) Thanks in...
