    Anyone know of an LOM 132 for sale?

    Hi folks, looking for a LOM 132 (120hp) to complete a project. I've contacted LOM Praha and they only seem interested in selling new manufactured engines....which arent in production until 2018. So I'm hoping to find one that's already in the western hemisphere. Know anybody who has one?

    Great Lakes 2T (back in 2005)

    Restored this 175hp Ranger powered Great Lakes in 2005, flew her for a few years and sold her to Pioneer Flight Museum in 2008 super fun plane to fly, but had to sell the old gal to pay bills and be a grown up dammit ;-)

    Between-the-war aircraft replicas

    TFF if I remember correctly there have been 2-3 that flew after the prototype. One was a BFC-2 style with a 275 Jake where the engine broke off during a hard landing, another in OH or IN with the Crate Chevy and I believe one down in Florida as well. To answer your other question, the plans were...

    Between-the-war aircraft replicas

    TFF, the wing ribs were to be offered as a kit through a laser cutting outfit on the west coast somewhere. All four wings are tapered so my assumption is Mr Sauser wanted uniformly made ribs, and judging by how quickly the family distanced themselve from the design after he passed away I'm...

    Between-the-war aircraft replicas

    Don Sauser built that P6E and offered plans. I've owned two sets and still have one left. Lack of wing rib drawings kinda orphaned that design

    Yak UT-1

    Thanks Ir27. The Taylor Monoplane kinda has that same boxy fuselage and tail to it, but so much smaller and rated for teeny-tiny engines. I think the Shvetsov on the UT-1 was 110-125hp?

    Yak UT-1

    Howdy FritzW I guess the closest I've found to a naked fuselage pic is a partially burned out one in Russia with a buncha Germans looking at it. Newsprint quality photograph, but near as I can tell it's a wire-braced steel tube fuselage, but I'm more wondering about the wing. The Yak UT-2 (two...

    Yak UT-1

    Hi all! New to the forum, not new to aviation or old planes...and was wondering if anybody had any info on these kinda obscure old Russian trainers beyond what I can read on Wiki and a few modeling sites? Seems like they'd be a fairly simple and fun aircraft to build. Saw a rigging/maintenance...
