    Thank you sir.

    Where are plans available at now?

    Luceaire Buttercup

    The Buttercup was a design I had looked at purchasing plans for, but life events occured and that was put on hold. I just recently started looking back into it, but unfortunately it seems I am a little too late. I don't know how many sets are in the wild but, I was of the understanding that it...

    Luceaire Buttercup

    I haven't posted in a very long time, but in a round of bout way I found out about the accident and subsequent death of Earl Luce. I read a post that stated it might have been caused by wing flutter, but I haven't been able to find anything concrete. I tried looking for accident details, but...

    LaFrance Cadet STF vs Globe/TEMCO Swift

    For some reason I have liked the looks of the Swift over the Cadet. I'm not sure why, but there is something about the shape of the fuselage around the windshield area that I prefer. If someone had Cadet STF plans, how hard would it be to modify the fuselage to look more like the Swift?

    Toyota 7A-FE Engine

    Long story short, I was looking at Toyota Corolla/Geo Prizm engines and I got to wondering why these engines aren't more commonly discussed as potential experimental conversions. Comparing the Toyota 7A-FE to the Subaru EA-81 TOYOTA -...

    Salvay-Stark Skyhopper 20

    if only an A/P could work on it, like I always mistakenly think, I imagine repairing that project would be a lot higher, even if I just had to get their signature. What I am finding, that might be a good deal just for the engine alone.

    Salvay-Stark Skyhopper 20

    Scratch that. I'm thinking of Inspection. Anybody can do repair on E/AB, but only the holder of the (poorly named) Repairman Certificate can do the inspection. (Right?)

    Thunder Bug

    I have been watching that one as well. I didn't know about the "ThunderBug" page though. I'd like to see them do something similar with the PlayMate. The Thunder... Mate.... Maybe go with a different name.

    Salvay-Stark Skyhopper 20

    Welding doesn't scare me too badly, but it would save a lot of time. Of course, getting it from Canada to almost Mexico would probably be somewhat cost prohibitive. That design really fits the bill for what I would like to build: LSA, Tube frame fuselage, low wing, two place side by side...

    Salvay-Stark Skyhopper 20

    I wonder how hard that feature would be to rectify? Any idea what airfoil it uses? Thank you for that. I hadn't seen that. I'll have to do some more digging.

    Does anybody know anything about this design? http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/11595.htm http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000868529.html http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled/Sky-Hopper-M-20/2291972/L...

    Spring WS-202 Sprint

    I ordered them around the middle of July or the first of August I think, so I can't really remember. I want to say they were around $100 or $150. As I will reiterate, the plans are for study only. They were cheaper than most plans that are available, and I was more than happy to pay the...

    Yep. Two Seater in Side-by-Side configuration.

    Spring WS-202 Sprint

    Apparently the plane was convertible between conventional and tricycle landing gear. As it was explained to me, the nose gear was removed and installed in the tail, while the main gear were simple turned 180 degrees and reinstalled. It really was a neat plane..... Oh wait.... Whats...

    Cabin Class Homebuilts - What's out there? What was out there?

    That was one goofy looking plane, but man I wish I had bought the plans that were on BarnStormers a couple months back. http://all-aero.com/index.php/contactus/53-planes-l-m-n-o/7516-oneill-airplane-magnum http://www.ultraligero.net/aviones/modelos/magnum_v_8.htm...
