    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 -...

    RFI Power Systems or Subaru Conversion and Re-Drive Plans

    I am trying to find a Book on Don Parhams EA-81 conversion, but I am having no luck. I understand he also had plans for a belt re-drive. Unfortunately for the rest of us, Don has retired and RFI is no more. Does anyone have any of this info or know where I could find it?

    The French Chouchenn

    It's a neat looking little plane for those who are interested. I couldn't find an instance of it being discussed here so I thought I would share. I believe it says "bundles" (plans) are available but I don't know how you go about getting them. Anyways, presenting the "Honey Wine"...

    Question Regarding LSA Instructors

    It is my understanding that any "Private Pilot" (Subpart H) CFI can provide LSA pilot training (which can count towards private pilot credit), but what are the training/soloing requirements for the aircraft used? Does the aircraft used need to adhere to LSA requirements, or can a normal...

    [Insert Clickbait Here]

    Hello all, my name is Jaremy (not a typo) and I am interested in the home built aircraft scene. I don't have my pilot's license yet, but it's on the to-do list. Currently, I am investigating building a plane from plans, and seem to have suffered a bite from the "Archival" bug. Through my...
