    Why do Piper Cubs vary so much in price?

    I really like Piper Cubs. Recently looking at some fr sale I noticed a HUGE difference in price with them. I saw some going for as low as mid $2X,XXX all the way to well over $15X,XXX. Other than the obvious differences in condition and equipment, why do these vary so much in price? I would...

    Fuel stabilizer?

    So it is getting to be that time of year where the weather turns cold, and I will be putting the plane away until it gets warm again (May). I have a low time Rotax 503 requiring a 50:1 gas oil mix. My question is, should I add fuel stabilizer to the tank and run it for a little bit? Or is...

    Did my first REAL dead stick landing today...

    So after chasing down a fuel leak in my new Falcon XP, we found that I needed a new fuel pump (becuase the leak was coming from the fuel pump). A new one was installed and I took it up and flew around the pattern and landed with no leak on the new fuel pump. I paid my bill to the A&P at the...

    How much wind is too much wind for a 500 pound aircraft to fly in?

    Recently I flew my LSA (Falcon XP) and noticed as soon as I got airborne that it was going to be a bumpy ride! Given the 38ft wingspan, and the light weight of the aircraft at only 500 lbs, it definatly tossed me around a bit, and at a few times, it was almost all I could do just to keep it...

    Big wing span, sluggish roll control, and question about steep turns...

    So my wingspan is 38ft, and my aileron control is sluggish (I seem to actually get better roll control using the rudders). This is probably me just being paranoid about only having the plane airborne for a few hours worth of flying time thus far, but I keep feeling that if I go beyond a 30...

    First flight/test flight period...

    I recently purchased a fully built Falcon XP, and just brought it in to town the other day. Today I assembled everything (it was transported in a trailer with the wings off), and had it inspected by the FAA and had everything transferred in my name. The FAA inspection went well, and the plane...

    How many ounces for 5 gallons at this ratio?

    So I have a Rotax 503 two stroke. It requires a 50:1 ratio of oil gas mix. My question is, how many ounces of oil do I need to add to 5 gallons of gasoline to make that mix? I thought I looked it up once and it was around 2 ounces for a gallon. At that ratio it would simply be 10 ounces...

    Help me review etiquette for flying with no radio...

    So I just bought my Falcon XP (an E-LSA), and it has no radio. What are the procedures for flying in a non towered airfield with no radio? Also, on a different topic, does anyone have a link to the procedures for the 40 hour flight test period for a new aircraft from the FAA? I looked and I...

    Power lines and landing; how far should I stay away?

    These are the type of power lines that may be located near a landing strip I might be putting in (a grass one). I know ideally one would not want to be anywhere near power lines. But this may be one of my only options. Specifically I am trying to figure out if this is doable, or if this is...

    So I am a few weeks out from purchasing my first E-LSA aircraft (Falcon XP). The aircraft was homebuilt, has never been flown, has a good N#, been registered with the FAA, and does not expire until December of 2012. I know earlier I thought there might be a snag because it was registered...

    Rotax 503, what fuel to use?

    So the Falcon I am considering getting has a Rotax 503 in it. Falcons instruction booklet states the Rotax 503 should take "50:1 Regular 86 octane, B.I.A. or T.C.A spec oil". Keeping in mind the Falcon was designed in the 80's before ethanol was widely used in fuel. That mixed with the fact...

    Carb heat?

    Looking forward to getting my E-LSA which will have the Rotax 503 in it. However, while flying today, I heard a "Mayday" over guard. It was a Skyarrow who's engine was almost out, then regained power, and he said he thought it was icing and he tried using the carb heat. I guess I never...
