    And to add, the CAFE report is based on the Wheeler CT, not the Auriga or Express 2000 with the bigger tail and larger engine.

    Parts Wanted Wheeler Express Nose Gear

    I have the old version and the new version. Keeping the new version as I heard the old ones are susceptible to bending. If you want the old one, let me know, I'll give you a good deal on it.

    Reduction drives

    Interesting thread and now I'm super intrigued about the possibility of running an LS direct drive to replace a 250hp IO-540. I tried finding info on a DIY PSRU/redrive using C6 but coming up empty. The direct drive option for LS, what kind of tuning or retuning was performed or should I be...

    Best HBA project to teach aero industry skills to HS students?

    IMO: take a close look at what the folks at TeenFlight do. They get sponsored, build an RV12, sell it, have money for the next build, next batch of students. These guys are at all the PNW air shows (maybe more, I dont get out much) http://teenflight.org/

    First attempt at design for electric delta pusher

    I run an electric aviation discussion group on FB (https://facebook.com/groups/electricaviation), we're excited to see where Horton ends up. Horton will be at Airventure. Might be worth a trip to get some flying wing tips... I'm pretty stoked about this design and they have plans for electric...

    Buying bulk fiberglass cloth and epoxy ? Any tips on cheapest suppliers ?

    The old Glassairs and Wheeler/Composite Aircraft Tech Express are vinyl ester. VE does not have very good shelf life (6 months) so you should be ready to build if buying bulk. Epoxy much better shelf. If building an aircraft, highly recommend using the recommended composites for the designed...

    Arduino altimeter & airspeed indicator

    I just revisited the experimental avionics page. It hadn't been updated in quite sometime and was pleasantly surprised to find new updates. http://experimentalavionics.com/efis-ver-2-0/ I was also pleasantly surprised the right tools being used for the right problem. Rpi being used for data...
