    twin engine light sport plans?

    my Grandfather was a member of a bomber crew in a B-17 (he passed away about 5 years ago so I'm just getting this from memory) when he was on a mission over Italy, three of the four engines on his plane were damaged and stopped working on their return pass. their crippled plane managed to fly...

    twin engine light sport plans?

    well i was thinking the plane would be mostly for long range and reliability with a two person capacity and a small cargo bay that could hold a couple of large action packers. the twin engines for me are mostly so if one fails i have a second one keeping me in the air (i have really bad luck so...

    twin engine light sport plans?

    I'm very new to this airplane building thing and was wondering are there any twin engine light sport plans out there, (preferably one that has a smooth flowing top wing design like a C-130). I'm a little indecisive and so I'd like to see what options are available for aircraft plans out there.

    Turbo Charger Jet?

    you all have valid points and it was pretty much what I was expecting to hear. they would probably work on a very, very light airplane (possibly a PPG) it could work in theory. i would still like to build one just for the coolness factor though.

    Turbo Charger Jet?

    the basics behind how a turbocharger Jet works is there are two turbos these are conected by piping wich serves as the combustion chamber. the blades of these turbos are attached by some sort of rod. One turbo takes in air compresses it in the combustion chamber and a spark plug ignites a fuel...

    that is definatly not a concern for me. I would like to fly sooner rather than later but I'm not one to rush into things.

    new kid from South Dakota

    i'm certainly not heart-set on modern military i wouldn't mind a mini mustang or possibly a Yak 9, the ME109 has a good look too but the poor visibility and Nazi thing kinda puts me off. the glass over foam idea might work or i could go with a steel frame and glass. i can weld pretty good so it...

    new kid from South Dakota

    I like the realy big sqirt gun idea, but i was thinking i could maby get a set of micro jet engines but i still need to do some shopping around, but ya the airofoils would work fine in the design (I would have picked an F-22 but an airofoil would definatly not work there) im thinking I should go...

    new kid from South Dakota

    Hi there, I live in Colton South Dakota, just a little outside of Sioux Falls I'm interested in jet propulsion and VTOL but i doubt I'll be able to combine the two. I would like to build an aircraft based off of the A-10 Thunderbolt in mini light sport configuration (but it will take me a while...
