    Plan Company For Sale

    Tom, What I am looking for in an airplane is a 2 place, recreational aircraft - something fun to yank and bank that probably suited more for sight seeing than x-c flights. It seems there is a lot out there that meets this criteria.

    Plan Company For Sale

    It seems there are many plan companies who aren't doing much anymore and I wondered if anyone knew of someone willing to sell the rights to one. I am interested in building something, but beyond that creating a community around a model - support each other, have fly in, make it an exclusive...

    Opinions On This Kit

    This kit is located close to my house and I spoke to the gentleman today. The aircraft is about 10% and has spent the last 20 years in his heated shop - he states the material shows no age or damage. He just hasnt had the time to work on it. I like the KR-1 from my research it is an easy...

    Short field landing technique

    I am trying to remember my short field landing on my checkride - I think I just wanted to land on target, retract the flaps and apply hard braking. It was a few years ago now though - but I do not think I changed my AOA, nor my speed, nor my technique.

    Prisoners training horses? How about A/C construction?

    The skill set for the aircraft would need to meet the requirements of an A&P and how likely are companies going to hire ex-cons - I can assure you in the horse world it isn't a problem!

    Prisoners training horses? How about A/C construction?

    I think it is missing many of the key aspects that the horse program builds: Compassion - having an animal rely on you for its care is incredibly rewarding. No one has trusted many of these people, the animals are the first. Horses are free, can cost about $200 per month to keep and can be...

    PLANS

    I understand there is plenty of variation - however I was more curious to lay eyes on some and see what I think. At this point I am not sure if I am going to stick with wood, or go to a JC and take some welding/metal classes. Being at the very beginning this monumental task although exciting...

    PLANS

    I am in the research phase and wanted to purchase a set of plans (any plans) to review and gain an idea of what is involved and what working of plans would be like. I used to build RC plans so I have some idea, but still think this is essetial because it could well rule out plan built projects...

    Low Pass fly by

    A while back I posted a blurb about the SR71s speed. This is from the opposite end of the spectrum, looking at the slowest flight of the Blackbird. "What was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?" Brian Shul, Retired SR-71 Pilot, via Plane and Pilot MagazineAs a former SR-71 pilot, and...

    DR1 and Sopwith Pup build

    Does anyone think that RC airplanes are getting too big? Not only are they a danger to other aircraft but to people on the ground. I know from my RC days that it wasn't a matter of it they crashed, but rather when and with being unregulated it could be rather nasty. I am sure you all remember...

    Bounsall Super Prospector

    I worked in VC - if you find out how much he wants to sole rights of them, I would happily look into purchasing it. I had previously looked at this plane with interest - it could well be popular esp. if we can get a kit out of it.

    All my aviation friends are dead

    I work in a pediatric ICU -I see death from all sides; kids who were never expected to live long, to normal kids who succumbed to the horrors of disease to other children who were involved in a tragic accident - some their fault, some not. Seeing all of this makes you realize how fragile life is...
