    Harbor Freight Predator 670 V-Twin Horsepower tests

    I am surprised that the intake valves are smaller than the exhaust valves.

    Interesting topic, but not DA-11 related.

    PIK-26 Plans set in English

    Paul Isally seems to have a 4 cylinder Type 1 VW in the front of his PIK-26. The wikipedia description mentions 2 cylinder engines. Has anyone followed all his videos and other posts to see what modifications he has done?

    DA11?

    ShindenKai, me two! I wonder what percentage of pilots would fit it? I am guessing 15-25%. As a commercial enterprise, that market reduction is a bit daunting. Yet for those who fit it, it is rather beguiling.

    DA-11 no longer in Midland Museum.

    I am wondering what percentage of pilots would fit the DA-11 as it is now. I am guessing it is in the 10-20% range, but that is just a guess.

    DA-11 no longer in Midland Museum.

    The issue with communicating with some one on Facebook who is not a Facebook friend is that to see private messages they must check "message requests". At least in my experience there is no alert to such messages. He may have different alerts set. One could also write to his business. Glad you...

    DA11?

    So, the other DA-11 thread has current postings. Could these threads be merged? Either way, the DA-11 is in Phoenix, and I saw a Facebook (time wasting at its best) photo of the DA-11. The black inflatable thing in the last photo of Post 105 is explained if you look on Facebook. There is nothing...

    So interesting. Brent Davis is on Facebook. There is a photo of the DA-11 hanging from the ceiling. The above photo by BigL was taken in the space where the plane is now hung. That explains the large inflatable object in the other photos. There is not any information pertaining to the DA-11 on...

    DA11?

    I don't have that issue of Contact. I have also been unable to find the Aircraft Spruce listing. I did see that Bob Kukyendahl (spl) posted the link 20 years ago... I am not an EAA member, but maybe this will push me over the edge. They do like to send a lot of paper... Thank you for the...

    Wingitis, did you get these photos from Wasabi Racing? I looked at them yesterday. Thank you for posting.

    Big L, do you have any other information on the DA -11 that is not commonly known? do you have the Contact magazine issue 47?

    DA11?

    Dan, Where, other than from the sentence you quoted, did you see the L/D of 5:1 for the DA-11?

    DA11?

    Riggerrob, thank you for the explanation. I wondered if you meant to write aspect ratio instead of LD in this sentence, "Hence a Davis with a 5/1 LD will glide steeper than a Cessna with 7/1."

    Holcomb Perigee

    That is my recollection of the letter also. I will look around.

    Could a wooden sailplane beat a fibre glass/carbon sailplane in L/D ?

    Is that motion brownian?

    Ceramic Bearings

    Some scooter motors and the ETEC Bombardier Ski Doo have one or more permanently lubricated sealed main bearings. Amazing!

    Adept Engines

    Ross, any new info on the V6? I was wondering if they used automotive heads for their bespoke block or if the entire engine was bespoke. I haven't been able to find 98mm bore heads yet, though the GM 3.6 liter LGX gets to 95mm bore. Also, any idea of the compression ratio? Or the torque peak for...
