    Glue Recommendation

    Yep, a very clean looking airplane. But, I'm working on my SPL and the -65's performance is outside of LSA.

    Glue Recommendation

    I just ordered plans for a Cvjetkovic CA-61. It will likely be that or a Fly Baby. I'm leaning toward the CA-61 for the cantilever wing and wider track on the main gear. Cvjetkovic Aircraft

    Prop Question

    I'm going to start a project soon that will take an engine 65-85 HP. I'm looking at the VW options and have a question related to RPM. My prior experience is with engines such as Lycomings. The VW engines look like they're rated at about 1,000 more RPM than you get out of a standard aircraft...

    Glue Recommendation

    I'm looking at starting my first wood airplane project soon and want to make sure I get going down the right road. I've been wading through the discussion threads on various glues.

    What are you doing in addition to flying?

    I just logged in here after a long absence. Here's an update... In 2019 I had saved up the money for my Sport Pilot license and was in the process of selecting a school. However, on 23 August of that year I was riding to work and a young guy armed with a cell phone plowed me from behind and...

    Late to the Dream

    Hey guys (and gals?). At one time, many years ago, I had started a bucket list. It seemed like the thing to do. After a couple years, I realized that it had actually turned into a Closet of Regrets. I found that I had allowed the clutter of life, and that beast called "practicality", to derail...
