    Can a Challenger/Excalibur have folding wings?

    I've been told the wings are removable, but can they or have they ever incorporated a "swing wing" type of folding mechanism? I can share a hanger where I'm moving to and I'm looking into any type of lower cost aircraft that can do this. I have currently found quite a few Challengers I can get...

    Question Regarding LSA Instructors

    It is my understanding that any "Private Pilot" (Subpart H) CFI can provide LSA pilot training (which can count towards private pilot credit), but what are the training/soloing requirements for the aircraft used? Does the aircraft used need to adhere to LSA requirements, or can a normal...

    Pterodactyl Ascender x2 Plus Parts in Charleston, SC

    Good day, I have come to the realization that I need to sell these to get more funds for my other project. No use in having so many aircraft, especially when I'm tied down with other priorities and funds are holding me back. I have (2) pterodactyl Ascenders. I have not flown either one of...

    Allowed to design and build own LSA at home?? Yes? No?

    If a person wants to BOTH design and build their own lsa at home, is that allowed by the Gov? The lsa I'm thinking of is basically a 40 lbs over the limit ultralight, stall around 35 to 40 mph, intended to be used in the same way as a 103, not carry any passengers, 10 gal of fuel. As i...

    Flying a N registration in EU...

    In another thread someone mentioned that planes flying in Europe that are registered in the US get a few advantages... This got me wondering about two things: 1) why would the EASA treat N differently if it's physically flying in Europe? 2) what route could a LSA actually take...

    Sleeping in an UL during a thunderstorm. Bad idea? OK?

    I've read a few places where people, when either at an airport or in the "woods", sleep next to or IN their UL or LSA. This sounds okay, but what if it is raining or the is thunder and LIGHTENING? If your in something like a Quicksilver then i think you would be likely to get zapped. ULs and...

    How much do wings weigh??

    I'm looking at a wing that juts out 12.5ft from the side of the plane. Not decided if its cantilever or braced yet. If it is braced, the brace will attach to wing only 3.5 ft from the fuselage leaving a full 9 ft hanging out there. 4.6ft wide. gross weight plane 580lbs. Trying for 6G max load...

    How does an American fly in CANADA??????

    There is soooo much wilderness and flying country in Canada it calls to me. I can imagine ultralight flying in Ontario or British Columbia.
