I used heavey duty fabric for seat bottoms and backs on my lsa. double up on regular wieght would work also. Not bad to sit on even without cushions.. Save the wieght everywhere you can.I never...

When going across North Idaho forget Cour De Lane (just a suberb of LA) Stop at Cayuse Creek if camping out and then go on to Lewiston for fuel.

After I apply the tapes, I brush a coat of poly brush on the tapes and rub into the tapes with my fingers. Then spray the first coat of poly brush. Takes care of the bubbles for me....

thinking of changing out my o235C for a o290D2. you guys who have changed out the original Pa-12, what is the difference in wieght. Have an oil cooler on the o235. Believe I have a good deal on...

I made my ribs from.025 2024T3. Used hardwood form blocks and formed them by hand. Same with aileron ribs and nose ribs... Might have used Carlson rib cap and built up ribs if I did it agian. ...

Why not just build from raw material rather than being a part assembler. I built my plane and built every part from scratch. I never used a single pre- made part except for instruments. I made Carb...

I just completed, after 10 years, my knock off cub. Very similair to a 105 supercub but alittle different fusalage and wing construction... Total cost was less than $15,000... Completed airframe...

I just finished a 10 year knock off cub project with an O-235. I...
