By the time you come out of the 5 point harness after the impact all thats left is the autopsy.

Carlson will sell you the rib capstrip extrusion already milled out for the nose rib radius almost as cheap as if you bought the material and did it yourself. As Bill pointed out, ribs are an area...

Good choice on which airplane to build. You should build what you think you will want in the end result. Flaps on a light cub make sense and make a big difference. In choosing a cub clone if it comes...

Nice film. Its always wet when I fly into EBLG. All looks pretty normal to me.

Obviously not an accetable practice in certified aircraft engine rebuilding according to the red tags but smoothing down the forging seam on a connecting rod is common in auto racing. That was one...

I edited my post so you are kool too. The reason there are no flaps on the LSA is for the very reason we all have discussed, Barrow is a lightweight freak. He had his reasons. You make a lot of...

Barrow's designs are only as light as any stock piper except he doesn't run any electrical systems. Its real easy to become a "moron". That is a term of endearment Curtis Pitts used one time when I...

I'm a Patrol builder so I'm partial to Bob's designs. I would like to be present sometime when the LSA is weighed. 738 with a C-90 seems light. Bare bones J-3's weigh more than that.

747's have a roller floor with a ball mat at each door for spinning pallets. I have hauled a lot of those assault vehicles that was the payload on the accident aircraft. Most all civilian freight...

I don't know what our gov. spends on civilian contractors but I want our soldiers, marines and air force folks to have what they need. I have pot holes in my road too, it's not the military's fault.

Very sad. I fly into Bagram often. One of my company's former flight mechanics was onboard the National 747. I know quite a few National pilots and I'm sure I will know some that perished. Many...

Looks good Marty. I thought I read somewhere that a 13 rib SC wing was 88 pounds minus fuel tank and fuel tank cover.

I thought the J-3 site was for those asking " Do I have the proper cream faced gauges and is my lightning bolt correct " ?

I second what Taldrger said. Nice airplane but for a flying price you can buy a good cub. Perfect for those that want to build. Nice that there is good choices out there.

They may not be the most desirable small continental engine but those two cores are certainly worth buying(if cheap enough) and keeping from rusting. They don't make those anymore and if push comes...

Cool project. Never seen the spine tingler(elev bellcrank) mounted like that. I've seen it laid horizontal a couple of times. Keep us posted.

You can get steel strut blanks from Univair if you want to go with steel. I think they are 1020 steel.

One of my favorite videos. I think the gold toof and the neck bling is what makes it. Its hard to pay for ABW's initially until you go to the trouble of getting some ATV tires, shave them and then...

Are you going to have about 166" and change from the strut fitting on the lower longeron to the tail post centerline? Thats roughly what a cub is. I welded a Blanton V6 fuselage conversion about 20...

I fought the law and the law won.

After you get done splicing those struts I recommend safety cables, especially if you use mig.

yeah, what Taledragger said.

Thats are hard question to answer Jimbo, tubing is too expensive to waste anymore or alot an amount for training. Just go slow and take your time, there is enough called for on the list for the basic...
