Hi all- I pitched some ideas for articles to Kitplanes Magazine. I've written for them before but it's been a few years. Editor Paul Dye graciously and promptly replied and advised the following: "our focus is on “How To� - a reader should be able to finish an article and actually DO...

Have a friend who has decided that he hasn't time to build this...he has a modified Wag Aero 2+2 Sportsman with the Ford engine which he has decided to put on floats rather than build this hull type amphib. Note that this price includes the engine AND the PSRU. ======================= FOR...

In another post about the fabulous new Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the National Air & Space Museum), frustration with not being able to fly into this terrific new facility was evident. I personally find it appallingly ironic that museums which purport to glorify flight are not accessible...

I have a Volksplane for parts if you are interested.

On the cover of the May 13th 2016 Wall Street Journal is a picture of a Cessna 210 it shows retractable gear and strutted wings.

I have been working on a biplane flying boat (similar to some in the early 1900s). Rough weight estimates a fuselage/tail/controls 200, Rotax 503/5Gal fuel 150, wings 150, me 225 = 725 gross. The reason for the biplane configuration is for the large wing area (250sq.ft) I feel will be needed to...

Has anybody found a source for new or used plans for this amphibious aircraft. Thanks for any leads. Steve carlisle

Met a very well-marked High School student today who wants to do flying as a career. He has one problem, he is red-green color blind. He believes that the services will not take him as a military pilot, but he would still love to fly. Are there airlines or cargo carriers who will take a...

just read about the new BMW S 1000 RR bike. The complete engine assembly is less than 60 KG. Engine puts out 193HP (112 Nm, 12,000rpm). Wouldn't that one (slightly detuned) make a nice SLA powerplant ;-))

Is there anyone alse building a Sidewinder???

I used to play in one in the 1950's on Beacon Hill, that was on Military road going down to Airport way.

So is anybody doing anything worth talking about? I did the detail design for an all wood elliptical wing that a friend is building. Low wing single seat Sportster. His airframe was started by Paul P some years back. Paul did beautiful welding. He's ready to have the fuel tank welded up now,...

John: It's been 16 years since your posts here, and I'm just now discovering your Bootstrap Approach to assessing small aircraft performance. Are you still around? If so, please respond. I'd like to buy additional background information directly from you since your book is now out of print. I...
