Good plans-built Light Sport Aircraft by Rob Schneider
Having been a lurker on this site for a while, I'm not sure what I'll get as a response to this post, but here goes: I have a long term plan to get a PPL and build a plane for cross country travel (from South Dakota to Idaho, so it would involve flying over the Rockies). Maybe a Dyke Delta, but...

Electric motor for hang glider by Legend Length
I have been trying to do some calculations of how much battery power would be needed to keep a hang glider flying level. With some help I arrived at about 1 or 2 kW (a few horse power) for a typical hang glider with 10:1 glide ratio and 180 pound (80 kg) pilot. As a comparison, gasoline engines...

BMW engine aircraft suitable? by Ralf Mueller
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 ;-))

Ok, what about the BD5 by Whome?
Ok, we have roasted the Mini 500, how about the BD5? First things first, forget the jet. So few people could ever afford such a thing it hardly seems viable from the get-go. But why has such a popular design (on paper) found so little success? Thousands of people instantly fell in love with it...
