I'm looking for some current feedback on overall design and quality of parts. I'm partial to a flying boat vs. float plane. Kits I've been researching to this point a SeaWind 3000 - Not building kits anymore but there projects for sale SeaStar - No new news letters since 2002? SeaStorm Z4 - No...

O.K. the big day has come at last. Ready to fit the wings to the fuselage and need to make four fittings from 4130 .125" sheet. Cut it, jig and weld, drill, file smooth, curse, repeat as necessary. I ordered a 9"x 9" sheet from Wicks and sure enough, it arrives the next day. Sheet doesn't look like...

Has anyone on this list ever welded a thinwall 4130 frame with a MIG welder? What is a good source of 4130 seamless and welded seam tubing? Thanks, -- Have a good one! Steve

has the shortage been solved?? I need .090 sheet in 4130!!!

I'm looking for a source of some .063" thick 4130N sheets (5), in UPSable sizes. Wicks and AS+S have been out for a while and even Dillsburg hasn't got any and "might have some 4130-A in a month or so". Seems there is no more 4130N sheet being made and hasn't been for a year. If I can't find...

Can anyone suggest where in Canada I can purchase 4130 steel tubing (round and square)?... I have ordered in the past from Aircraft Spruce in the US but shipping, taxes, brokerage etc makes it extremely costly.... Shipping times are very long since customs slow things down too... A source in...

Hi Home-built friends, The Dutch Homebuilt Aircraft Association NVAV welcomes you to our Fly-in. 7, 8 and 9 september 2012 It will be the fourth "Dutch Light Aircraft Fly-in" Last years this fly-in proved to be a great succes

I attached two wires directly to the mag kill wires, a third wire bolted straight to the engine itself for ground. Then I started the plane and rev'd it up to 5,000 without warm up and hooked the wires together and it cut off, then I let it warm up for two minutes at 2,000, hooked the wires up at...

What is the official name of the part I would call the stator or magneto housing for a free-air cooled 503 engine? This part would replace the typical part called the Fan Housing, but DOES NOT have all the extra casting meant to hold the forced-air cooling fan... it's just a simple spacer ring...
