There's a show on NPR called Cartalk. 2 car mechanics supposedly giving advice to callers but really it's just an excuse for them to goof around. Hysterical. There's a segment about a guy wanting to put a Subaru engine in an experiment plane. Scroll down to Mazda Miata with...

I have a set of molds for a single place motorglider fuselage, looks similar to the Carat sailplane that need a new home. There are also molds and tooling for some of the internal bulkheads as well. Anyone interested in somthing like this please drop me a note. Thanks, Brad

Several years ago I started building a RagWing Special. I built everything but the fuselage,when the facts that it tended to fly tail low,and would not make UL weight stopped me. Graham Lee (RIP) in a post ,suggested the tail low attitude was caused by the lack of downthrust,problem solved. The...

The future of the Glass Goose is in doubt. I e-mailed Tom Scott about seeing the GG while I was in Dallas but it seems he is having health issues & ready to retire. I sure hope he finds a buyer to keep production going. The GG is really in a class of its own; it really deserves to be the amphibian...

FYI to everyone on RAC: I have recently moved from Covington, GA (20 mi. east of Atlanta) to Lafayette, CO (20 mi. west of Denver.) The Wright 1902 glider, airshow equipment, etc. were towed out (in their trailer) about two weeks ago. The first two days were uneventful. However, the weather...

"Jamie and Adam take wing to test if a person with no flight training can safely land an airplane and if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt speeding in the opposite direction. Tory, Grant, and Kari jump on some Hollywood-inspired skydiving myths." Quoted from the Discovery channel...

I have a accelerometer in my junk box. It's a 2-1/4 instrument, in good condition seems to function. I hold it in my hand and it registers both positive & negative G's.
