Nice... radials sure are purdy. And most airplanes of that
era were not afraid to show off the engines -- just like
motorcycles.

I'm surprised more LSAs are not going to the tube and fabric
way. Might help get the price down under 100k.

Some are and Steel tube is a good way to build an airplane.Very
safe The problem with old wooden wings is twofold. Glues that
encouraged various organisms to grow and moisture getting
trapped in the structure. Bellancas are pretty straightforward
from what I understand. At least compared to some really scary
structures like the Cessna Bobcat or a Fairchild PT-19. Wood
spars OTOH, are a good thing pretty much no matter where they
are.

I haven't really looked, I suppose.

My dad is a fan of the Challenger.

The local enthusiast has a very light something in the big
hangar at VVS - the seat looks like a diaper and the engine
came from a Lawn Boy... yikes.

No thanks. I don;t fly lawn furniture.

LOL

Yeah.. exactly.

It's not flying as much as being suspended from a temporary truce
with physics.

No Thanks.

Mind you, some of the thirties ones do appeal to me. The Longster,
The Church midwing and the Piet, for instance, but they're all
somehow real airplanes..

By the man behind the Wimpy?!

The wimpy? The only Wimpy I know of is the fifties FF model.



Aeronautical genius, perhaps.

Marketing -- not so much.

"Wimpy 23Kilo on left downwind for 26..."

Got a link or a pic?
