Hi: The 767 glides about 30 miles for 10,000 feet depending on speed as do most jet airliners. If you slow up to a bit below 250 knots you will do a bit better...
I Hate to say this, But me and a buddy built a glider out of 1.5" schedule 40 pvc.It had a 20' span, no tail, Braced with rope, (think Chanute gone wrong) I...
In the late '60s/early '70s I had an old orange and white round military parachute that I paid $25 for that we tied a Y to the front two risers and tied the ...
Has anybody received a tool or refund or had any contact with this guy? I sent him $72.50 on 11-11-07 for 5 tools and after multiple (broken) promises and...
That is "Airchair"; by Paul Vilinski an NY artist and friend of mine. It took him 6 months to craft from stainless steel, wood, canvas and an old wheelchair. ...

Yes I did get my pay-pal refund. The very day I received notice of the credit I ordered from Clamprite and they promptly shipped my unit. It's in my tool box...

Hello my name is Nick Burden, I am 16 years old and have been wanting to fly since I can remeber. I have taken a look at the BUG and GOAT and I am leaning...
Believe me I do understand what using conduit means, less performance. I do indeed love the idea of an airchair but after reviewing those plans I don't think I...
Just to state the obvious, you can seriously hurt and kill yourself from 10 feet. I had two minor accidents bouldering when I used to rock climb a lot. One...
Actually you just made it clear that you do NOT know what conduit means and that is why we are concerned. Being young doesnt mean you arent smart, just that ...
... Excellent post Rex. Our young friend could do well by hooking up with the local EAA chapter and maybe even find himself sponsored to the EAA summer camp....
Hi there, Conduit is a very bad idea and will likely fold on you at the worst possible time. Unlike Red I'm rather serious about the ladders, though. I...
I'm interested in Airchairs that weigh less than 100 pounds. I would love to hear ideas discussed for that goal. Part of my interest is regulatory, but there...
