I am having trouble getting my fuselage laid out. The problem is the 75% angle of the rear uprght tube. When I line it all up using the measurements provided...
When I laid out my fuse, I drew evrything full size on paper first. I made sure the 75 deg tube was correct, and that the 24" top tube offset was correct along...
Looking GOOD ! Is that metal cutting bandsaw in the background a harbor freight and how do you like it? I have one and I don't like it, I cut all my tubes on...
Thanks.... I found it to be piss poor at that. One of the TV programs shows a guy smashing the thing to bits, I don't remember what program. Dan Leech...
Hey ... I'm interested in building an Affordaplane, but I've heard some bad things about it on the net ... things like: - plans not arriving, - problems with...
Welcome to the group Robert, There are several here who are currently building. Read the group archives... it will take a while, but you will learn ALOT. Also...
In a word....NO. There are many APs flying. Probably someone who can't take competition. ... From: montanasoftware To: Cheapaircraft@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Thanks Dan ... I just found some pics of a flying A-Plane on the cheap2 group. Very reassuring. BTW: What's the smallest motor you can fly the A-plane with? ...
I am now having engine issues with carb jetting. I have a dual CHT gauge to install before I can properly adjust the carb. I should have it this week. I am...
Rick, Great Job! I've been waiting for someone to do something with the tail end, so it could be covered. I assume some weldings gone into the extras you've...
Your plane looks fantastic!! Will it still meet ultralight weight limits? Anyway your fuselage additions can be made without welding? Thanks in advance. Steve...
Steve, thanks for the comments. Yes welding is involved with what I did for the fuselage additions. The construction is aluminum tubing joined with 4130 welded...
Bob, the egt is the most telling when it comes to jetting. The cht mainly tells you if you have enough cooling. I would recommend a dual egt, or at least 2...
I just have to throw in my .02 on the a-plane on ebay. I asked the seller of it had been flown into his facility, and he replied: No, it was brought in by...
I am running a Hirth 2705, 65 HP, with a 2.66:1 belt drive swinging a 56/46 prop. How do I tell what the main jet, and jet needle should be? The formula is...
Hi: I've narrowed my decision down to the A-plane vs. Leagle Eagle. The a-plane is easier to build, which is a big plus, but I think it suffers from some sort...
Yep I got a comment. The A plane if built to plans is SEVERAL lbs heavier than the Legal Eagle. The LE will make 254 with a 447 rotax, the A plane won't...
The difference in effeciency between the A-Plane and the LE is in my opinion the difference in weight. You wouldn't believe how much difference 10 pounds...
That seems like a short prop with alot of pitch. I would be intrested to know how much thrust your setup is making. I ran the numbers and at 6200 RPM with your...
The A-plane and the LE. The A-plane is heavier, by far. The LE can acutally be built as a legal ultralight. I think the "minimum" of 40 hp depends on what the...
I looked at mabye a dozen different designs before starting on my A-Plane project. There is even a better choice than the A-Plane or Legal Eagle ( In my ...
Sounds like the egt/cht figures for a Rotax w/Bing carb(s) are pretty much identical to what you are supposed to tune for on the Kawasaki w/Mikuni. Also...
Does anyone have any experience with the 'Balance Master' prop balancer? I recently balanced my prop using a 'Buzz Master" string type balancer. Worked pretty...
were you able to determine what the difference was between the affordaplane airfoil clark (y not) and the true clark y dan? ive wondered about that myself ...
