Mike, There are benefits to both systems I guess. Given the work required to do the forward opening canopy, perhaps I should consider the sliding approach. Either would be an improvement over the

I wanted something very simple that I could install quick release locking pins in. My canopy can be removed in about 10 seconds. Materials required: (4) 1" x 12 x 1/4" pieces of flat bar aluminum,

J'ever notice that Malechek is a little fussy about his sliding canopy, Mr B. ? If someone is not careful and he gets a little racking, the sliders can come off track. To stop the racking one has to

Since 2001 wasn't a good year for aviation, I spent the last day of the year, exercising our freedom to fly. Other than being cold (18 degrees F), it was a beautifully clear day with 30-50 miles of

You know I'm really rather picky on what engine I'll let you put on MY kit ;-] Depending on what engine you have to start with you can get an easy 35 hp out of them. The Kohler has a 100 extra cc's

I have an Onan, firewall forward with prop, cowling and motor mounts for sale including the prop. It was last flown about 8 years ago. Stored indoors in a heated space but not pickled. $300 +

Leon, has your project flown at all? If not, you might want to consider reducing the variables somewhat by either purchasing an Onan firewall forward package( they are not exactly a sought after

Having flown behind a so-called Onan 22hp, a Global and a Rotax, I think that 35 horses would be just about right for a Quickie. Seems like the 503's are excessive and need to be restrained by prop
