Hi Jerry, Maybe you could ask for hull insurance of like $1000 or so, then it would be a real cheap add on. I don’t think Signature is in the business of telling you what your plane is worth. Cheers,

My liability component was cheaper than that, but when I said, lets drop the hull insurance, they said "no, it’s a package deal", so I suspect that you may have trouble beating about $1000 per year. A

Fantastic, Mike! Congrats on making good strides. Looking forward to more good news on your project. Hey, JP. Don’t work on your ark. Our wings are filled with “flotation billets”. Just put on a diffe

I’m usually up for a nice 2000 mile round trip. Sign me up. Cheers, Jay

I used camloc fasteners. I have them spaced about 6” around the cowling. Seems to work fine. I have been flying for 5 years (300 hours) now and have had no problems. Cheers, Jay

Not exactly GA friendly out there, but that is a possibility.

We could have it at my home field. 2600’ of cracked pavement, taxiways too narrow for Q2 taildragger gear, high altitude, mountains on all sides and spring snow! Any takers? Cheers, jay

Kevin, You’re a good man! I will be there, God willing of course. I wanted to be a “Waukon” on my college basketball team, but the Illini wouldn’t have me…something about not being able to hit a jump

I am pretty sure that, if you de-register it, none of the parts are considered “airworthy” and someone would have to rebuild it with a new registration “from parts” and then they would be the manufact

Hi All, This note from Burt Rutan popped up on the Canard Forum, in response to a discussion about Mike Melvill’s original Long-EZ, which was donated to a museum. Burt probably has the most experience

Funny story about that removable tail section on Paul’s plane. He built it originally without the removable tail. He blew a tire at a landing on an airport away from his home airport and it ground loo

Hi Eugen, I think that N131PS is for sale. It was purchased by an elderly gentleman (Terrance O’Neill) in Niwot, Colorado in 2022, but I don’t think he wants to fly it, so it has been for sale for abo

Thanks Rich. You and Tim need to keep us updated on your flying progress on that side of the pond! Cheers, Jay

Had a fresh snow earlier in the week, but it was very nice and clear today and the runway was clear and dry for a flight this morning. Everything felt good, so I went up and flew over some of the high

Congrats Kevin. Nice report and glad to hear that Paul is always available to buy your lunch. Cheers, Jay

Let me know if you don’t get what you need and I can scan the original plans sheets at full scale. Even better, Phil ( if you’re listening) bought my original O-200 engine and I think I gave him my QA

For piece of mind, read pages 17-20 of this document. Straight from the RAF horse’s mouth: http://n8wq.scheevel.com/documents/RAF_composite_education_section_from_Q2Plans.pdf Cheers, Jay

I would agree with you Rick, except that having worked chunks of that foam in scraps I cut off of the shells, it is clear that it is more elastic and resilient than the stock urethane white foam sheet

I agree with Martin. If you have some light cloth (like 5 oz BID), that should be all you need after filling with micro. Make sure you clean and burnish around the fill. Those shells had some serious

Not really my design, Vern. I see some distinct mechanical and critical stress problems, but I don’t have the energy to critique it right now. Cheers, Jay
