Nuff said.

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 pi

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 s

Mikey, did you guys do a video of Marc's test? Seems like a remember once having a copy of something like that. I remember an airfoil not in a fixture like a replica fuselage that held the load initia

After Marc's airfoil failed I drove to Osh with him that summer. We made it a point to attend a NASA forum on stress testing. When we saw photos of a wing load test, lightbulbs went on in our heads an
