Korgboy98, I have the cheap benchtop 30" job. It realy strains on .040 material. It's best suited for .025 and under material (aluminum that is). In fact, I've...

Hi Everyone, I'm just considering building a Hummelbird. I have two questions that will hopefully draw some responses. 1.) I have a friend with his own grass...
Hello Marty, I fly a C-152, C172 and a PA-28-160 from a grass field in New Jersey (N75). Almost all the planes based here are tricycle gear (ok, not that many...
Hi Marty, ... I'm a total newbie to this too, but I've done some research on the Guzzi angle. For the basic HB, the big block engines are too heavy (heavier...
Maybe you moto guzzi guys should look at the www.ultravair.com This is the Corvair two cylinder that is so much easier to build than the 1/2 VW.... Billy Dee...
