Thats interesting - I will have to look at this for interest. At the moment my wife lets me spend a chunk of my life in the garage building the car - I think...
Building a plane is cool! See http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/7494/ The non-government organization Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in...
... Steve, a factoid I'm carrying around is that 75% of bike accidents (may have been fatals) are the result of a collision with a car/truck. In 80% of those...
I would think that the max down travel would be tied to how fast the suspension could extend and how fast the main body of the car could accelerate down when...
Putting the engine between the driver and the rear wheels has the potential to bring the CG of each of these components closer together, reducing the polar...
Wow! I quoted a single phrase out of a body of law that regulates Amature Built Aircraft in the USA. That is not all there is to the law, by far. Still, from...
Kitplanes magazine (USA) lists the designs and companys (many one man selling plans for one airplane) of 450-500 different homebuilt airplane designs. Many...
(EAA) in the US has done such a good job of self policing the hobby that we enjoy by far the most relaxed laws in this area of any country in the world....
Unfortunatly attathments done work on this site. You need to mail me direct. Its true that car drivers are not so observant with bikes, but I have learnt that...

must approve each design or you will have a nice paperweight when you finish (see the PFA before you spend one (what? Penny? Pound? Farthing? Quid?)). ... ...
Hi Tom, As I understand in AUS you build the aircraft from a set of plans - have it visually inspected - you are then allocated an area in which to fly for the...
Yes, the wings are detachable on a HummelBird. The center 6' section has the landing gear near the outer ends and an addition 6' (or 7 1/2 foot with optional...
Thank you for the clarification on monetary units. As for our rediculous use of inches/pounds/miles/etc. don't forget that we just haven't acknowledged that...
Very similar rules apply here for almost all homebuilt airplanes with the big exception that if you use an engine and prop , both of which are certified by the...
... I was amazed looking at kit car sites how light the palnes are - i think your sports category allows 1200lbs or so all up - i thought i had misread at...
... that we just haven't acknowledged that that is a lost cause so we use BOTH systems. That's true @#$%^& in my opinion. Actually we still kinda use both. In...
At a guess I'd say that if the suspension was at 1/3 droop the boody would be at one hell of a lean when cornering. Given that the inside wheel is drooping...
I doubt this was the reason for relocating the engine at the rear. Cooper proved that the engine behind the driver was the way to go - and their car certainly...
Not a truer word said. You can pontificate about variuos theories untill the cows came home. Bettter off just to build it and see what happens ;-) Martin Lucas...
No need to convince me. I do not blindly subscribe to the philosophy that rear mid-engine, IRS cars are alwas inherently superior to front mid-engine cars. I...
