My wife, Debrya and I recently finished our Murphy Rebel. We spent almost 4 years building our baby. The first flight took place on Sept 1, 2011 and it flew smoothly with no need for control adjustments. The panel consists of two Dynon Skyview panels along with an SL-40, GTX327, Sigtronics intercom, and an Alpha [...]
I began construction of my modified Mirage Marathon in October of 1996. I decided to make mine a traildragger rather than this model’s fixed tricycle gear. The wood, foam and fiberglass design lends itself well to modification. I modified the aft fuselage to accommodate a spring and tailwheel assembly and modified the forward fuselage to [...]
N143DJ first flew on August 10, 2011 after nearly 11 1/2 years of slow building. She has an AeroSport Power O-320, a Catto prop, Dynon D-100 EFIS, and D-120 EMS. I want to thank my tech counselors Gale Derosier, Rick Galati, and the late Bob Jude. I also want to thank my flight advisor Bill [...]

Dear friends, I am a Brazilian subscriber and that is my GALILEU. She is a heavily modified Corben Baby Ace built from scratch over seven years by Mr. Soraggi, a gifted airplane model builder. That is the reason why she is such a perfect flying machine! With a VW 2.2 engine I reach 82 knots. [...]
I started building my RV-6A, N57TK, on July 4, 2002 and I flew the first flight on September 5, 2005. The empennage and wings were built by another builder. When I bought the project, the slow-build fuselage was still in the shipping crate. My day/night VFR RV-6A is equipped with a Dynon EFIS-D10, a Trio [...]
N403PB received her airworthiness certificate in April, 2010 after 14 months and 1,500 hours of build time. Powered by the Rotax 912UL engine, this 748 pound aircraft still cruses at 95 mph at 5,000 rpm. At 5,200 rpm, the cruise increases to 102/105 mph with a four (4) gph burn rate. After some minor adjustments [...]
After 10 enjoyable years of on and off building, my plans built Zenith CH701 aircraft received its airworthiness certificate on March 10, 2011 and took to the air on March 11. It flies great! With a good used Continental O-200-A engine and a simple panel, it is a very inexpensive airplane that is really fun [...]
I just finished a Jabiru j250 with the 5100 8cyl engine, hence “j258.” So far I’m very happy with the airplane. It seems to climb best at 90 knots getting just over 1500ft/min. Once up, it will fly 130 knots TAS at 2600RPM with a fuel burn of 28 l/hr. I still have to finish [...]
