Re: Please help with info if you can on scratch building

I have spoken to Steven Boshof and he recons the SB2 should be awsome with the Jabi 2200 as his 2ltr VW turbo is giving him between 60 and 65 hp so 85 sould be awsome. Further more we discussed the cost to build the airframe and it is very affordable so this will most likely be the airie that I will...

Re: Please help with info if you can on scratch building

Thanks again Tailspin you really are the boss ..........LOL

The CRI CRI doesn't appeal to me but the other arie ( forgot the name now) is nice . I have Steve's number and will try to get hold of him tonight.

Re: Please help with info if you can on scratch building

Thanks for the feedback Tailspin..........please tell me in your oppinion what engine choice is not advised and what is advised for this airframe. I love the airframe its awsome but think that perhaps could be a little heavy with the VW . Would a jab 2200 work or maybe to litle power?

Re: Please help with info if you can on scratch building

Hi Stefan It must have been someone else who called you. But thanks for all this info. Well I guess then it seems as though if I dont get plans for the right airframe then I will have to wait another 10 years to afford to buy a ready to fly aircraft. Guys I have looked at the bearhawk and the CH 705...

Re: Please help with info if you can on scratch building

Thanks Morph I thought the BB was built from 20mm steel tubing . So I guess that 15mm and 10mm will be perfect and perhaps bring the cost down even more. Yes I know of the aircraft been built in CT.
