copperpen Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I watched a YouTube video on that plane a couple of days ago. Awesome performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Actually, he rebuilt and heavily modified a Wilga, so much mod that it's a mostly different aircraft, but he didn't start from scratch. But thanks for the link -- fascinating what he did, and the performance he got. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

ColR1948 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 @Larry, Whenever I see things like this of people rebuilding or converting an aircraft, how do they go about getting it airworthy certified? I mean imagine doing all that work and someone checking it out says it isn't airworthy and it needs a lot more work and you need to practically strip it to get the parts needed. Col.

lnuss Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It's a process the FAA provides for converting an aircraft to experimental. I don't know the details, though they're in the FARs, and I think the FAA may also have an Advisory Circular (AC) on it. I suspect the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) would be the place to check it out, though, since that's right up their alley. Larry N.
