  1. Hi Maj, Is the biplane the 1/2 vw powered ?. Can you remember the prop dia., The 1/2 vw can use 46" to 52" & still climb away.

     

    My aircraft is a "HummelBird" plus another fuse,. to use when I'm use to flying it as a trigear I will change to the tail dragger.

     

    IF ever I can pass the BAK tests, Made a couple of 48"X36" props to run_in the engine. straight prop was noisy the curved prop ran slower revs, next I want to try a "Scimitar" for the open air

  2. An old plane, can enyone rebirth the "FAIRY RotoDyne", the twin rotors were compressed air powered vertical for takeoff & tilted to fly like a normal aircraft.

     

    The British goverment withdrew licenceing to "FAIRY AVIATION" and the owners steamrolled the prototype flat then burnt all the blueprints & papers, closed down, and ended manufacturing.
