Perhaps thats the criteria to your build choice, O K With wood , build a wood framed aircraft , ( or boat ). Good with F R P , a nice composite aircraft , ( or boat again, ). That only leaves metal ! , for the loud banging & ' Riveting construction ' . ( or rag & tube ) . Not many people would Try to make a ' plywood ' " Mosquito " . ( but can do in boats ) . spacesailor -

How many have failed to finished a aeromodel , that was far to complicated for our skill, at the time of ' plan purchase '. I admit to this , after I decided to build a ' fullscale flying ' LYSANDER spacesailor -

DEPENDS HIGHLY !. on the ' average ' person . I could already weld, ferrous & nonferrous metals from my apprenticeship with a Blacksmith tutor. Loved ' elecronics ' by way of ' popular mechanics ' & similar mags. Aeronautical by aeromodling . SO What is ' average ' . I definitely FAIL at Buearocrasy . It took years to be ' given ' a drivers licence. spacesailor -

Radio Operator's Licence

When I took my H F radio test , I asked about ' annual renewal ' ( as about to head offshore, overseas ) BUT Was promptly told " no one renews , just keep up to date " . That was the government licence inspector. Then they want a test for this & another test for that, then they will dream up more ways to get revenue. spacesailor -
Not just the farm engines , but the old ANVIL Is getting $ 1000`s , as ornaments for the wealthy , I just like shaping metal on them, but not at those prices. ( old rail track does the same ). spacesailor

Just my poor understanding of ' ocean expansion ' . The Mediterranean has been Filling for a few decades. AND It is rising! . BUT For that length of time it Should be, as full as it can be . BUT Evaporation is reducing that Mighty fill rate . SO IF the earth is Warming, it's evaporation will increase making the earth ' wetter & warmer ' . Just like it was before getting hit by a big astoroid, making " SnowBall " earth. spacesailor

You could Check the pad alignment before spending time & fuel . Then run them while holding preasure But don,t overheat them, take the time to let them cool down . spacesailor

My ' disc ' brakes were woefully out of ' pad ' alignment , so I taped fine sandpaper either side of the disc , then rubbed the protruding pad material down to an better fit , using the disc as a rubbin Block . spacesailor

The person I approched is a HummelBird , owner & Is current for that aircraft , SO. I would have thought he would be the BEST I would find . spacesailor

That was my main reason Not to fly my Hummel Bird . There was one instance were a Hummel Bird pilot ,either died from the stress ,or the subsequent crash . The controls are course & the aircraft very agile . So induced oscillations are easily to get into . spacesailor
