Airplane's

For anyone interested in flying, here is a very economical way to do so.

Scratch building yourself an airplane is an exciting and rewarding project, especially when the time comes to take that first flight! There's just nothing like taking off for the first time, climbing above the fields and trees, in a plane that you crafted with your own hands. The time spent pouring over the plans and fashioning the many parts, seems a small price to pay for such a thrill!

The Ultralight flier envies the Cessna flier.
The Cessna flier envies the twin engine Beechcraft flier and etc. all the way up to the jumbo jet pilot...
Whoever sees the Ultralight pilot and envies him thinks.......
"Now that's flying"

This is the second Ultralight that I built and sold. 
A plans built Affordaplane, Sold

This is the third Ultralight that I built and sold. 
A plans built Tiger Cub Ultralight, SOLD

 

My Little Rebel 

I began building my Little Rebel on February 14 2009

It is a two +1 seat STOL aircraft capable of operating from wheels, floats, or skis, featuring all metal construction.
It will be powered with a Lycoming O-235 engine turning a Sensenich 74 inch Aluminum Propeller.
This Airplane is of my own design with all parts being hand made be my grandson, friends and me.
It is fashioned after a Murphy Rebel using similar design techniques and type materials.
I bought several sheets of 4 X 12 foot Aluminum, from .020 to .040 thicknesses to build it with.
NO parts of the fuselage or wings were made by a factory.
I cut the large sheets oversize with a skill saw and then trimmed them with a router.
Many parts were cut out with a router using a laminate bit on wood patterns that I made.
The fuselage width is about the same as that of a Cessna 170 at 40 inches.
I installed Float attach brackets so that I can later mount floats.
I used the 4415 (Modified) Airfoil with a wing cord of 60 inches.
Each wing is 12 feet long using a Carlson main spar with a 14 inch fiberglass tip added.
Total length of the airplane with the spinner will be about 21 feet.
I am using a Cessna 150/152 Control Yokes and Y control. The rudder pedals are from a Piper Tri pacer.
The main landing gear wheels are xxxx by Matco with hydraulic disc brakes on a coil spring landing gear.
I am using a Taylorcraft BC12-D Tailwheel Spring with a 8 inch Matco kick out tail wheel.
The seats are from a Piper Tomahawk PA38-112 that were reupholstered and modified to fit Cessna adjustable seat rails.

 A special thanks to my friend Jon Blessing for his many hours of help.

And

A special thanks to Craig Walls of Chickaloon Alaska for all his help in making this project become a reality.
By giving invaluable technical assistance.

Quotes I live by

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

 Either, Lead - Follow; or get the hell out of my way.

Being on the tightrope is living; Everything else is waiting.

Always do right. This will gratify some and astonish the rest.

Being an egotistical a--hole, I DO IT MY WAY (after I get my wife's permission).
(Written by Wayne Pederson. If it fits, you can quote me)  

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
