Old Man Emu thinks about building his own

That should swing a decent size prop compared to direct drive Jab or VW. I'd thought about a VW with redrive. I'm got plans for a FFP Dakota Hawk so I can take herself flying out of the wind but I have'nt given up the biplane lust.cheers John

Hello John. I note you have plans for a FFP Dakota Hawk. These don't seem so common in Australia. It is on my shortlist for a home build project. Did you proceed with yours? Are there any others in Australia?

T I expect that if everything is on hand, I could realistically hope for a completion date 6 to 9 months after starting. OME

Ahh! The best laid plans of mice and men. Unfortunately, the Minister for War put the veto on this. Four and a half years on, no plane, no certificate to fly, but still enjoying being an active commentator in the aviation field.
