"Where do you find the time?"
That's one of the more common questions I'm asked.  Probably the best

major components come from other countries.  Brazil produces
crankcases.  Mexico casts the cylinder heads an produces most of the

Mine has developed a defect in the glass, but otherwise works.

Bob and other Group members,
I’ve purchased plans to the VP-1 and downloaded study plans for the
VP-2, all research and background indicates the VP-1 is the best build

Veedubber dont worry too much about vaughn. I dont know why he carries
on so much.
the topic of this post is to make you aware of a set of free
downloadable plans for a modern incarnation of the old primary glider.

I joined the ranks of of aircraft owners in a big way. In the last
three weeks I have bought not one but TWO CGS Hawks. The first is a
Hawk Arrow II project I picked up in NJ  and It is coming along

The VW engine does not come with an oil filter.  There is an oil
STRAINER surrounding the oil pick-up tube in the sump but its job is
exactly the same as the oil strainer found on the inlet of the oil
