build an airplane

ilove jet planes they are amazing

Build a small float plane like the Zenair STOL 701 or the Van RV-9.

I’ve always loved aircraft. What could be better than building and flying my own airplane (and not killing myself in the process)?

Here is a good candidate for the plane I’d like to build:

I built and flew an RV-8A amateur built experimental airplane.

I’ve already bought a set of Pietenpol plans. The difficult thing is to get started, but first I have to finish my house.

I want to build a rocket of my design on my own. Then launch it higher than any amatuer has ever gone. (400,000 ft is my personal goal… for starters.) I already have a design finalized. The only thing that is stopping me is lack of money and a place to launch from.
When i accomplish this goal i will embark on a journey to launch a manned rocket into space. With me in it of course.

I first want a plane that would be cheep to operate and buil. Grat distance and comfort. And to meet S-SLA of the FAA.

i’ll do it

The first thing im thinkjingh about is what type of engine and where it will go. i wanna build this on the cheap so im thinking of a few lawnmower engines or a VW. Everywhere on the net is people saying that an airplane costs 80 000 and ten years so i dont know but it dont seem that hard to me. Any onme else doing this from scratch???

Im looking to build an airplane-like machine which would attach to a person’s body. In effect its simply an airplane with a prone and external cockpit. Im currently an civil engineering student but am only in my 2nd year and have yet to learn the specifics that would be required to complete a project like this. Does anyone have any links to where I can learn about what is needed to build an airplane? Im pretty familiar with the math and physics involved but very unfailiar with the engineering part.
