...acknowledgement that many of the safe, modern gyroplane designs coming from Europe really can’t be flown here unless they are built and certificated under the Experimental/Amateur-Built rules. Since those designs...
E/AB Accident Rate Drops to Historic Lows
Fatal accidents in experimental category aircraft, particularly amateur-built aircraft, continued their decline during the Federal Aviation Administration’s 2017 fiscal year that ended September 30, falling to historic lows. For the...

Error Chain
There is a reason the FAA requires a minimum test period for Experimental/Amateur-Built aircraft—test flights don’t always go as planned. For aircraft with an approved engine/propeller combination, the Phase 1...
Belite Chipper Faster with Increased Useful Load
The performance numbers for Chipper, the experimental two place airplane kit from Belite Aircraft, have been updated, providing large gains in airspeed, climb rate, and range over previously released figures....
Automotive Plugs in Lycomings
...are mandatory, the Experimental world is quickly leaving them behind in exchange for the ubiquitous BR8ES automotive spark plug because so many builders and owners are switching to electronic ignition...
Building the eXenos
...to accommodate a 46-foot wingspan. While traditional gliders are usually designed to have easily removable wings, the Xenos is not quite so simple to disassemble, so you can’t simply pull...
All About Avionics, Part 7
