RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

Bryan,

Congratulations on the maiden flight, your TC looks beautiful. I just ordered my second TC and this time I plan to use the new Zenoah ZP26 instead of the G20ei. The G20 did not have...

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

I also have the Taylorcraft with a Zenoah 20 ei and have been flying it about two years. I also feel that the plane tends to wallow and I have to fly it at full power continuously in order to have...

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

I will certainly post the results of this effort - I am also breaking in a DLE 30 installed on an Aero Works Cessna 195 and I rotate the planes so this effort might take a little longer than some...

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft
