It did say Planes in the forum title . . .

Beautiful work Mr. Wolf! My 4 year old granddaughter, my son, and I, took a ride in a R44 last summer, her first flight experience. We all loved it and it was cool to see the wonder and joy on her face. Great fun!

Thanks for the compliments.

I chronicled my experiences building and flying my helicopter if anyone is interested:

Haven't updated the website much since I started flying it.
 
Bought this 90% complete in 1994. Finished it up and had it flying in 6 months. Over the last 18 years have modified and upgraded it. New Radio, Transponder, Toyota Starter,
Alternator Kit, Scott tail wheel and so it goes on.
Model is a Hatz Bi-Plane built from plans powered originally by an Lycoming 0-290 but swapped it out a few years ago for an 0-320.
I have flown it to Oshkosh 3 times it now has 1000 hrs TT. I have taken so many people for plane rides I have lost count.
Never had anyone get out without a huge grin on there face.

Good looking Hatz, Joe. I just finished turning threaded plugs for the control tubes for a Hatz build in Texas.

I have a RANS S6ES I bought from a friend 6 years ago. Also built a Challenger II in 1995 that I flew for 13 years. I finally spent money on better tools to get the job done right. These things always need tinkering.

Beautiful Rans, Flip. I hear they are a joy to fly.

N3480h, you mentioned that you were running a VW type engine. Was your engine a car engine that you stroked and made provisions for two plugs per cylinder? Or, is this a purpose built aircraft engine that is a boxer?
Thanks
