Would a 100% disabled veteran be tax exempt from the taxes on an aircraft? Example. My home taxes and up to two vehicles are tax exempt as a disabled veteran but I was wondering if I would be exempt from paying taxes on an aircraft. Any information pertaining to this would be most appreciated...

Help guys, it's you old aggravating friend with more questions about the Rotax engine. I have decided that will be the engine that I was going to put into a Kitfox STI but that has changed as well. I am going to go with the Rotax 912 ULS (100hp), I just need to know the difference between the 2...

I have been searching engine options for an STI Kitfox that I am going to build. I'm not a huge fan of the Rotax engine because of the way it sounds. I've been looking at the Continental 0-200D but I am not sure if that will have the power that I am looking for (100hp). Any information you fine...

Question guys/girls. I'm dragging my feet on starting my PPL. I've been back and forth trying to decide to start with a tail wheel with stick and rudder or the 150. Any information or recommendations any of you can provide would be most appreciated. The pros and cons so to speak. I've done a...

Was wondering if the Cessna 172 would be the best plane to learn in or would a 150/152 be a better option? I had a guy who is teaching my dad to fly tell me today that the 172 isn't a good plane to learn in but he's the only person that I've ever heard say that. I have read great things about...

Any information that I should be on the look out for? Is a Cessna 172 a good plane to learn to fly? Is $175/hour wet w/ instructor reasonable? Also I have a great fear of the stall training portion of the lesson. Any information you guys could pass along would be greatly appreciated. A little...
