Badland Part 103 Pilots and Builders Forum

I have a lot of pics of it flying at Oshkosh but have never done u-tube, so I’ll have to see if I can down load some to here. Might have to get Grand kid help! I know there were a lot of others taking video so I figured they would show up by now.

This was my third time at Oshkosh and by far the best. Mostly because my Badland was there as a favor to Chris. About a week before, he called and said the covering for the new plane hadn’t come in so at the last minute we decided that he should take mine to have a example of a flying plane,and one ...

Wow. Thats. a lot of hours of work and dedication represented in those pictures. I like your “new” wing room! That must really help keep things rolling. Keep up the outstanding work and its good to see the details of what happens at the Badland factory

I also signed and donated but as I did I had the feeling that I had sighed before. I wish there was a way to check on that but decided it was better to sign it twice then not at all.

HI Tom. Seems to be quite a few of us with a similar story to yours. Dreamed of flying for a long time and life got in the way and now building a ultralight type airplane is the answer to that dream. I wish I had discovered the Badland before I acquired a powered parachute (with a rotax that needs w...

Maybe off topic of trailer build ,but I found the pic of Chris’ latest (I think) tailwheel which I really liked. Maybe looks too heavy but my bird is a little fat anyway. Chris advised learning to land on the one I have because it’s smallness and shortness could save the day from a ground loop on th...

Hi Peer. In regard to the carbon fiber tailwheel spring, it was an upgrade option from Badland on the f-4. This plane was built in Las Vegas before Badland moved to Minnesota. If I got the story right from Chris it was just before your kit. or right after yours and it went to a customer in S.Dakota....

Hi. I am trying to include a couple of photos of my Badland on a trailer as Chris (of Badland) loaded ,secured and hauled it to Truman from S. Dakota. This plane has made this trip several times on this trailer and then to my place 2 hr north when I bought it. At this point it has been trailer much ...

Thanks for the response and the information. I did remember the you were getting a kit and not a ready to fly Badland but only after I had hit send! But it would still be fun to meet at Badland when you pick up the kit or when you fly it back to Minnesota at a later date. Will be watching for your b...

Todd enjoyed the cloud Ahoy video very much. I need to look up where to get that app on my phone. I am currently trying to get back up with my local CFI in a 152 or even the 172 just to try and keep the lesson I had almost a year ago from going to waste. They seem so reluctant to spend time with som...

My name is Gary and I have been on this forum for. some time but have never written a intro I am a retired farmer(still help the next generation) and always wanted to fly. I took lessons many years ago but never soloed. I also was involved in RC flying. I looked at PPC and an almost ready to cover 2...
