    Anyone ever heard of a Swift by Aeriane with heavier/tougher wings?

    I stumbled upon this aircraft and was told the wings are of a heavier, sandwich build, instead of the classic swift lite wings (the ones you can leave a dent on just by grasping at the wrong spot). I am trying to research about that version of a Swift, and all I found is a reference on...

    Can you ID this plane?

    Anybody know what this little single-seat taildragger is (not the RV)? I hear it's called the "Buckshot" but I can't find any information on that type (perhaps that is just the nickname the original builder gave it). I am told it shares some characteristics with a Swift (see leading-edge slots...

    Swift discussion

    Folks: I’ve spent the last 6 months at my school doing a senior engineering project that has ended up being a tailless pusher UAV small enough to be man-packable and capable of delivering a NATO 40 mm grenade round against enemy personnel. I have read up a lot about nurflügel aerodynamics...

    Swift vs Westach dual EGT

    Anyone have any opinions on the swift dual EGT and probes? My Westach had one probe die and during troubleshooting half of the gauge died. I can get a new Swift gauge and probes for just over $100, but the Westach is over $200. Opinions on either or both? TIA

    Two Konig 3-cylinder radial engines for sale! SC-430, one with redrive

    I am selling two Konig SC-430 engines. These are 3-cylinder radials, 2-stroke, 430 cc. They were acquired as part of a multi-aircraft purchase and were formerly used to power a SWIFT motorglider. I have no plans to use these engines, so they are for sale. Parts and new engines available from...

    How to build a better Swift?

    Hi all, Thank you for reading my post. I will start with a little about me. I have been flying one form or another aircraft for 35 years. Everything from a Huey to a hang glider plus tons of R/C planes. Yes I got the bug early as a boy. I am an engineer but NOT an mechanical or aerodynamic...
