Is there an off the shelf radiator that works . Maybe a small tractor such as the 8N , or a small car radiator ? I know that we are limited as to the size and I hate to have the expense one custom built.

Depending on other obligations, I might try it this week, or early next week. Please check back with me, if I don't respond.

Enormous amount of info there. If you want to look at plans, flying and glider manual reprints are available through EAA website Construction pretty straightforward but this is an airplane you are building. It's a long-term project but very satisfying. If you are married get the wife on board or it won't happen if you're not married consider marrying the project because that's what kind of devotion it takes. Although they have been built in the space equivalent to a single car garage you really need more space shop organization is critical although you don't really need that many tools You really can learn a lot more on the West Coast Piet site and the archives of this site than any one person can tell you.

Performance is about the same, construction is about the same (give or take one set of controls), cost to build and operate will be about the same. Not criticizing your decision... just wondering.
