Classic Aero-TV: Kitfox Upgrades Back-Country Undercarriage

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): Acme Aerofab Black Ops Gear and Suspension Impress

The viability of a backcountry aircraft is a function of numerous purpose-built components and systems functioning synergistically in service of utility and occupant safety. To at least the same degree as a robust airframe and a reliable powerplant, a rugged, resilient landing-gear system determines the fitness of an aircraft design for the rigors of backcountry flying.

Aero-News: Quote of the Day (07.05.25)

“GAMA appreciates the hard work that was put forth by Congress in the budget reconciliation package to grow and strengthen aviation manufacturing leadership and the overall aviation ecosystem. While more investment is needed, this bill provides a much-needed downpayment for modernizing the U.S. air traffic control system. It also provides tax incentives that allow for general aviation manufacturers to further champion innovation and safety, support jobs and spur economic growth. These tax incentives provide a catalyst for U.S. aerospace manufacturers to continue to lead on a global scale and contribute to our industry’s positive trade balance.” Source: James Viola, President and CEO of GAMA, who issued a statement regarding the aviation-related provisions in the final passage of the budget reconciliation bill that retained multiple provisions intended to promote the growth and sustainability of the nation’s aviation industry as well as revamp and upgrade the technologies and infrastructure

Classic Aero-TV: Timber Tiger Touts Curtiss Jenny Replicas

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): First Kits to Ship October 2023 

Having formerly resurrected the storied shape of the Ryan ST—in effigy, anyway—Montrose, Colorado-based Timber Tiger Aircraft has plied its considerable expertise and experience to the revival of the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company’s JN-4—a World War I-era biplane known colloquially by generations of pilots and aviation enthusiasts as the Curtiss Jenny, or simply, Jenny. In point of fact, Timber Tiger has purchased the rights to sell Dennis Wiley’s Early Bird Jenny design as a kit. It should be noted, however, that while Wiley’s Early Bird Jenny was a 67-percent scale replica of Curtiss’s 1915-vintage military-training biplane, Timber Tiger’s kitted Jenny is a 75-percent scale facsimile.
