Do you have a runway?

do you live in the midwest? if so plenty of spots too use

having different interests most likely

Piper cubs really can't carry that much. After you get in and bring your gear, there's not much room left for weapons.

>>34557470
For what purpose? The Tamil Tigers could field this because at one point, they managed to create a quasi-country, complete with postal service. But like most guerrilla uprising trying to turn legit, the moment you have fixed emplacements and infrastructure, you became easy target for conventional forces.

The FAA.

/k/ doesn't fear the ATF, only the FAA.

>>34557470
Go the ultralight route, instead. Build a 2 seater. The pilot does all of those steely-eyed, square-jawed things the pilots do while the other guy focuses on managing the flock of homebuilt drones that accompany the ultralight. If you can build an ultralight you can mass produce generic drone airframes. Slap a mission package and power pack into a drone body and away you go. Load it up with ANFO and a couple of cell phones for nav, now you have a cheap and slow cruise missile.

Is it legal to build your own plane?

>>34557470
do you
(a. now how to build a plane?
(b. know how to make a bomb that can detonate on impact?

never fly a small aircraft that has low-wings.
they're called doctor killers for a reason.
Cessna 172s are the easier aircraft to fly in the world because of their high-wings. They can pull themselves out of a fall and can easily be taken out of a tail spin.
a low-wing aircraft will simply plummet to the ground.

>>34557470
>>34557470
nothing. if your question is whats stopping /k/ommandos, then the answer is money. literally everyone here lives off their parents and either plays video games all day or collects anime figurines with their allowance money

>>34561915
>Cessna 172s
they are so ugly though. low wings are more aesthetic

>>34561915
How hard is it to learn to fly low winged airframes? And you know... not go splat.

>>34561915
This man knows.
Plus you can rig something with a string to detach a payload from high wings and have visual confirmation.

>>34561940
Yeah, They are ugly. but you seriously cannot get a safer, better aircraft for beginners, or general leisure flying.
>>34561938
With proper training they are easy to fly, but Also very easy to go into a tailspin or a fall that is simply irreversible.
I have flown them and honestly a single piston aircrafts with low-wings are so fidgety and scary. even skilled pilots crash them constantly. seriously go look at small aircraft fatalities. 95% of them are all low-wing.

Nothing is stopping people.

People have done it, actually.

Back during Jim Crow there was this massive race riot in... some city that I forgot.... where there was a white guy that took a private plane up with makeshift incendiary bombs and dropped them on a black neighborhood.

I'll see if I can find more info.

>>34561981
Found it. Wasn't just one guy either, more like half a dozen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot

>Numerous eyewitnesses described airplanes carrying white assailants, who fired rifles and dropped firebombs on buildings, homes, and fleeing families. The planes, six biplane two-seater trainers left over from World War I, were dispatched from the nearby Curtiss-Southwest Field outside Tulsa.[23] Law enforcement officials later stated that the planes were to provide reconnaissance and protect against a "Negro uprising".[23] Eyewitness accounts, such as testimony from the survivors during Commission hearings and a manuscript by eyewitness and attorney Buck Colbert Franklin discovered in 2015, said that on the morning of June 1, men in the planes dropped incendiary bombs and fired rifles at black residents on the ground.[23][5]

>>34557470
homemade planes are pretty popular though, they are usually built from kits but sometimes from scratch

it needs quite a lot of work and skill to built one from scratch, even assembling a kit isn't easy

iirc some small company sold kits/blueprints to build a plane using aluminum ladders, lol. it still exists but they use specially constructed aluminum frames instead, the manufacturers of the ladders weren't happy

Goto EAA website They have Fly-ins with thousands of Homebuilts. Lots of support and love for folks wanting to build their own

what about a pulse jet plane
>more powerfull and easyer to build engine
>can use different fuel like petrol diesel and various alcohols
the only drawback i see is that they are a bit more dengerous

I participated in the Warbirds WWII living history camp last year

P-51s were my alarm clock and had probably the best parking in the show and paid no admission

Nah they're simple to make but I think they'd be difficult to engineer a large reliable one without a heap of testing and trial and error.

You can get an ls crate motor which have been around forever and make 500 hp for like 8k

Mazda rotaries are actually used in some aircraft. Haven't read about anything shitting themselves out in mid-air.

I looked into 13b swapped aircraft, and apparently when they do shit themselves, they just lose most of their power instead of grinding to a halt.

>>34567904
Also, aircraft sound like the ideal place for a dorito. You're going to redline at least once every time you use it, and you're not rapidly changing the throttle.

>>34561996
damn where were those planes when you needed them in baltimore and fergusson

>>34567143
not necessarily with hard points tho

just a few pipe bombs in the back seats.

i mean it can carry burgers so...

Why not get a proper light attack plane?

>>34562987
Using converted car engines for an aircraft is asking for trouble. Dedicated aircraft engines are designed to be run at full throttle for hours on end, they are relatively large displacement and make power at low RPMs, like 3000 RPM max, except for some that use reduction drives, although that is not really done anymore for reliability reasons.
