  1. Keeping the oil off the prop would make sense, especially with a wooden prop. As for more "conventional" birds, I think Kent has it right about keeping the oil off the belly. You don't see them on, say, a 172S, but will on a Cirrus SR22. I think it's more for appearance than anything.
  2. Oh, I'm not planning on using a homebuilt for that. We've got a quartet of 172S trainers at the field and as an employee, I get a pretty steep discount on lessons. Homebuilt is definitely a long-term goal, as I know it'll take time to build, and I can build proficiency in more "conventional" planes in the meantime.
  3. Hi, all. Stumbled across this corner of the internet recently and decided to join. I'm an A&P at Ankeny Regional Airport (KIKV), and currently eyeing getting my private license once finances permit, followed by possibly building a bird of my own. While that's still a number of years out, there's no reason to not pick up wisdom and tricks from subject matter experts, right? I've always had a fascination with canard aircraft, to the point where my chosen plane in Digital Combat Simulator is a Saab AJS37 Viggen. (Delightfully fun bird to fly, btw. Very responsive, but not overwhelming. A true pilot's plane, imo).
