Baby Ace Model D
In 1956, Mr. Dzik once again helps to modify and re-engineer the Baby Ace Model C to create the Baby Ace Model D.  The Model D has a more modern design with contemporary tailfeathers.

When the Homebuilt Revolution was resurrected in the 1950s, with it came a demand for a two-seat homebuilt aircraft.  To satisfy this demand, the cabin of the Baby Ace Model D was widened to create the Junior Ace Model E in 1958.

The Junior Ace Model E can also be built with an optional nose wheel.

CNC Precision Manufacturing

While the history of Ace aircraft dates back to the 1920s, the manufacturing techniques used to build Ace aircraft are modern and very high tech.  Items such as fuselages, wings, and fuel tanks are manufactured using CNC processes which cut steel, aluminum, and wood to incredibly high tolerances.  As a result, welding is simplified, building time is reduced, and quality is improved dramatically regardless of whether you purchase a pre-cut fuselage and tail feathers to weld yourself or choose a tack-welded or factory-welded fuselage and tail-feathers.  CNC cut wing ribs also allow you to decrease your building time while giving you a lighter, stronger overall wing.

Wing Fuel Tanks

When Mr. Corben first built his aircraft, the fuel tanks were located in the wings and had a limited fuel capacity—usually less than nine U.S. gallons.  During the early 1950s when the Baby Ace and Junior Ace were revived, the redesigned aircraft had the fuel tanks in the fuselage between the instrument panel and engine.
Ace Aircraft has one again created wing fuel tanks for the Baby Ace and Junior Ace with each tank having a capacity of about 11.5 U.S. gallons each (about 23 U.S. gallons total).  Wing fuel tanks are standard equipment on the Junior Ace Super Sport models and are optional on all other Ace aircraft we sell.

Additionally, these wing tanks can be retrofitted to any previously built Ace aircraft whose wings were built according to the 1958 series of wing plans—mainly the Baby Ace Model D and the Junior Ace Model E.  Contact Ace Aircraft for details.

There will NOT be a ‘Super’ LaFerrari after all

Tue, 07 May 2013

Ferrari has been on the phone this morning to explain that the man from Autocar who spoke to LaFerrari’s chief designer, Flavio Manzoni, got hold of entirely the wrong end of the stick when discussing the design elements Ferrari didn’t use on LaFerrari. It seems Manzoni was explaining that during the design process for LaFerrari there were many design elements that couldn’t be included on LaFerrari, but were so good they wanted to keep them for use on future Ferraris. That was seized upon as confirmation that Ferrari were planning a ‘Super’ LaFerrari to sit above the new supercar at an even more extreme price.

The most expensive cars ever: Ferrari 250 GTO sells for $38 million

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

By Tim Pollard Motoring Issues 15 August 2014 10:19 A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta sold overnight for a record $38,115,000 (£22,528,626) at the prestigious Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction held during Monterey Car Week. At a stroke, the Ferrari has become the most valuable car in the world, overtaking the 1954 Mercedes W196 R F1 Racer which sold for $30m at an auction at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Tellingly, seven of the top 10 most expensive cars ever sold at auction were Ferraris (see our list below).

Opel Insignia Sports Tourer wagon spotted near GM's proving grounds

Wed, 17 Oct 2012

Just like my parents used to say, “You can't get anything by us, we have eyes everywhere.” Ominous threats aside, GM's European unit Opel tried to sneak an Insignia Sports Tourer station wagon onto the roads of Michigan. Luckily our roving eyes spotted the car--complete with turbo badges--and sent some photos back to the mothership. A wagon version of the European sedan has been spotted on Michigan roads before.
