Welcome to the Wolf W-11 Boredom Fighter web site.  Obviously, not a commercial operation, this site is here to provide support and information to anyone flying, building, or contemplating the building of the Wolf Boredom Fighter.

The Boredom Fighter is a unique custom (or homebuilt) aircraft constructed entirely from wood.  Actually, there's quite a number of steel fittings, but generally, it's all wood.  The usual engine is the trusty Continental A-65 (C-65) but Subarus and larger Continentals have been successfully installed.

The flying characteristics of this aircraft are just pure fun.  No, it's not a great cross-country machine, but there is no better for chasing the cows and watching the world go by.  Pure flying fun!

As with any custom aircraft, half the fun is just building the machine.  Average build times are 4-5 years.   There is one individual building who's beyond 10 years but that's another story. Now, if you're not too fond of sawdust, then maybe this is not the project for you. On the other hand, if the thought of working with cold metal on a winter night brings shivers, then woodworking may just be your thing!

Hopefully  you will enjoy this site dedicated to a unique aircraft. ..so sit back and take a peek at all the pictures and information on this true

	6 Mar 07 Ellis BF Pics
Wow! Almost a whole year between updates. Unfortunately, there just isn't much going on with the Boredom Fighters these days. Other than a couple guys making steady progress on the Yahoo! Forum, I don't hear a lot of news. Luckily I was looking through some old e-mail and came across some really nice photos Matt Ellis sent last year of his Boredom Fighter in-flight over Colorado which I've uploaded to the Ellis BF page.   Also, if you haven't seen the video, there's finally a short video of a Boredom Fighter - Fly Baby flight on YouTube, courtesy of Ron Wantajja.   Finally, I've re-added the link to the Yahoo! Boredom Fighter Forum. If you're not a member, you'll need to join the group for posting messages.

	10 Mar 06 Ellis BF For Sale
Matt Ellis (Colorado) has decide to put his BF up for sale as his needs have changed a bit and he's looking for a 2-seater. There's about 50 hours on the aircraft and it is an award winner. Please contact Matt at ellisw11@hotmail.com for details. This is probably one of the nicest Boredom Fighters around with low-time airframe and engine.

This is a pretty cool mapping engine powered by Google's API's into their mapping engine. You can easily add your name and zipcode, plus a photo of your Boredom Fighter. Appears to work well.

Added a nice photo of Michel Roba's new Boredom Fighter to the Builders page.
	6 Sept, 05..... Some Updated Stuff
Man, one day this whole site is going to be revised, however, due to job, child, and other time consuming events, things don't quite get updated as frequently as they should.     Old updates have been moved to a separate page to de-clutter this page. See link at left.     Although Matt Ellis has yet to personally fly is BF, his airplane is flying well in Colorado.  He reports the plane is flying great, and the restriction is flown off.  Everyone who flies it loves it.  The plane has rolled right and left, looped, and spun 3 turns each direction and Matt plans on taking it to Oshkosh in '06.    Bill Sayre flew his BF with a Continental C-85 installed earlier this summer. See link for some views of Bill's Boredom Fighter. After a couple short flights he reports "Cruise speed appears like it will be 100 MPH or better, but I have little time on it with the cowl installed (85 without cowl). Imagine that it'll be a little lower than stock with all that frontal area. I've added two exit holes per side, low down on what I call the "cheeks" of the cowl and I'm adding a small flap or ridge at the lower cowl exit (like the prints call out on the stock version). Also blocking the hole where the prop-shaft penetrates the cowl to keep that air from neutralizing the low pressure area under the engine. Hopefully, all that will prove what was needed to get the air flowing.    Boredom Fighter 264JP has been relocated to the Seattle Area due to a job change. Picture of Mt. Rainier was taken inbound to Auburn, WA.
	13 Dec, 04..... Updated Pictures
That's right, the date changed! It snowed in Phoenix, and this site actually has an update.     The picture at left was taken from a Boredom Fighter with a Palm Treo 600 camera phone. It seems to take OK pictures but you wouldn't want to blow them up very large.   Bill Sayre, Gig Harbor, WA, is getting really close to flying his BF. In the photo above, he's building a round cowl and had created an interesting paint scheme. He's taxied the BF but is waiting on some decent weather to fly.
