Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex

Initial layup for the tailbeacon fairing. I wet sanded the 3D printed mold until it was smooth. Then I painted it, sanded some more, and covered it with thin plastic packing tape. I waxed the tape for release and laid up one ply to start.

Re: Cotton's Law

Excellent - another one is "it will be done next year." Believe it long enough and sooner or later it's true!

Re: Excessive Shaft End Play

Remove and replace. We had one 2x4 bolted to the case and one on the prop hub. With 2 people easy to do on the hoist that way.

Hmmm. This could be a potential deal-breaker.

Bummer. I'd say look at the big picture though. Can you find a CFI buddy to make the trip with you? Or someone insurable?

Bummer. I got around the insurance problem by going without for my first year. Then my insurance was reasonable.
