From what I remember, centering the clips is fine but I seem to recall that there's a difference of the clips in left vs. right wings based on the direction of the wing rib flanges. I remember trying to make things easy by making the clips, drilling them to #40, and then not messing with them until ...

Have you attached your tail yet? If not, it should be easy to add the needed parts. If the tail is on but the bottom not on yet it shouldn't be too bad. But yeah, it's a pain. We've been told that the stock tail is more than likely sufficient in terms of strength, but better safe than sorry.

That's awesome Robbie! For what it's worth, I'm also under the same "disease" (insanity?) in that I've really had fun on my build. That's neat to hear about your families Sonerai... I also know what that's like as I grew up with a fiberglass airplane kit being built in my garage. I think f...

I think I got mine from Wicks but if you have a good hardware store around give it a shot. I've found a lot of that kind of stuff in the gray hardware bins at Ace hardware... As long as it's the correct size and material you should be fine.

Hi Robbie,

I have a FlightLine FL-760 Comm radio and a FlightCom 403LSA intercom, both bought at Aircraft Spruce.

I'll hopefully give you a review of them soon, but so far so good. Both are very light, don't take much power, and were pretty inexpensive ;)

Well, I didn't get as much done this weekend as I was hoping, but was able to hit one more small milestone.

Here's a preview:

More to follow... ;)

When I was enlarging the openings in my seat for the full stick travel I didn't measure it...I just trimmed until it worked, but if I were to do it again I would probably take the aft line (the one that runs parallel to the wing spars) and extend it back 1.5-2" to start. Just mark new lines, gr...

Same here. I also riveted on a 0.032 doubler to the bottom of the seat where you stand to try and keep anything from getting bent.

If that was me (and it probably was) my apologies...

Oh yeah, I also did not go with landing lights but I think Duckworks makes a Sonex package. I didn't want to add the weight and I don't plan on a whole lot of night flying. If I ever need to add lights I'll probably fiberglass some housings into the cowling. If you decide to go with landing lights t...
