Wow is that going to be awesome! :shock: I would have done the same thing but I couldn't afford it :mrgreen:

Just out of curiosity, which transponder are you thinking? Are you also installing an autopilot? B

I'm very jealous!! :D

I'm fairly certain mine was the same way. That way, both hinges were parallel when you insert the hinge pins to lock the seat in place. Just mark and remove the unused part of the hinge and you're good to go!!

Hey guys, Hopefully I'll have a first flight report soon, but in the meantime I wanted to post a few new pics. I've been messing with painting some pieces and now have the cowling and wheel pants finished. Actually, I need to polish the pieces but I'm going to let them dry for a few weeks before I s...

The wings are looking great Robbie! Was your tech counselor able to stop in and take a look? I wish I would have gone with the Duckworks system...it looks really sleek!

Hopefully you'll have the frame riveted up in no time! Are you doing both wings at once?

Once the spars are assembled I can't think of any reason why you can't join them and drill. I did that before I started fitting ribs.

Those look great Kip. It looks like you've made a great start on the next project. Are all the ribs the same on both wings? I've heard both wings are built on a large flat table...sounds like fun! How about the spars...pre built or are you doing them too?

That looks great, especially since it came from a can! I screw up spray painting every time... I'm about as far from an expert as they come, but here's what I discovered after test painting a few pieces of scrap aluminum... -make sure everything is really clean before starting -lots of lights help ...

Hello All, I hope everyone is hard at work on their projects. I've been working on mine and have been trying my hand at painting after reading a lot of stories and tips on the mothership Yahoo groups. Since I only want to paint a little bit of my plane I thought I would see how the old Rustoleum rat...

I think I ended up using one or two thin sheets of paper to make mine just a little snug and to ensure there was no "slop" in the assembly. I tried to do that with most of the brass bushings found throughout the airframe going under the assumption that the bushings would loosen up just a f...

I guess this is my .02 cents, so take it for what it's worth, but if I were to do things over I would follow the directions and not updrill anything until you fit the wings. If you updrill now you may save 20 minutes when you fit the wings, but you also run the risk of elongating holes (which would ...
