That's great work for your Troop Bryan. Not sure if all of boys will appreciate it, but I bet the adults and the patrol quartermaster and grub masters will thank you!

Thanks Scott! The boys liked it too.

Here is Adam riveting together the aft lower cabin details:


I know there are probably a few scratch builders who look at my premade parts and think I'm a sissy - rightfully so. But I am opting for Sport Trainer controls and I have to make those parts. Here is the layout:

And here it is cut out:

I still got it!

Here Adam is pilot drilling phenolic for the flap blocks. We have to make 3 for the sport trainer controls.


My first assembly for sport trainer controls- flap and brake detents.

Flap handle mounted, didn't find the spring in the kit. Where did you guys get yours? Lowes Depot?

The Hummelbird is waiting patiently in the background. Motorcycles too.

I got my flap handle spring from Sonex.

Thanks John! You don't remember what box it came in, do you?

Sorry I was in a hurry. So my answer was not complete.
The spring did not come with the kit. I had to order it from Sonex. I do not recall the part number. I think it was on my drawing. I can check tomorrow when I am back at my hangar.

I am loathe to admit you are making me feel more stupid than usual.

Flap handle spring?

John,
Thanks for the clarification! I can get the part number easily, as I can walk to my hangar. But now I know not to look for it!

Yes Robbie, I was looking for the flap handle spring.

I didn't know about this either... must be something only for the center-mounted flap handle?
