Awesome Scott! You gave me time to catch back up, we may yet finish at similar times.

Sounds like a plan. If that close to completion it would have forever bugged you to not have finished it.

The plane looks great. I missed your post about taking a hiatus. I am glad to hear you are going to complete the project. I hope to make it to Airventure 2016. It would be cool to see you and your plane there! I can't wait to hear about the first flight.

Anybody else that has a tri-gear have issues with the nose wheel pant? The mains were a tight (stretched) fit, but the nose pant would not fit over the attachment brackets at all. After my break on the project, I decided to just cut the whole thing in half, expand it to fit, lock this in with metal plates, then re-glass it back together. Got this accomplished last weekend.
Also getting closer to moving the plane back out to the airport. Have a hangar now ready to move in!

Boy that is one empty looking hangar. You seem to have more affinity to fiberglass than I do. I would have taken the easy path and converted it to tailwheel.

Hi Scott,
You have the flat sided nose wheel pant , with this you don't need brackets and it's suppose to be screwed directly to the struts,but so far I'm not sure exactly how to do it .

Ben:
How did you figure that out? I followed my plans and they still show making the wheel pant attachment bracket, which stick out past the nose gear axle bolt. Too late now to try and attach directly to the nose gear strut...LOL. Still don't see how that would work, as the bolt which forms the nose wheel axle has a head and nut/cotter pin the the wheel pant would have to cover.

Scott,
My plan doesn't show anything about brackets,I asked Sonex and that's what Kerry said.
Plan refers to ONX-..... But I haven't figure that out yet.
