hi joe im using a 100 hp corvair already installed i have all steam gauges flight intercom a hand held comm radio and for nav for now a airmap 500 by lowrance they discontinued it so after a while i will get something more up to date right now im getting ready to install the flaperon brackets on the wing joe
I am really enjoying the build..So far everything seems to be going well. It seems that for every hour of building, I have done three hours of filing sharp edges,burrs, etc..etc. and then add the prep for priming and on and on and on...but it will be worth it after that ride in the Demo at Zenith.
Thanks, This was the hardest part for me the paint scheme and colours. I search long and hard to try and get it just right and I think I got it. It gives the fuselage a roundish look to it. And yes go ahead if you like the look.
Joe,
Welcome to the group. You will find that it is very helpful as you move through the process. My best advice to new builders is to buy lots of clecos and find some Scotch Brite wheels to help in duburring. The ones I use were purchased at Oshkosh during the show and I got them in the flea market area. They fit on the end of a drill and are perfect for deburring edges. When I find the source, I'll e-mail you.
