Its what I call em. Been a standing joke for as long as I can remember. But on serious note I know what is not right. Yep it's something I have done wrong.

Thanks Lyndon

Well that will be another day. Moving that compaired to working under the plane in the hole will be a breeze. I have noticed that with full flap my alerons are not as smooth as compared with zero flap. I've had a look and fiddled with it all. Seems like the hymen joints are at there max and complaining somewhat.

Lyndon

I'm after some fuel inlets for my carbs. Any thoughts. Really don't want new as prices are just over the top . A straight brass fitting would be fine but I believe its not a gas thread it's metric.

Lyndon

Thanks for that. Jumping ahead what limits the elevator travel.

I have fitted all the controls now. Quite an engineering marvel. All works perfectly and it fits

Lyndon

Gday. Does anyone have a used set lying around. I bought my engine used and I don't have them. They are way over priced new. Happy to pay a reasonable price.

Thanks Lyndon

Ps I couldn't find a sell and buy in the forums.

Do I fit bolts and lock nuts here. ?? Or is pretty much good for travel as is. I can't find anything in the manual.

Lyndon

I was thinking that. Pretty sure there won't be a next time but.

Lyndon

Well I riveted the right side. Bolted the left. With the nuts loose I placed the flapperon in position. Then did the nuts up. I couldn't rivet it as I only have the pneumatic one. If I did have an issue I would have a hell of time drilling them out. This way it can be removed easily. Well as easy as it will ever be.I now need a day off for back to recover

Lyndon

Ok will give it a go. The rivit gun actually fit ??. I will limber up and give it a go.

Thanks Lyndon

Rick the rod arrived. Thanks again

I have a question. I'm working in the hole under the plane and have just done all my fuel lines. I must admit this is a lot of fun ?? Oh to be young and fit. My manual states to rivet the brackets on. This is easy without the flapperon unit and impossible with it in place. Before I go and rivet the two brackets ?? They will I take it flex enough for the flapleron unit to be squeezed in between the two brackets.

Thanks Lyndon

Amazing. To begin with I thought something was wrong

Just aligned my pedals . After building it this far I just noticed when sighting up my front wheel the engine is of set about 20 mm. It occurs in the engine mount. Someone smarter than me will tell me why ???

Lyndon

Undercarriage works well

I'm not a painter but what I have learnt is make sure you have a decent size nozzle on your gun for the big parts when you want a nice finish. One dry and one wet will do the top coat. Also filter every bit of paint before going in the gun.

Lyndon

Excellent.

Wow interesting engine. Are you building that your self or buying one done ??

Every bit of my plane is primed in two pack. Have glued onto that. I don't know how much will dissapate but the glue is not light. I'm fitting a big prop. I'm sure it will be slow but it will climb. My thoughts are it will weigh what it will. Saying that I'm keeping every thing to a minimum

Lyndon

As per pic.

Carpet then pedals ??? I figure once it is synched down it will be fine ??

I bought a large spray can of sika adhesive. Quite surprised how little I got done with the can. At almost 20.bucks a can I got the sika in a one litre and now brush it on. It's actually better. Less mess cheap and and I dont have to mask up.

Sydney filters. They will post em to you. B7165

Some progress with the controls. My elevator rod was rubbing on my main reinforcement for the main wheels in the tunnel. After lots of deliberation I flattened it slightly. Very happy with the outcome. Fitting my carpet now. Nice to do something that is very straight forward and you can't get wrong

Lyndon

My rudder cables to my pedals have a Bush sc134 ??? Does any one have dimensions of this Bush. The photo in manual could not be more out of focus. It also has no mention of bolt size. Any help would be great.

Lyndon

Ps I know its wrong the way I have it

I have fitted the pedals and I'm very happy with the outcome. Keeping in mind I don't have a rudder yet ???. I can push the pedals in a either direction far to far. I would have thought a stop would be on the front wheel. I'm hoping there is a stop on the rudder and cables will be my stop left to right ???

Lyndon

Pedal positions. The pedals are positioned as per the adjustment on the steering arms. Any thoughts on where they should be for you who have been there done that. They seem to be pretty much at 90 degrees to the floor with the arms pretty much bottomed out. I'm fairly tall so I can make them further away a bit.
