Re: control stick travel
So what I’m hearing is there is enough travel “between your knees “ that you don’t have to worry about the travel in the seat cutout.

control stick travel
Just finished the controls and test fit in the fuselage and I notice when the control (stick) is all the way to the left, the tube that connects the two control sticks hits the cutout in the back of the front seat. I can't really cut out the opening any because it will cut into the wood bracing. Eve...

attaching post hinge?
Bottom rudder hinge that attaches to the post. The countersink hole in the hinge is 100degree. Using/finding stainless mach bolts for all the other hinges has not ben a problem but since I cannot get to the backside of this one hinge, how are you'all attaching? Have not been able to source a stainle...

Re: stabilizer turnbuckle
Understand. The only reason I'm using 1/8" is because thats what I've got. Just trying to save some $$. However, if bigger/stronger turnbuckles cost more to offset the cost of the smaller cable, then....?

stabilizer turnbuckle
Sorry if this has already been addressed but I have been unable to find.
Using 1/8" cable for stabilizers but unable to figure out the correct turnbuckle to use.
Here is my guess: AN393 / MS20392-17
Too expensive to guess though.
Thoughts?
Recommendations?

Re: Sitka Spruce
I did end up biting the bullet and purchased the fuselage kit from Aircraft Spruce. I must admit, the quality of the wood I received is top notch. Packing / crating was also very well done. I was concerned that all that soft wood would get damaged in transit but this was so well protected I don't th...

plywood cut sheet ?
Ok, so a group of us at Chapter 132 are helping me with my Piet project. Fuselage kit is from Aircraft Spruce which included two sheets of 1/8" 4' x 8' mahogany plywood. We are at the point to cut the gussets (and other various pieces) and although it appears that the gussets are simply "c...

Sitka Spruce
Is there a source of 1" Spruce from anyplace other than Wicks & Aircraft Spruce? Nothing against either of these companies, I'm just weighing my options. I have some very nice 3/4" x 12" but have not been able to find any 1" for the Longerons. Hoping to find something not so ...

If you see an address show up for Indiana it is not UK but the USA. Figured someone would notice and assume but ya never kn...
