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.

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...

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...

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....?

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

Thoughts?
Recommendations?

No, I have not looked on Craigslist but a good suggestion.
Looking forward to the manual.
Thanks

Wanted: Split Axle Landing Gear I don't know how to weld / would like to learn but no classes anywhere near me. Don't have any equipment. I don't have a good location even if I did.

Will these be available at Brodhead?

I'm a long way from needed but would like to go ahead and get a set. How does one go about doing?

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...

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...

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 ...

Wasn't sure where to post this. Just signed up for newsletter and I noticed AFTER I sent the PayPal payment that it shows the address correct but the country as United Kingdom. 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...
