Hi all
finally finished the canopy fitting, canopy fits the bulkhead perfect,safety locking mechanism is concealed in the side canopy arms, and it is now down off the mezzanine ,starting the wing spars today below are some fuse pics
How many forum users have met each other at some time? So far i have met 3 ,Bacon,Compulsion,and a guy called colin (building a cheetah) met John (compulsion) in adelaide had a beer and chat its good to put a face to the many users on the forum. cheers gareth
Hi Bruce
are the tanks poly?,we did make a alum tank for our front fuse ,but changed it for the same tank as yours ,this allowed us space for the canopy actuator to be installed
good progress on your build
Cheers gareth
for all you weight concious people we added 1.7 kilos for the actuator and mechanism all aluminium
wew have a video of the canopy opening but i cant seem to load it ,anyhelp ?
cheers gareth
my wife had TIF with Garry Morgan and came back with a big smile on her face ,she thought that light aircraft were to bumpy ! she now wants to do a "wife of pilot course " to better understand LSA but insists that i fly for at least 12 months before she will go up with me ,ah well only 14 months to goLOL
Hi Kevin
Thanks ,yes the conduit over the tank is for electrical wiring, dual throttles engine probes heat probes,remote brake master cylinder etc and any other things we may put in .
how is the wing build coming?any problem in the building of these? we should start our wings after we fit the canopy (next week pick up) our canopy is tinted and wider than normal i just hope that we get it right first time!!
any way cheers for now Gareth
LOL ha ha yellow safety rails slide out, long tynes on fork lift, table as well as airplane will be lifted down .work space is utilising space above our heads we pay for it so built the mezz to work on , it will come in handy for storage later on
Cheers Gareth
