I'm thinking ahead. About to zip up the right wing. I believe it has no add ons. Looking ahead the left wing has the pitot tube and light. To all you builders do I need the light. why would I ever need it. Lyndon
-
Thanks Lyndon
-
Is this correct. Manual is not overly clear and pics on builds I can't really see. Lyndon
-
Thanks will do Lyndon
-
Will have a look. By memory someone is using orings Lyndon

Getting somewhere on the first wing. The second will take about 10 mins. I'm sure there are parts that arnt even mentioned in the manual. Then in the parts list are incorrect. But it all makes sense as I build it. Question. In the real world when I use a sealer on the fuel outlets after drilling the plastic tanks. Does any one have a preferred sealer when they look back with experience. I'm expecting to seal these tanks up for many years with zero issues. Thanks Lyndon

Before I close up the wings. I see some people have lights or strobes. I don't need these to legally fly the plane. Lyndon
-
Yes I believe so
-
Makes sense. Thanks will give it a shot on the weekend. Lyndon

Excellent. Now the three skins on each wing. Can I rivet the the top. The bottom. Then the front. Or do need to divide all the clecos up for all three. It should rivet up perfectly one at a time but in practice I'm sure this won't work. Thoughts ??? Lyndon
-
I'm.jumping the gun here. But what stops it flapping around. Also obviously I just rivet up the blank holes Lyndon
-
Thank you. When I get to the bottom skin is the same applied. Thanks Lyndon
-
I take it these two angulars are not not fitted with the long range tanks ??? Lyndon
-
All done. Now to do the top filler holes
-
Well will have to drill the hole out as one will be inverted with the lip inwards. Won't be an issue. Ta

Thoughts. I see some people rivnut these panels on. Seems like a lot of riv nuts. Lyndon
-
About to cut. Now before I do. What are these holes used for. I have three the same out of the four. I'm thinking it should be two and two. If they are just a vent I'm sure it doesn't matter. Lyndon
-
Great just priming all the skins and hopefully on the weekend get cutting and riveting. Lyndon
-
The 10 mm hole that has to be moved is the existing one I take it. Lyndon
-
Thanks will do that
-
Thanks for. I feel a lot better about cutting it now. It's something you don't want to get wrong. Lyndon

Wings and long range tanks. I have bought the long range tanks. About to skin the wings. Any tips. I'm thinking skin the top as per manual. Dummy fit the tanks and cut the filler hole. Then rivet up the top skin. Flip it over and fit the bottom skin. With the tank in place I can then cut it accurately. Basically dummy fit up. Common sense then cut. Any tips would be great. Nothing in the manual re the long range tanks. Thanks Lyndon

Does anyone know the torque settings for tha case bolts. Or where I can them. Seems to be nothing on the net where I'm looking. Lyndon

Camshaft. After many sleepless nights I'm getting the cam reground along with the lifters. At 150 bucks it cheap and it's done properly. It's very little work to get it out with none or very little cost in parts. As you see it's pretty good. It looks worse than it is as you can only just feel spalling. Strangely it's only on the rear lobes there is wear. Lyndon
