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. Lyndon

Thanks for that. I have all the fittings except for my carbs and fuel pump as I got a used 100 hp. Lyndon
-
What are you guys using for the carby fuel line outlets by 2. Just an ordinary brass barb with some sealer ???. My Rotax manual lists nothing really. I did read that the fuel lines to the pump is 5/16 and from there it's 1/4 to the carbs. Thoughts ?? Lyndon
-
Think it's not going in. Well at least for now. Lyndon
-
Does anyone fit this. Apart from a cigarette lighter slash charger what else goes in it and is it relevant in 2016. Lyndon

You make mention of not getting the hole in the rear correct affects the stick position. The arm has stops and riv nuts ( I can't find what goes in them yet ) which I guess had a bolt and lock nut. You then set the alerons at a said value ( I did find that in the book ) with the bolts on the stopping plates. I would suggest there must be enough adjustment to center the stick and still get your set values. Like setting the toe in on your car and still having you steering wheel centred. I am jumping ahead here as not at this stage Lyndon

It was factory drilled. I didn't do it. Saying that I probably would not have done a much better job. I do know I can't fix it as it will only be worse. Your idea of the sleeve is a good one but. It's a very sloppy joint when the bolt is in anyway so I'm going to fit it up and see how it is. It's only the flap rod. Hopefully will have it fitted in the next few days after some painting and see how she goes. I wonder what the chances are of getting a sleeve that will be the correct size ??? Lyndon

With no lenses

Doesn't make for a nice fit. Mmm. Lyndon

Same guy who welded my torque tube drilled this hole.
-
On my torque tube fitting on the rear cabin area where the reo plate is fitted with the nylon Bush ???. In this place I found another reo angle in my kit that is not listed in my manual. Clearly an upgrade during manufacturing. Keeping in mind mine is an early planes about 2008 or 9 i believe. I do see on some buiks that in this area two angular pieces are on each side of the torque tube and run forward the rear of the cabin. I dont have these and guess it's a later upgrade. This area does have flex and would benefit from some further reinforcement. Any light that can be shed on this would be great. Lyndon

Thanks. I'm sure it will be fine.Lyndon
