Ha, I forgot about this..... At 2600 hours, I started hearing a rattling sound, turned out my muffler had shed it internals, thus the noise. A simple...

No

I agree with most of this, however the part about finding a mechanic that agrees with you; not so much. Yes, it’s good to have a mechanic you can...

I have some ideas on how to tie it in, id like to get the top deck done so I can get the top stringer in place as that will dictate a lot of where...

Looking good, and looking familiar ;) The fin stands out to me. I'll be interested in seeing how you tie it in. Are you extending the horizontal...

I got the vertical fin pretty much done today, I left the leading edge long for now until I figure out the forward mount. used on of my high...

Here's 3/4" per shackle.

Thanks for the advice. As for starting my with the horns centered, I feel like that’s essentially what one does by putting the horn at the physical...

I could use those if nobody has claimed them. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org

Check that the bellcranks in the wing are in the neutral position before you start. Adjust the length of the pushrods so that the ailerons are in...

Can the stock muffler be pulled out without swinging the engine?

They were under to begin with. Control cables are an absolute last resort. Currently removing a link at the control horn and fabricating new...

Did you check the travel before you started working on it. Might have been off before you started. Start from scratch and right the wings then...

are you sure about 25. I thought it was more like 15 down.

Me, I'd be shy landing on a narrow mountain strip in the rain in a loaded 185 regardless of tire.:smile:

I agree, given how far apart they are, synchronized strobes aren't that helpful, but they look kinda cool.
