HOLY CRAP....that was a lot of typing. Hope I didn't lose myself and forget anything.

GOOD LUCK

Oh one more thing.

I like to install a dowel through the rear wing retention block so that it protrudes out of the wing by about an inch. Then the correct size hole has to be drilled in the fuse for the dowel to fit in. What this does is it lines up the bolt holes so you don't have to "FISH" to find them. Obviously this dowel has to be install precisely and PARRALLEL to the wing tube AFTER the incidence is set. The easiest way is to mount the wing to the fuse and CAREFULLY drill through the fuse and into the wing...again making sure you are parallel to the wing tube.

CALL CARDEN THEY WILL HELP WITH PLANS BUT CAPT 232 IS RIGHT I HAVE ONE THEY FLY GREAT

[CAPtain232]

I wouldn't be so sure that you can get plans from CARDEN..... Dennis is pretty picky who he sells just the plans to. He would sell plans to someone that is in his database for having that particular plane, but the only way to get in the database is to buy the plane from him.

I build planes professionally, so I can appreciate the guys that need a skilled builder.... Most of the pro builders are good guys and TRULY underpaid. Figure up what you make in 200 hours at work..... That is roughly what it would take me to build one from start to finish.... I could do it faster if building planes is all that I did, but typically I work a 40 hour a week job, take care of all the stuff that everyone else does (like mowing the yard ETC). So it is really only on week ends that I can spend more than a steady 4 hours a day on the build. I usually do 16 hours a day on week ends.

I enjoy building as much as I do flying. I just hope I can do it until I feel like I don't want to anymore
