I don't think you had an option on the pre-ordered kits. IF your not happy with it, I would be interesed...

FL. AV8r · 06-10-2008, 02:57 AM

Well, I guess I'll keep it. Heres what I got done in 2.5 hours....

MR G · 06-10-2008, 09:45 AM

Mine also came in and the covering scheme was not what I ordered.
I ordered the scheme that was shown on their web site!!! I got the same scheme as you.

I got as far as you did in the build and decided that the supplied hardware was not goona work(substandard).

I placed an order for new hardware and will replace ALL hardware. I found the build quality OK, but the covering was a little lacking.

I plan on using a TOC 3W-75 on mine, not yet mounted.

What do you think of the quality of build and materials?

I aggree 100% Mr G. Fuse looks strong... 10 hinges per aileron,,, I think the build quality is good. I spoke to Kevin yesterday.

FL. AV8r · 06-11-2008, 11:05 PM

Had to put my name on her.

Even though shes not the one I ordered,,, she'll be purrrrrty.

Still a nice scheme. Is that a 75cc Aeroworks ?

FL. AV8r · 06-12-2008, 12:42 PM

Yes, with a 3W 75, swingin' a Vess 26A

FL, AV8r,

My new hardware came in and I am ready to complete the pull-pull, but I have a problem.
I am having dificulty locating the slots in thr rear of the fuselage for the pull-pull wires.

have you found yours?? I hope they didn't forget to put em in there!!

I have the engine mounted (3W-75) and cowl cut-outs done. still need fine cut to allow for airflow to
escape the engine area. The 3W needed 1/2" of standoff to place the prop hub just perfect.

On one of the top cowl attachement holes(attached from fuse side) I have no reinforcement ply nor a blind nut. The bottom holes are ok and blind nuts are actually located in the fuse(attached from engine side).

So, what are your guys impression of the new fuselage technology? Are you guys going to actually do a build thread on this airframe, or is this it?

FL. AV8r · 06-13-2008, 12:28 PM

Well, I too cannot find the damn pull-pull wire holes in the fuse ! I removed the covering at the end of the fuse, used an inspection mirror to LOOK inside, didnt find it.

I need a drink !

FL. AV8r · 06-13-2008, 12:58 PM

Found it ! directly under the big hole. ;-)

It comes thru the hole drilled into former. You cant feel it from the inside.

Its 1 1/4 " from bottom of fuse.
