Hi Itai,

I am almost out of patience....
that is how it is at the ned of every project.

Here are some more pics of the final stages:
the white paint trim on the cowl - good match. I was nervous about it at first.
Also - tailwheel assmebly, rudder servo instalation with home made offset horn.

Cheers for now,

Ziv

Hi Itai,

Thanks..
At this moment, the price tag on the plane is too high ..... too many work hours ...
and I have no intensions to sell it, not in the near future anyway.
As for the Arava - If I will be invited, I will be happy to come with it.

Best regards,
Ziv

Hi Guys,

Easy on the god issue, you know he moves in mysterious ways....

I had a rough couple of weeks at work so not much time for progress but this weekend I will move forward.
still to do:
engine instalation - currently running on the bench
engine servo instalation
cowl cutting
power issues - powerbox VS power expander (what do you think?)
small stuff - stickers, canopy screws etc.

5-6 hours of work.

Pics coming soon.

Ziv
