Virago Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Hi everyone! I've been watching these forums for some time now and following everyone's progress. As a result, I have just ordered the basic kit to build a Morgan Sierra 100. I am a retired radio LAME and have been a private owner (in the past) for many years. This will be my first homebuilt project and I can't wait for the kit to arrive. John.
Neil_S Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Virago! Keep us posted on your progress with building your Sierra, anddon't be shy about telling us all a bit more about yourself! Cheers Neil
Piet Fil Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Welcome Virago, Look forward to hopefully seeing some photos of your build as it comes along.
Guernsey Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Congratulations Virago and welcome to this site, I presume you have read all the posts in the Morgan Aeroworks forum where you will find a lot of useful information. Where in Australia are you located? Alan Marriette.
Virago Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I'm based in Port Kennedy. W.A. and only a 20 minute drive from Serpentine airfield. I'll certainly keep a running blog during the construction. The only modification (if I can call it that) will be to fit electric flaps and probably Matco wheels and brakes. I'll be sticking with the fuselage tank ... I'll be needing a visit to the loo long before a visit to the bowser ... lol! I plan to fit the Jabiru 2200 as the object is to get back into the air ... not to set any new speed records! Cooling will be a matter of paramount concern during the firewall forward stage of construction. I will stay with the centre control stick as I feel quite at home with that having learnt to fly in a Victa 115 back in 1970. I have previously owned and flown a Beech Sundowner (VH-UMF) for five years and following that, a Beech Debonair (VH-DYT) for ten years. I honestly thought I had left aviation behind when I retired but the niggling thoughts are still there ... John.
facthunter Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Then havago virago. Before finalising on the fuselage tank check out the Cof G parameters. Much less shift with wing tanks. Nev
