Blueadventures Posted January 25 Posted January 25 How good is that, Congrats and well done to you. 1
Moneybox Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I'm envious. I didn't even have to build mine, only fix it and I'm still running behind. The adventure begins 🙃 1
skippydiesel Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Yeah! Great job. If anything like my Sonex, you will now spend the next (?) months optimising many of the systems😈 1

onetrack Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Congratulations on having the determination and persistence to see the build through to completion. That's an uncommon trait that will ensure success in all that you do. ㊗️ 2 1

If it's safe, I'm flying it as is 😄 Aspirational my friend - when you find it flies with a bit of yaw, or there will be less vibration if you do a dynamic prop balance, there is an annoying noise/draft, etc etc, I guarantee you will scratch that itch😈 1 2

facthunter Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Did you toe the wheels out a bit? I'd go along with that. Nev
onetrack Posted January 28 Posted January 28 You're looking as flash as a rat with a gold tooth, mate! - Congratulations! - an achievement to be proud of. 👍 3

The fabric is just black and white, again from the factory. And I added the vinyl checkers and flames and rego numbers 🙂 2 1

Doh! I was having some lessons and a lot of fun with Dave in the cub, I came in to land and his left foot shoe got jammed around the rudder pedal. We were heading for the fence, Dave swearing away, ended up ground looping in time, no damage, but Dave took of his shoes and chucked them over the fence. We then lay on the ground just laughing like crazy. RIP Dave. 3 1 1
