Kyle Communications Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 More progress today the roof is on
Kyle Communications Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 I said I would post some pictures of Danny leach's rudder pedal mods. Much easier to do that the way I did mine but I have size 13 shoes. Just bent U shape alu but shaped so that they are vertical at the front and angled slightly at the back to accommodate the brake pedals. Danny just got his heavily modified VG flying recently and was having trouble dragging a brake on takeoff and landings. He saw my mods and came up with his much easier to do. I think it works well although for my feet they need to be higher and it may block off too much of the brake pedals. But for a quick easy mod to Savannahs this would be the best option Mark 3 1
rankamateur Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 That's not a town shed Hongie, that a real farm shed!
eightyknots Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 wowsers! thats a nice shed! The burpengary cathedral "The burpengary cathedral" ...that's funny but I don't think Mark's new cathedral is in Burpengary.
Kyle Communications Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 No its the Booyal Cathedral :) It is where I will go to pay homage to flying :)
Kyle Communications Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 The Sav finally has got her name on the side..thanks to Danny Leach for the stickers 3
eightyknots Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 What? Four s!lver n!pples on that hangar?? That will suck out a lot of hot a!r m!d summer
rankamateur Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 The trucks are rolling in at 7 in the morning to pour my slab, start erection on Monday, hopefully have a hangar by the end of next week, the boys are keen. I picked up three 450mm whirlybirds on ebay, so I will be having three silver nipples Hank. 2
Skee Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Before and After[ATTACH=full]30880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30881[/ATTACH] ill come land in that one any time
rankamateur Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 you should do tran-contiental, get a bit of cow manure on youw wheels
Kyle Communications Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 You need to leave the slab a couple of weeks to let it set properly. Mine isn't finished yet they are doing a few things to it. Got my mate doing the earthworks so I can put water tanks either side of the shed. He tells me the doors need adjusting too and the outrigger supports have been put in today
rankamateur Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 The slab was poured this morning and the formwork stripped and packed up by four o'clock. Nobody will go near it until the kit arrives Friday and then builders will be back first thing Monday morning.
eightyknots Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 The Great Hanger Race is looking interesting . ill come land in that one any time You need lots of STOL practice before landing on that short concrete runway
rankamateur Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Only race has been against myself, been going to build this shed for twenty years, just getting around to it, I would probrably have my plane finished by now if I had finished the shed twelve months ago, I have had too many people coming to stay in the other airplane factory. If I had built it twenty years ago it probrably wouldn't have had big enough doors!
Kyle Communications Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Any shed is never big enough...its only limited by your pocket This one when I put the mezzanine floor in should be enough.......for a while :)
rankamateur Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ahhhh...! you can't beat an erection to start the week! 1
Kyle Communications Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Is mine really bigger than yours Steve?
Kyle Communications Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Nice flat looking land Steve...you better have a good runway there
rankamateur Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Down hill both ways , main strip and cross strip, helps to get the two tonne super loads off the ground.
