  1. Engine? That’s a good question. I was thinking of a VW 1600, my inspector says go for 1800. 200cc is going to make that much difference? Undercarriage will be a scratch build. I have got some springs, but nothing else. Spar brackets I hope to get laser cut. Cutting 32 brackets out of 4130 with a hacksaw does not appeal! I will get most of the fuselage/controls sorted out then look at the wings. I noticed Don you have a different fixing for the tailplane than on the plan’s. Can I ask why?
  2. Hi Don, My Taylor Mono is a project started in 1978, so now it is part restoration and part build. Here is the fuselage with my new fuel tank. Yes the sides are on and no controls or anything fitted inside, which will be a challenge! There is some water staining but it is just a stain, no problem with the ply. I also have a rudder, which is OK, elevator - ok, tailplane which needs some work. Spars, 2 of which need some restoration, wing ribs which seem ok and a few odd bits and pieces. In the U.K. we are quite strict with materials and the design. Any changes needs to be submitted to our regulator for approval, so we don’t have the flexibility you have in the U.S.
  3. How is it going Don? Ready to fly?
  4. Maybe a stupid question but, do you know how many hours you have put into this project so far?
