Just wondering, what tools do I need to buy. Some things seem to be nonexistend on the german market. Do I need a Rivet Squeeser? (tried to put this a search into the german ebay and amazon page... no result...)

Thanks Bob, that is very helpfull and good explained. I have to catch up with the vokabulary a lot. It's quiet a difference to follow a conversation on everyday business or tech stuff, like this. But ist challenging and fun too. Hope to hear often from you, in the next couple of months ;-)

Stupid question I guess, but are there many anchor nuts used in the savannah? What about rivet nuts istead?

Can you explane? I have double steering. So I was thinking about using one trottle handle in the middle instead of two.

too bad, you had to pay for a personalised panel design... I havn't had spend to much time at the final design, but I wanted a tablet in the middle. So I was happy the had a nice standard cockpit in stock.

http://recreationalflying.com/attachments/img_4341-jpg.47740/ When I see this picture from the rebuilt blog, I am not so sure about the sence of anti corrosion primer. 1. The primer is on one side only. 2. The primer doesn't seem to stick to the aluminium vere well. I have seen this on many different blogs.... Am I wrong?

Hallo Jochen, sei gegrüßt. Hope you get the o.k. from your wife. I just ordered my Savannah Kit.... got my permission kind of denied from my wife, did it anyway.

Sounds like a real good idea. Just wondering if the surface is plan enough ( esp. twistfree ) Had some luck and discovered some steel parts that will make a good base structure for my bench. Intend to put film coated plywood on top, to which a have easy access. Guess it would also be good to have some drawers under the table

@IBob that looks realy nice! what is the size of your workbench? I was thinking to built mine 4,00 m x 1,00 m x 0,75 m ... what do you think? Thanks for the hint to try Transferwise. Any idea what the shipping cost of 500 clecos might be?

suggestion in the linked post: 150 x 5/32" Black 400 x 1/8" Copper 25 x 3/32" Silver best price europe Aircraft Spruce EU - 60,000 parts for aircraft and pilots 0,80€/St. best price USA: Brown Aviation & Aircraft Tools 0,36$ Guess I will ask the guys at browntool for a shipping price to germany. I'm afraid its a lot money. And custom is to be paid, too. I got no clue how it works. Heard about people, who traveled 200 km to get there parcel out of customs. I will let you know.

Its the same word by word! But the importeur is told to be a nice one, who realy cares about his builders. So, what the f... time will tell. But thats why I orders just Kit 1 b. I can't find the info about the numbers of clecos recommended. Can somebody give me a link? I'm also wondering about using corrosion protection. It can't hurt, so I guess everybody uses the supplied black stuff from ICP. But in the Zenair videos on the 750 and 650, there is no corrosion protection and they say you simply don't need it. Had a mail from ICP yesterday. Question was, which panel layout I wan't? Quite early to answer that question...
-
that would be "centreulmlesnoyers" Kit 2 ... compare 19.500 to 26.200 euros I havn't seen clecos under 0,80 euro. Yesterday I've seen a store in the US they sell 100 pc. made in usa for 0,36 dollar. Just wondering if shipping to germany would work?
-
Would have liked to order the Kit 2 too, but orderd kind of a Kit 1 instead. Had some trouble with the german distributor at first. You know, it is not so easy to built a plane in germany. You have to have the permission of the importeur!!! Had a real good offer from the france dealer.... they were 30% cheaper. But I had to buy in germany in order to get his permission and aid with the tons of paperwork. Maybe I can order the next Kit stages elsewere. But that is far in the future. I ordered the hookup, lower parachute lines and the parking brake too. Also I took dubblesteering. I don't know about the cabin heat. I was under the impression that was standard!? I will get my kit delivered to my doorstep. It should take 2 - 4 weeks, I was told. Did you find a good source for additionell clecos?
