    I would really find it pretty much impossible for you to make a mistake on how the firewall is placed and it relation to F1. To be honest I wouldnot trust the meter especially since it is all CAD drawn and laser cut. Here are some pictures of the CAD files showing the upthrust amount, right...

    Yep, you are correct. All the pitts have 2 degrees up thrust in them. I verified both on the fuse we have here and the AutoCAD files to confirm. It is not easy to see until you mount a motor but if you look closely at the tabs for the firewall you will see a couple of mm difference between...

    Rob, The thrust should be built in. you should have some right and a little up. Your going to want some right thrust. I have never seen a plane that did not require some right thrust. I believe the whole series is designed that way. Al

    Nice mod on the bottom. Not sure why Bob always left the bottom open on all the designs like that except for the access to lower wing bolts. Plane looks great

    On the wings you can double bevel them if you choose but really you do not need to because you will find that the pitts takes about half the throw a monoplane takes to get the same roll rate. Trust me when I test flew the prototype and even my 41% I had them setup like I would our Extra or MX...

    Wacobipe, Actually its not a scaled down version of the 35%. The 35% was heavy and really needed a 150 to fly it, hence the nose weight. It is more scaled to the 41% but even there its different. The original flew fine with the gear at its location. Battery placement works for balance and...

    Veterans Day & Me: A Personal Essay

    As a Vietnam era vet and being young at the time We were looked down on. It was fairly easy to spot someone serving in the armed forces as we all had very short hair and walk tall. Like today people protested ( for a different reason ) and we were looked down on. Many of us were drafted, ( I had...

    Rob, The bottom of the fuse is left open for your choice of exhaust and you also need to get to the lower wing mounting bolts through the opening . I covered the original to the edge of the bottom and then used a can of the stone paint to paint the under belly where the exhaust goes

    Rob, If I am understanding you correctly the sheeting only goes to the top of the 1/2" longeron ( sits on top ) and then the longeron is sanded to shape to match the sheeting. The sheeting does not go over the longeron.

    Hi Everyone, We have secured a manufacturer for Carbon Gear. It is slightly heavier than Graph Tech use to be when they were supplying gear. It very good quality.
