Ok Earle, I usually heavily restrict and limit the use of my next comment. But after spending time reading all your recent updates on your build of this beauty, I can clearly see the comment is most definitely warranted.

"I simply am not worthy"!

Earle sets the bar high...he is a builder extraordinaire no question.

Hah....how about brakes?....and they only weight 6 grams! Of course, they don't work worth a crap

I bet your wheel pants stop pretty quick though.

Yep...all fixed and flew it last weekend a bit. Glad to have it back in flying condition. Also found motorbox bottom loose, pipe mounts busted and a couple other fatigue cracks in ply structures. All good now!!!

Eric...my pants stop when they hit the floor!

For a choke lever I like a push/pull rod....easy, foolproof, and no servo needed.....but I DIDN"T want to cut/drill my cowling and have it sticking out below!

So...I extended the DA choke arm a bit, for extra leverage and hooked it to a CF rod epoxied into a ball link. Made up a little guide which is glued inside the cowling air exhaust opening, so that the end of the rod is easy to reach and pull for choke on/push off. Works like a charm and can't be seen unless you lay on the ground beneath the plane.
