****Warning**** This is another "Assembly" thread. So, if you're not up for that, move along! Just kidding. Feel free to give me your best shot!
I thought this might be interesting for two reasons. One, fairly new frame and not too much on it. Two, its gonna be another Electric IMAC Machine! Yes, feel free to lambaste and tell me how my sequence will look rushed and I'll never compete! I'm good with that. I'm not that good of a pilot anyway! I'm more of a photographer really.
So, first obligatory exclamation, "Man, this thing is big!".
I have inspected and laid out everything. I am missing a manual (I actually think that could be intentional, saves paper and downloadable. Easy to read on iPad) and decals. But! Never feal B&E Graphix Package is already purchased and received!
So, with that done. All seams and graphics sealed with iron and started on the tail wheel.
Then Main Gear.
Couple of issues here. The holes did not line up on the gear fairings to the landing gear and had to drill new holes. No big issue. Also, some nice aluminum wheels, with bolt heads. If you install with cotter pin, as shown, the bolt heads catch on the pin and the wheel stops. I ended up bending the pin out of the way. I tried t take a pic with my phone, but it wouldn't focus on the aluminum. Neither one of these was a big deal, but added about an hour the assembly, so far.
Last thing done last night was the control horns glued.
I will detail the specs of the equipment used, as they are installed. Just in case I run into an issue and have to change something.
Hope to get back on it this afternoon. Maybe be ready for Byram IMAC?????
