Skywing 91" Edge 540 V2 Assembly Thread

Thanks for the info and the pictures @AKNick
At first glance, it does not appear that I will have clearance on the spark plug caps.
Once I start cutting the cowl for the mufflers, I will be able to discern more clearly.

I've seen small cutouts for the DA70 caps on another 91 Edge. Here's some video and you can see the cutouts at the beginning.

Thanks for that video Nick. That's exactly what I'm expecting I'll have to do as well.

Finished up the cowl trimming last night. That was some tedious work. Cut a little...test fit...cut a little...test fit...wash/rinse/repeat
A cutout on the cheek for the ignition plug cap was only required on one side.

You done yet!?!?!??!

Almost. Got the cowl/engine/fuel system completed last night.
Just need to put on the wheels, wheel pants, and tail steering rod.
I left those items for last because it is easier to build that way.
Oh yes, and I need some decent weather for a maiden.

Very Nice!!

Build complete!

I wrapped up the final details last night. The plane is ready for a field engine test and then a maiden flight!!
Now all I need is the weather to cooperate.
All I need is the ground at the field to be firm enough for me to drive my trailer on, and temps above 40, maybe? :|




Love those wheel chocks.

It's been a month! Not fair! Where is the flying report on this machine here?
