  1. Very good advice! Often times you are pulled away and by the time you get back to the job you've forgotten what goes where. I take so many pics with my phone when doing things for exactly the same reasons now, definitely one of those 'tools' I don't know I ever got along without.

    If you are like me, your memory was better before cellular phones...


  2. Mine on a mod 2, bought it built, is on top of the cabin just forward of a cross tube above the seat back. It is mounted about 4" from the ELT antenna. Not good at all.

    I've got to rearrange antennas and add a third for comms. Thinking of putting a plate under the fabric and on top of the fuselage for that one.

  3. I guess you wrote this up because of your experience...?

    Very good information.

  4. I see only one controller listed separately. It is specifies 5 amp capacity in each channel, left and right. For most LEDs that seems pretty hefty, IMO. I would think there are other suppliers with differing amperage ratings.


  5. It is easy to accumulate way too much cr*p when you have way too much space!

    Yep, been there done that...and still collecting :o


  6. I have to ask about the car - Studebaker or Henry J?  Been a long time since I had one...Check out TJay's question above - didn't want to interrupt.  EDMO

    Henry J would have been smaller, I believe. As a young man, my desire was to "slip" a Plymouth 265 into a "J"


  7. Thanks for confirming my belief in needing to go completely through my electrical system. I am, iirc, the 5th or 6th owner. Every time I just glance at the visible wires the thought returns.


  8. There is a guy over on the "other site" using Oratex. I think he is building a 7. IIRC he calculated the cost to be nearly equal to other fabrics and associated material.
