    Hi RJGerstnecker weastern pa 

    i decided to get a ppl in 2010,got it in July 2013 so not a fast learner. I joined the loacal flying club and checked out in club plain one week later then started tail wheel and spin training now trying for an instrument rating that is going real slow .i just put a deposit on a avid magnum kit should get it late spring. I received the build manual today and it looks like I will have LOTS to do 

    thx for all the help so far rjg

    Thx I’ll need lots of help 

    so I need to have away to check the wash out if there is no way to adjust for it with lift struts . There are no tips or tanks at this point just spars and ribs.if I lay the wing on a long flat table the out board end of rear spar should be up how much ? 

    What is wing heavy trendinces in flight ? one with fills heavy ?

     I thought I saw 3 different tip types the point the longer finch point and one that looked like a mk Vl stol or hh wing tip,

    im wondering about no tip but an air dam just flat attached to the last rib but 1 in larger than the air foil shape 

    your gear looks great  I may need more info on it , how’s it compair weight 

     

    thx rjg

             Hi guys 

    i have a few magnum question ,the kit I’m considering is unfinished .wings are built not covered and have not bin fit to the fuselage yet 

    wash out- how is wash out built and checked after wards, is it adjustable after its built with the lift struts 

    false ribs - wings were built for wing tip tanks , no tanks are installed so just  install ribs right ,

          any thoughts on bottom false ribs ?

    wing tips-  or no wing tips 

    grove gear-before covering what needs added to acomidate grove gear 

    Thx rjg

         Would the horn itself (being in front of the hinge pivot point) catch air and lighten the elevator/stick and rudder/ peddle forces

    thx rjg

         Thx JlmChuk 

     So thanks for the info that makes it easy, did you mention a sling seat that felt better on your back ? 

    And will a sling allow a taller person to fit better ? I’m just under 6ft 190#  my son is 160# same height,but only 13 years old  Dr

    predict 6ft3 so I’m hopefull of having a Mk Vl HH extended with the bmw bike conversion 

    thx rjg

          Hi JimChuk

    how can you tell its a c model, I was checking on that one and could only find kit no. 857.when I spoke with the owners I never asked for a serial no. I have never found the info on all avid numbers, ( searial or kit). I would like to get a Mk Vl stretched pulled by the BMW
