    I think there are lots of ways to do it. I didn’t have any instruction or tailwheel time but tons of helo time, so I just did slow taxis, fast taxis, crow hops, fast patterns...then I got a cfi to make sure I didn’t kill myself. But you know, I could have easily bent metal by doing it that way.

    Allen I think the plywood glued in would add quite a bit of strength if fitted and glued correctly.

    I plan on delaminating both ribs, and sliding the good hanger in. I need more heat I think than what my wife’s hair dryer can provide. What varnish goes on after?

    id say fly it for a bit with the standard gear. You may come to find out it’s everything you need and wouldn’t cost you.

    For my mission it’s hard to justify a 912. Though I’d do a phazer if it where further along

    You know, you can’t replace weight with hp. Though there is a simoni v2 for sale that’ll be the ticket

    It can be done Allen. I didn’t try too hard and ended up with 458.

    Yea I keep coming across these planes. I like to tinker. Probably trying to be like Jim Chuck. I’ve got an Avid C getting ready to go out the door once I fly the phase 1 off, 2 mk4’s that need motors and one needs wings covered, and the kitfox that needs to be completely built. I’ll likely tackle the KF last.

    Also it appears there is a 2 stroke engine mount, but does that look like a 912 mount in black?

    Welcome to the thunder dome, glad to have you. This community is very helpful and amazing and I think you’ll enjoy your journey if you stick with it, remain focused and stay motivated. I’m 5’11” which i feel comfortable in the model c, but couldn’t imagine being much bigger.

    If you can start your bird from the cockpit I’m impressed. I can only assume my geometry is off, because I have to put chocks behind my tires

    That’s what I do, coming from flying Blackhawks, you control the size of the houses with power. I’m just trying to log all he seat time I can now.
