welcome and congrats on the new plane ,that should haul some camping gear.

Im in Kalispell.where abouts are you ?

nothing really ,just my brakes sucked and so when I put the bigger tires on I assumed they would suck more .I actually only use my brakes taxing or runup most of the time.i guess if a guy was on a grass strip or soft field you could fly without any brakes

LoOKs like this but not sure if it's the right model number. George at matco will no what your talking about .leni runs the same setup to.he could probably verify also .the original caliper goes in the empty spot .

what carb or carbs are you going to run ed?

my plane will cruise with no pump but will not run wide open without it .I also have a secondary pump .I also leave one pump switch on when I shutdown just in case I forget when I fly next ,all down at shutoff ,back up with the one.

if you have 6"wheels you can go with the 22" dessers or even the 21" are an even better deal.If you have the 8" wheels you can go up to 27" ,the whole desser  line of aeroclassics wear really well.when I did mine I used the double caliper plate from matco to double the braking and still use what I had ,just added two calipers .they work awesome .you can taxi the plane around with the tail up quite easily

Very nice .interested to see how the heater will work.rotax makes a 6mm nipple .it's the steamvent fitting on a blue head

Cool project ,interested to so the process.

best wishes and get well

thanks randy ,the t51 was my first choice as well I .couldn't quite swing that one though

that first one is a great shot ,thanks for sharing

ill give a shakedown report for sure .

I sure hope so ,I have to fly it two thousand miles home....and I cant wait

I agree floats and snow go great together .a fun sunday

I was being facetious

good god tjay,are you building three planes at once?

exactly what I was thinking .we took the avid on a 1000 mile trip through idaho ,Oregon and Washington this year but it would be nice to get back east too  .

revmaster. So yes vw variant 

I've been saving up for a few months and finally found the sonex for me and my wife, it's fuel injected, turbo,and dynon with two axis auto pilot .cnt wait to pick it up .it ll make a great addition.been wanting a sonex for a while .anyone have any sonex time to tell me about?

I agree ,after I did the double caliper setup they worked better and better evey time I flew.

yeah that's it .the silver motor on the back appears to be a rc car motor. ivo sells them for 150.00.which isn't bad but im sure a replacement rc motor of the same wind could be found of higher quality for less .

I just replaced the motor on my ul and its a brushed rc car motor but unsure of the wind.ill grab it at the hanger if I remember and post some pics of it .it was really easy to change .hour and fifteen minutes including the safety wire. way easier than sending it in.

I like that !.very cool

That is a beautiful cowling .somehow mark 4 esq but swept back.did you increase the elevator and horizontal or the vert and rudder only?

the radiator

pretty cool,how many gallons is it?
