Brian- Looks great! I did mine in a similar amount of time and wasted material. Definitely one of those tasks that u spend more time worrying about than doing. Oh wait, that's all the tasks on the project! LOL yep I waste more time worrying about tackling something than doing it. Also I have troubl...

Can you give me the link to the part number? I looked all over M/C and got a headache trying to find the right part. Thanks.

Does that come in mango-green-cutesy-orange?

Nope. Just 95% (190 proof) pure grain alky-haul. Banned in the sucky state of MI.

Congratulations! RV's with 3 bladed props always looked the best to me IMHO. Sounds like you have no excuses now not to fit the cowl!

Check, RV-8's with 3-bladed props always looked best.

Nice pics. I bought the stock Crows w/lift latch (call me crazy but I like it better than the cam lock) for about $70 ea. I didn't get any pads and my holes are bigger but I was told you can press in some washers (AN960-416 IIRC) to bring them down to the correct size. I would definitely recommend C...

It's a bad pic. but you can still make out the P/N's.

I'll have some of what they're smokin.

The little inspection cover plates that go under the emp. and screw onto the two F-824PP side skins.

Anyone know why these need to be installed with K1000-06 and truss head screws instead of c-sunk K1100-06 and AN507-6R6?

I doubt they are, I think MachineMan drilled his.

What's the stuff for the tapered brake line fittings? I remember its dif. than ez turn but forget the name.

Its been so long since I have used that thing I totally forgot about it. Boy I feel dumb.

How are you guys dimpling this after drilling for the Cooling Ramp? Buck-dimple or NAS1097AD3 (doesn't seem strong enough) with a macine c-sink is all I can think of.

Thermos, Yup! Bri, Right here... soon. Mebbe after the holidays so peeps can recoup losses from the festivous occasions! Lorin, this is where it's at! Two ignition systems and a starter switch! (old 80's music) :wink: CJ Sounds good. No rush. I guess you were just testing the waters over there then...

Where can we learn about the Lord group buy? I hope the buy isn't hurt by DR's greed.

gotta disagree with your logic. The weaker the US dollar gets, the more expensive it is for Cessna to offshore work to China. The US dollar being weak is a great benefit to certain domestic manufacturers (i.e. engine manufacturers, Van's) because more and more foreign consumers are buying stuff from...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119621169217505989.html?mod=yahoo_hs&ru=yahoo Sorry I don't have script to the WSJ so I don't know how to get to the full article. These people can't even make toothpaste or sticky dots and they want us to trust them with making airplanes. :o :bang: :x Not for me.

I think you should drill the elevs. with the c-bal. in the center of the H-S skins. I have read that builders line their elev. TE's up with each other, but that makes no sense to me seeing as how the instructions say the elev. TE's need to be in trail with the H-S. If one side of the H-S is a little...

He called it laser, don't know if thats the same as plasma.

Someone posted a pic of their panel cut with a plasma and it looked bad. Don't remember who though.
