RE: Matney's ZOOMER
VG:
No wood, but plan for firewall and tailfeathers. I installed landing gear blocks in the wing and went with standard 5/32 music wire, then a little airfoil grinding for grins. Did not like stock tailfeathers, elevator is streight across, no tailwheel. I jazzed mine up a little, split the elevagtor, carried rudder through with tailwheel. Now you can taxi around if you want rather than point and shoot. Kevin will skin your wing for I think $100.00, does a nice job and well worth the price after you consider cost of good skin today. Like I said, leave ailerons stock sized and increase the throw if you want more. Yes, control in left turn is mandentory at around 200 mph and 15-20 feet off the ground. Old salts seem to like it 6-10' which is not much of a margin. Yes, guys like Dave Norman are just that good. Nothing like passing a guy flying at 10' on a lower line. If its me being passed, runes the whole weekend, and takes days to get over it. Old racers are very strange. ENJOY
