anyone have one? and is there room to stuff some retracts?

RE: sportsman aviation f-20
 

I have the DC version and their is room for retracts.

Not without major surgury to the nose. [&:];)
Good flyer and great looking plane.

"surgury" Vic?

Vic are pretty egumicated...;)

Hence my brother from another mother!

It appears based on what I have read to be a pretty big job doing the retracts--- In my opinion though, a propjet WITHOUT retracts just ain't right... :eek:

Keep in mind, I buy stuff already built though so my interpretation of the work involved is limited :D

If Vic says it is a lot of work then it is cuz he is a good builder--

Little heavy on the quava juice?:D
The wing is a no-brainer. Its the nose gear that is the issue and getting it to tuck up in there and allow for the fuel tank to be at the correct elevation.
CH should be chiming in soon as he is in the middle of a conversion.;)

Use a pump and move the tank back my DC F20 was nose heavy anyhow.

RE: sportsman aviation f-20
 

The DC has no problems. Its the SA.

RE: sportsman aviation f-20
 

YS-45= No pump necessary

RE: sportsman aviation f-20
 

We're talkin about nose gear :eek:

RE: sportsman aviation f-20
 

Eliminate the nosegear and make it a taildragger. :D
