RE: Lost one to a spider

No offense taken really, Mr67Stang.

I do enjoy the challenge of flying, and try to keep my sense of humor when things go badly.

I've only had two really bad incidents in about seven years...

RE: Lost one to a spider

Geeze! Rough crowd here!


Did I not mention I was only a foot or two off the deck, in the midst of a touch-and-go?

Rest assured, my hat hit the ground. A split second after my beloved...

Lost one to a spider

I don't recall seeing a story here like this one, so I'll share some details of my recent loss.

Like most re-kitting events, the whole thing took only seconds. I'd guess 3 or 4 at the most. ...

RE: Econokote vs Monokote

Thanks to all for lending the benefit of your experiences.

My original plan was to cover the wing white on the bottom and red on the top, with contrasting trim.

Now I think the best course...

Econokote vs Monokote

My LHS was out of stock on red Monokote, but they did have a roll of Econokote so I bought it.

Now I have a roll of white Monokote, and a roll of red Econokote to cover one trainer wing.

RE: PT-40 WIng Kit

Thanks for the input w8ye.

After studying the plans, and reading, and re-reading the instructions, I determined that the sheeting is, (as you suggest) supposed to lap over the top of the center...

Anyone else out there have any experience building the PT-40 replacement wing kit?

RE: One more SIG Somethin' Extra

For now, the underside is covered exactly like the top side.

That will change after I get her in the air and see how fast she rolls. I'll probably just add a few stripes to the bottom of the...

RE: Somethin Extra wing sheeting

Thank you JustErik!

That worked nearly perfectly.

RE: SIG Somethin Extra wing attachment

Any recommendations for an engine?...

RE: Great Planes PT-40 Build Thread

Off to a good start!

The PT-40 was my first kit several years ago. I made the same mistake as volks67jl, by building the trainer wing.
