Ernie,

I need to make a correction here. I should have been clearer in my previous statement. Even though I went to the Stihl dealer they hold dual brands. In fact the rolls they pulled the...

Thought I would give a little update. I have taken the tygon line out of the tank and replaced it with the black neoprene line. In addition, the Bowman ring has broken in. As a result I'm...

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

Yes I do but I haven't been by there yet. My thinking was that if they have it then most saw shops probably carry it. I suspect from your location, you have a lot of lumber industry as I do.

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

As far as fuel...

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

Flight report.
With the additional oz of weight added to the tail wheel bracket the nose heavy tendency went away. This thing flys great. Even with the extra weight of a gas engine, this thing is...

Pic 1) My original install of the ig box was just hook and loop tape, or as some people call it velcro which is the brand. I didn't have...

I'm running a 17 X 6 Zoar. I also, am concerned about prop strikes. I may go back and just purchase a taller landing gear but, I haven't decided yet. So far I've only made about eight...

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

And finally, some pictures of the maiden flight. The plane is a little nose heavy with that gas engine up front. I plan to add some lead to the tail wheel this week and see if that improves the...

Photos of the decals after installation. Aeroworks provided some very nice decals. Many times I don't install the things but, this plane begged for them.

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

don't follow the instruction manual here. It states, place a stick on top of the wing and aileron and tape them straight. This will make the plane unflyable in all likelyhood. Or at the very least...

Guys,

I almost made a terrible error during this part of the process but I got lucky and spotted the error prior to the epoxy setting. When you install the rudder stab, be sure you clean the...

RE: PRO X 260 Assemb/Build Thread Gas Engine

If you follow the instructions on this step you will cause your ailerons to be locked when you install the SFGs. You won't be able to use the SFGs at...
