Default RE: Building Is Great !!!!


ORIGINAL: wynterhwk

Just an afterthought...I am in the process of building a Great Planes Easy Sport 40. I figure it will be a great plane to re-acquire my flying skills. I have found the kit to be lacking in several areas. Many parts had to be sanded extensively to fit, the fuse has been a bear to get straight (yes, I followed all the instructions) and when I went to fit the wing to the fuse I found the dowel hole I had drilled per the instructions was 1/8'' off!!! I had to dowel the hole and redrill. The instruction book is for both the 40 and 60 size Easy Sport and in several areas was very confusing.....not complaining...just my humble observations...

Peace
wynter,

I highly recommend you to modify the wing block use two nylon bolts for attaching the wing to the fuse, not one. I only have the wing because of that.

Yes, the dowel hole is off in the fuse former.
