well, my standoffs (red) just came in. Yep, I had paid the extra $24 Fedex delivery fee. I know it is insane, but I need to finish this project since my Carden 35% Cap is waiting too be finished too. The standoffs look great. Will mount them tomorrow evening.
OK, what is the big deal with the struts and cabane struts ? I have not done this step yet on my Eagle, so not really sure what problem there is. I know there are some new brackets with a note supplied in the kit.
Is anybody using Robart hinge points with the Eagle ? I put some on my elevator half's and rudder, and they seem to hold fine. Hope there is enough wood (about 1/2!QUOT! ) so the hinge points grab right. I guess this shouldn't be a problem. I did use the CA hinges on the ailerons, but am scared now about reading so much stuff with those braking on the Pitts. Might therefore re-hinge the ailerons too.
How did your guys cowl align. Mine aligns well on one side, but the other is slightly off. Oh well, I guess I can live with that. Will use BVM Aeropoxy for gluing the cowl to the cowlring. I just don't trust epoxy on fiberglass. It comes off to easy. I also used Aeropoxy for the wheelpants.
Anybody using the supplied fuel tank ? I switched mine out for a 20oz Dubro tank. The same size I will use for the smoke (TME system). Anybody else using smoke with the Eagle ?
