RE: FW190D9
Randy,
My Dora was supposed to be an every day flier. Since I found out about these forums, people like yourself keep giving me ideas that have changed my goals. I have to draw the line somewhere. No functioning hatches for me. My radio switch, air refill and charge jack will be out in the open. I'll hide them underneath, out of view.
On next winter's 190, I'll plan ahead and hide this stuff. It will get the full treatment. this one will be the test bed for the next for the next. We are even thinking of designing a built up wing, changing the airfoil if I don't like some of the flight characteristics.
I'll be interested to see how yours flies with the Moki, and what it takes to balance it.
What are your plans for the cockpit? Are you going to use the materials provided? They look okay, but don't match the documentation that I have. I used them, anyway, 'cept for the instrument panel.
