Default RE: Seagull PC9 trashed

Hi Guys,

Been reading a lot on this kit and still decided to buy one. The overall quality is crappy but she sure looks good! Based on what our fellow pilots have experienced, here is what I did...

1. Epoxied the firewall, front and from the inside again
2. lightly coated all formers with epoxy...where they join with the fuselage
3. Installed a Y pushrod for the elevator instead of just one, seems much stronger now
4. Built a brace to hold the tank lower and ran the fuel feed thru the original tank dowel hole

The most gorgeous addition is a set of Eurokit for the nose and main gear. This addition added a little bit of weight but it sure looks good!!! Will post some pictures later once I finish the cowl.

Regards,

DDJ
