Eric:

The horns are the original brown units supplied. I simply roughed them up with 80 grit and then mixed some epoxy and put some 5oz carbon cloth on a sheet of glass treated with release agent. This was left overnight while compressed between another sheet of glass. In the morning I simply cleaned up the edges and presto. I would have used 3-4 oz cloth if I had some on hand.

Do you know what reference datum line was used in your model.

Secondly, are you carrying any elevator trim and what was your final flying weight?

I cant wait to get mine flying.


1. The horns just looked so great. I would willingly buy CF horns if anyone was making them?

2. George Asteris used the IMPACT instructions and they were right on.

3. The elevator trim is dead-on with the stab tips.

4. It was heavier than I expected. I am using an OS 1.60 etc so the AUW with 24 oz tank, heavy Mustang 3-1/2" spinner and supplied U/C was 10 lb 12 oz. Expect it to be 10 lb 8 oz with new spinner and 16 oz competition tank etc.

Regards,

Eric.
