RE: Less well known kit makers
EVOL--
Thanks for the pic of your BTE "Flying King" -- I love the "US Forest Service" paint scheme you covered it in. I have been searhing the web looking at other "FK's" and I think yours is probably the coolest looking one I have seen. I have not even received my kit yet and I am trying to come up with a simple yet unique color scheme. I am considering a FedEx (Purple/White) paint scheme and make it a fictional FedEx cargo plane.
I may take you up on your offer to help with building questions. I plan on building with flaps -- I talked to Bruce and he is sending me 2 landing gear blocks so I can build it with both and have my choice of trike or tail dragger. Just learning to fly a tail dragger -- the first flight of my Sig Rascal 40 wasn't pretty...... I have some time to learn - so I hope to feel comfortable with a tailwheel by the time the FK gets here. I am optimistic so I did order the tailweheel. I also ordered the Fourmost Miter Saw -- hope it helps getting angled ends exact.
One question already-- I can not tell from the photo -- but did you the molded black window flange material? I see a black line at bottom of the window but I am not sure what you used.
Thanks again.
Mark
