Default RE: Ultra Stick 60 Challenges

Yarom, you're forgiven!

Perhaps you missed my 1st post wherein I prefaced this thread by stating my ARF had NO hardware, TWO left wing panels, etc.
Other than that, I would have to agree with you that under normal circumstances, Hanger 9 did it right with this ARF and anyone could build and fly her right out of the box. In fact I wish that were the case here. Since it isn't....

Let's continue...

Today was incredibly windy but absoultely gorgeous. I didn't get any flying time on my Aerobat so I concentrated on the Stick. I recovered
the undersides of the wings with 1" checkboard UltraCote and reapplied the trim removed from the duplicate panel. Since the angles were now all wrong, I simply decided to use them that way...almost. I left the wing tip as is but pinstriped everything in white and black with a tad of blue. I salvaged part of the decal from my obliterated Sig SSE and stuck that on the right panel...she is "Somethin'"!

I installed a ply false floor aft of the radio compartment and ran 2 strips of 3/4" velcro there that will secure the receiver and battery once I get the radio gear situated. Ailerons were installed the 90 rehung onto the firewall.

Interestingly enough, the plane appears to have balanced and the hopper fuel system may not be needed afterall. Once everything is completed, I may have to re-evaluate that comment, lol.

Here's Saturday's contribution to the airworthiness certificate:

ps, Yarom your plane looks super. I too am adding flying wires, deciding against aluminum rods. I had that experience with SIG products and didn't care for them.
