RE: NP Ultimate Bipe/Cautionary advice
opjose, "WOW!!!!!!"
That was my thought as well. I just didn't know what else to do. I sent the bird back yesterday. I asked John if I should cut the tail feathers off & he said yes. I left the vertical fin on but cut the Horiz. stab off @ the fuse on both sides. Although it could be routered out and replaced w/a new horiz. stab. There was quite a bit of free area in the slot. I tried posting the pics here but the darn server kept dropping off so I posted them @ RCG.
There's no tw because the 2nd runup taxi lost it & bent the wire all to heck so I pulled it out & put the skid on. The cowl wasn't screwed down, just set in place over the holes to show the balance. The whole weight thing just had me running scared & I had no desire to go down as fast I could go up.
