If all go's well this week , our club has a mall show going on right now that I run so after that is done

I'm looking forward to seeing the build in progress from one of you more experienced builders. I got the plans from BUSA and ordered the cowl and turtle deck, but I still need to get the wheel pants and short kit from laser works.
John

Hi

Received the short kit and purchased the wood that I need, has anyone figured out how you are going to do the CABANES. Does anyone know of anyone that has a kit that can make patterns, I have a friend that can make them up.

Ron

Ron if you look at the fuselage plan, just above the cowl is a head on view of what the cabane strut should look like, measuring on the side view of the fuselage will give you the height, I will draw a 3-view of this during the week and scan and post it. I will be more than glad to e-mail this to you once I have it done. My plan was to make a jig to silver solder the joints, or having them mig or tig welded by my neighborhood welding shop.

OK guys got some work done on the wings 1st is top wing ready for sanding , 2nd started to shape le and more sanding not my favorite thing to do

Hay Ron, How long it it take to get the short kit? Quick turn around?
John

Hi John

It took about a week including shipping

Ron

What will you be using for power? I was thinking a DLE 55..... Other thoughts?
John

I am on my way to Toledo next week and will be picking up a DLE-55 for this plane.

Ron

I have a g-45 what do you think to small ?

Might be a little on the small side.

Ron

sent you a PM

have you done anything with the CABANES yet ?

charlie

any word on the cabanes from busa yet ?

Spoke with BUSA at the Toledo show and received an email yesterday that they have no parts or data on the Cabanes. Going to talk with one of our mechanical designers at work to see about making up some drawings. Will know more nexk week

Ron

Thanks for the update on the cabanes Ron. I just got my short kit from lazar works. Now I just need to get a DLE 55 and retire so I can do what "I" want.....
One last personal note, I'm having a real hard time getting my mind around the cost of the landing gear from TNT. Seems a bit excessive for bent T-6.....

John

I bit the bullet and got one from tnt real nice gear very stout and scale worth the money

Sorry about the delay on the cabanes drawing, work & death
in family had been playing havoc, enough that I have had to
put the build on the back burner for a few months.

OK I've gotten some work done on the fuse still fillng and sanding sanding and more sanding not my fovorite thing to do , here some pics

Looks good Charlie! Can't wait to get back and start mine. Please keep the pics coming.

John

Any updates on any of these builds?????????
