Wing is done.

Basic fuse frame.

Wayne, Your Sledge 540 is really taking shape. It looks pretty good to say the least. I know that you will enjoy it. I enjoyed flying Jeff's this past spring.

WOW! gotta let me know how it flies! I've never heard of sledge (guessing they make the kit.) Looks like a real nice laser kit!!!!!
Definantly one on the "to do" list.

I ordered a Sledge today..you shoulda heard the girl when I told her my name...long pause, and "Oh NO way!" LOL I didn't get a discount...

It's a bummer, though..this is the first mail order from Texas I've made and they slapped me with tax...oh well.

OK. Maybe I am missing something... Whats up with your name?

My momma didn't actually name me Chuck Auger..my real name is Jeff Williams.

Now I know why she thought it was funny.

Fin and Rudder done.

What are your thoughts on it so far?????


How you going to cover it??????

Do this one.....

Wayne, the sledge is looking to be on target. I really like you keeping me in the loop on the process. As with all new kits there are bound to be some snags, but looks like you are coming along well. Just let me know of the discrepencies with the manual or plans and I will get them corrected. By the way the CF gear is suppose to ship to me tomorrow so I should have them by next Tuesday for sure.
Chuck Auger, you are Jeff Williams also, yeah I got a CF gear request from you. I bet Debbie was laughing about that one. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

Yeah its all coming together just fine. I did talk to Robert and Debbie about some small things that they need to change on their end. Mostly how they had the laser cutting machine set.
Some of the ribs TE's werent the right lenght and one end rib (1/8") wasnt flat when the laser went at it.
Am I on the list for the CF gear? I hope so because the gear in the kit wont work. The long end where the bolts mount it to the fuse is not long enough. The top end doesnt hit the hardwood engine block.
Is the CF gear longer on that end?


Pugs,
I was thinking about covering it like my 29%'er.

Wayne, thanks for letting me know that. I told them to alter the gear for a 3" mounting flat against the fuse. I guess that fell thru the cracks. Sorry that happened, the CF gear is perfect, I am running them on my sledge right now and they bolted up fine. Yes I have you on the list for 1 pair in black. Not sure why the laser cutting is off either, but then that is not my area. I send them the dimensions and from there they are on their own. I am sure there are a few snags here and there, but I am sure they will be addressed.
By the way, I will be in Olney, IL this weekend with 3dreaming, and we may be getting together for a little flying in Newton on Saturday with some of the locals, if you are around call my cell phone and get directions or call the Olney airport, 3dreaming runs it. I am leaving town early in the morning and will be off the internet till Monday. Jeff

I was thinking wayne ought to go with this trim scheme

My Sledge 540 came in the mail yesterday and was promptly quaranteened by my wife.

So now I am scheming to get the plane.

Wayne's in process building photos are inspiring me to get this thing on my workbench as soon as possible.

Is there any info. on how the Sledge will perform with an O.S. 46 FX or SF?

Getting there.......

very nice wayne, I need to get my but working on my topcap

Getting closer, very nice work.
Looking forward to read the flight report, and get a camparision with the Top Cap
