Hello: I didn't see this answered, but I would like to know which version of the Firgelli linear servo is being used for the Canopy. I know its the L-16 version, but is the 140mm (5.5inches) enough throw, or do they have a longer version I'm not seeing in their catalog.

I appreciate it.

Thanks,
James

Here are a couple of pictures of internal mods I did to assure the integrity of the forward fuse due to hearing of some damage caused to this area caused by "heavy" landings. I have also heard that this plane may need weight up front, so why not make it useful/structural!

These are 2" carbon fiber cloth strips placed a couple of inches apart laterally and the whole area forward of the front wing saddle formers covered with a layer of fiberglass cloth.

Hi,

I'm about to start a carf P47 build and would appreciate it if I could see the pics you took of your job?

ASTROHOG, what adhesive did you use to glue the CF cloth to the fuse?

I use Standox one pack paints on all my aircrafts. RAL 6014 is the olive drab shade code.

I'll have to ask. This plane is a little larger than my workspace at home, so I have been building it in a buddies' shop. He had the CF and FG cloth and resin laying around. I'll get back to you.

Well, got her on her feet today to check wheel alignment before mounting the gear fairings. It's looking a little too silver right now, I can't wait to get some paint on her!

The remaining cockpit parts should arrive tomorrow. Once I get the cockpit sorted, I'll be able to start final routing of all the wires and air lines.

Broke the 4-40 tap off today while tapping the holes for the gear fairings..........CRAP!!!!

The good news is that I finally have the inner gear doors working correctly! (I had them detached for the picture).
