Thanks for the reply; I will see what I can find that'll work!!

Hi Gents

Quick question; is the material for the baggage door latch pin & latch blocks provided in the kit or do you have to source it yourself? If its supplied I can't find it!!

Many thanks!!

Rob

Thanks gents, I'll try and find out what people have done over here.

Anybody?!

Evening everyone I have a question regarding my '8 canopy frame which is now largely fitted. The plans show a 'canopy mid retention block' for holding the canopy half open, and says to make from .188 UHMW block. Is this contained in the kit or do I need to source from elsewhere? If it's in the kit I...

Awesome! You had great weather for it too, she looks ace!!!

Most probable factor was the controller didn't realise the PC9 was an intersection departure and thought it was lining up behind the jet. Thats why towers have wonderful big windows to look out of! My 2 cents anyhow, being a controller myself.

The hangar I'm building in is no where near as warm as yours so I'm taking a few weeks off!

That sure is a nice looking lump of an engine! Well worth the drive!!

That is very frightening. Where was the kids parent?! I never let my kids anywhere NEAR the business end of aircraft when in the hangar, sends shivers down my spine thinking about what might have happened to Bill there.

As much as you can cram in a 40' container......along with my FWF kit!!! LOL

Happy Christmas all from a wet & windy Blighty! Wish we had some snow.......!!!!

I have no frekin' idea CJ! If I kept track of spending I'd probably freak out and not finish the project!!!

Turbines are TINY these days, I had a look around an MD902 Explorer recently and it had its engines out. Remarkable how engines that small can produce so much power! Almost looked as if you could fit it in the palm of your hand!

Great stuff; thanks all. I think I'll rope in someone who has a little elec-trickery experience & build my own!

Thanks alot Guys; I know absolutely ZERO about electrical stuff but I'll give it a go! Luckily it'll be a fairly simple panel!

I might delay the job and slowly buy all the avionics/instruments bit-by-bit first though!!

Cheers all

Damn, I was hoping it would be a nice quick fix for the wiring! Any idea's on what it is aimed at fitting exactly? I'm going to be going for a pretty straightforward panel now (due disappearing budget!) with all 'clockwork' gauges & standard radio fit. If the loom would fit that kind of set up then ...

Hi all

Slow progress with my machine BUT.............does anyone have any experience with the Vans wiring loom? Tempted to buy it but am curious to know if it's worth getting it shipped all the way to Blighty or not? Does anyone have any experience with the pre-built loom?

Thanks guys

Rob

I had my finish kit delivered with the rest of my QB. Think it must have been a jinx.......'cos I aint nowhere near finished!!!!!

Thanks for the info! I'll have another look through the crates, otherwise I'll be ordering some more angle from Vans!

Thanks all!
