Last week was flap actuator and motor week. I hope to get the covers done today then hit some projects around home this weekend.

Jim's gotta Main Squeeze!

Jim, how do you like that thing? Have you done a side by side to the Avery one?

Is it worth the extra booty?

Yes we did a side by side when Tom and I took the rivet class in Eugene. Hands down that baby rocks. The force it takes to operate the main squeeze is as advertised. I had no problem ordering it with the rest of the tools. I think it's worth the extra money.

Oh yah, That would be a yes Chad I am wanting to fly this thing BAD!! ...well fly it good but.... well you get it... do you?

Yesterday and today were control stick days. Other than the screw up mentioned in the appropriate place here at Rivetbangers they are installed.

I'm thinking a hint is in order here though. If you modify all four of the center floor ribs part #F-16L and F-16R a builder could substantially lower the personal stress level by being able to do a major part of the assembly of this part (control sticks) on the bench instead of in a very cramped area inside of an aluminum box. Perhaps slow builders don't have the same problem.

Looking good... we are just getting to the point of rigging the elevator to the control column.

Did you have any problems with setting the elevator stops? Especially the full fwd stick travel??

Peter,

We have 8 confirmed people who are sending me deposits by next week.
I will take up to 12 people max and I'm ideally looking for 10.
If you change your mind about camping let me know soon.

Dave, I have committed to camping with a friend of mine and I'm still not sure if it's Wednesday through Saturday or Thursday through Saturday. I won't be able to stay in the house this year...

I would like to stop by though and meet everyone! Are you open to visitors?

- Peter

Wicked Stick · Post by **Wicked Stick** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 8:28 pm

Peter, Of course we are open to visitors..

I may only be there until Wed. night and leaving on Thursday though.
Might even leave Wed if Thurs weather is forcast to be bad.
