Well folks.. I,ve tinkered all I can. I taxi tested and tweaked her. Brakes
hold up to about 1600 r's.. which is the way I like them. Not a drop of oil
in the cowl after run up. 684hrs TT airframe.. A65-8 (this planes 4th
engine). Annual Conditional Inp..signed off today by DAR.
It feels good.. very easy to taxi...as if I've been sitting in it 20yrs. But
even w/17,000 hrs under my belt, it sure would give me a warm fuzzy to find
someone to take her around the patch before I haul off in it. Any takers?
This is not your simple ol' 747 that I'm used to, but rather, an
intimidating GN-1. After the sign off, I sat in silence.. staring at it over
a crappacino...
Oh well.. heading overseas Monday for a few weeks.. (around the world in 80
delays). I'll stare at it some more starting mid-Sept...

All,
While we had the wings in place, my son & I also did a preliminary W & B.
Adding some guestimates for fabric and paint, and using a W & B form that
Jack Phillips sent out a while back (his dimensions are very close to mine),
I estimated empty wt to be about 660 lbs, and CG looks good! Note the handy
sliding conduit "struts" that I borrowed from Mike & Vic Groah.they work
great, and gave me the opportunity to exactly measure my strut lengths, as
my hickory struts will have little, if any, adjustment.
Cover starts on September 10th. It was a great weekend.

Thanks all..
Just got back from the aerodrome, where I met Kevin, his son, and Purdee wife.
Some good Piet folk indeed. Kevin was kind enough to taxi test my machine, confirming
my thoughts that it had a good feel to her. I will take his advice and
gap seal the ailerons before I fly it. I was already planning to do that prior
to flying.
Thanks again Kevin and family for stopping by. Looking forward to next time we
meet up..
yeah, would like to make brodhead.. that would be nice...

Blue painters tape works just fine for short *and* long term use. I put
some on mine last year at Brodhead and haven't taken it off, yet.

Or.as Axel named us, I am "Gary From Cool." Gary Bell is, "Cool Gary."
Somehow, I think I got short end of the stick.I just don't know.maybe that's
why I'm not "Cool Gary"..
Jeff - that is absolutely beautiful!! Let me know when you are ready to run
your engine, and I'll send the scales (if you want to do a pull test). I
need to re-pitch my prop and cover the fuselage before I will be ready for
another run. You're welcome to the scales..

I was thinking a rocket science approach like maybe leather..like the Bucker Jungmeister
would look really nice. Don't have a pic, but I believe they do leather
on top and bottom, then lace it up really nice. I'll try the tape thing...I
just might settle for that, so long as it works.

The blue painters tape is a "temporary" fix, don't get me wrong. Just don't let
lack pretty leather gap seals delay your first flight.

Nice plane! Really hoping Larry will let me fly it once the gaps are sealed.
The plane is a GN-1 and the fuselage is shorter then mine. Don't know enough about
the differences to know if that's standard GN-1 per-the-plans. Anyway, the
difference is significant in terms of how I fit in the cockpit. I'm a bit
taller than Larry and considerably fatter. He fits fine.

I estimated empty wt to be about 660 lbs, and CG looks good! Note the handy
sliding conduit "struts" that I borrowed from Mike & Vic Groah.they work
great, and gave me the opportunity to exactly measure my strut lengths, as
my hickory struts will have little, if any, adjustment.
Cover starts on September 10th. It was a great weekend.
