I would estimate that the QB fuse would save about 300 hours. Could be
more, could be less, depending on building pace.

For me the fuse was the most fun to build (minus the canopy) and came up
quite quickly. If I had it to do over, the fuse would definitely not be a
quick build. The wings on the other hand were slow and tedious then there
were two of them. I would order quick build wings and do the fuse myself.
The part of the fuse that went slow came after what is done by a quick build
option. Really it boils down to your preference or money Ron. For me the
fuse was the most fun part of the entire project.
Tim (If you were near me I would even help so I could do it again)

Second question: I have read in the past where builders "Pass-on" their Fuse
Jigs(sell, trade, free if you pick it up). Does anyone have one they know is
straight that is available (So. Cal. area)?

Hi Bill,
I fortunately or unfortunately as one may feel, do not have that
problem. This time I will own a plane with the weeney wheel up front.
My past four planes had all had the proper wheel in the back. My wife
suggested that I move the control wheel up front because of "?age?" and
insurance. Oh well, it could be worse. At least I will still be
flying. (soon).
I'm digging for a grommet to handle both wiring systems as I am
doing a strobe/tail light configuration. I've got a bit of shrink
material to protect wires.
Jim

| Subject: | ICOM IC - A6 Handheld Transciver |
Members,
I ordered a ICOM IC - A6 Aviation transciver and received it from
Aircraft Spruce. I have read and tried to follow the instructions in
the manual and still cannot get the thing to work. When I used a search
engine to look up the URL of the importer, there was another web site
that had the following to say about the instruction manual for this
radio. It is copied and pasted below:

by Duane Mitchell of Tallahassee, FL
Review: The transciever is excellent but as a longtime technical
writer/editor I am qualified to judge the instruction manual as the
worst I have ever seen. Somebody needs to spend a few bucks to have it
revised and sent as a supplement to customers who are stuck trying to
figure out how this great transciever works. An on-line revision would
help.
If any of you guys have one of these radios and can help me
understand how to us it, I would be greatfull since I can't understand
the owners manual at all.

Its a pisser all right, IMHO.
First off, you gotta hold the power button down until it yips three
or four times! After that it gets worse. If I fiddle with the
function key enough and get it to manual, I can enter a freq., by
punching the buttons.
Oh the volume knob is rather straightforward....... if you can get
that far. Squelch, well now that is another matter.
It is a great radio I agree.
