Could be more, could be less, depending on building pace. KB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reginald C.

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.

Smith, Sr." Subject: RE: RV-List: Time or Money 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.

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 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:40:42 PM PST US From: "robert stone" Subject: RV-List: 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: Monday, December 11, 2006 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. Bob Stone Harker Heights, Tx ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 07:20:28 PM PST US From: Denis Walsh Subject: Re: RV-List: ICOM IC - A6 Handheld Transciver 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.
