The problem has been the bottom or lower side of the tube rubbing on the bottom side of the cut out for the tube in the F705 Bulkhead (lower side of the cut out)... I would check this closely. Build on...

Amazing deal. From: "hirox" I started construction in 2001, but do not fly any more, and offering it for sale. Meticulously crafted, primed with zinc chromate. I have completed the Tail, Wings, and most of the Empennage. I even purchased the finishing kit, but have not worked on it for some time, and would be an enormous head start if you are looking to fly soon. Builder #90147. Provision for Tail light, Dual Brake, Dual Landing lights, Wingtip with provision for position lights, Static Air, Slider Canopy, Dyna/cowl for O-320, Spinner for Sensenich metal prop. Many of these options you can probably still change at this point. Currently, the Van's quickbuild price $30,200 and kit price is $20,220. I am offering this kit for $19,000, firm. In addition, I will set aside $1,000 of the payment aside for 12 months from date of purchase to pay for up to that amount in parts which are missing (I have carefully kept track of everything so I don't think this will be an issue). Kit is located in Monterey, California. I was able to move it with a 15' moving truck.

QB Wings and QB Fuselage have NOT been started. Everything is in excellent condition and nothing is missing (Complete Kit) Asking $19.5K.
