| Subject: | Empennage attachment |
Fellow builders
About the Empennage attachment, when did you make it?
Was it right after completing the tail cone, as the manual indicates?
Or only after attaching the tail cone to the rest of the fuselage?
Best
Carlos

I attached mine late in the build due to limited space in my garage. Tail c
one was mounted as soon as the fuselage was ready to accept. The tail feath
ers weren't mounted until I moved the project to the hangar.

It all depends on space and timing. It can be done right away or after the f
wf. It really doesn't matter. If you do it right away for drilling and fairi
ngs, then you can disassemble and store the parts for paint and final instal
lation at the airport. Control rigging obviously can't be done until that ti
me, but you can rig the controls on final assembly as well. I think you woul
d be happy to have the fairings done to have the feeling of completion while
working on the other parts.

Tim,
I just finished reading the write up on your Alaska trip. What a wonderful adventure
and the photographs are amazing. I never knew those glaciers were so dramatic
looking and congratulations on completing all 50 states. The 50 state video
at the end is fantastic and I appreciate seeing the girls grow up in the back
seat of your 10. I have a feeling that one day they will be in the front left
seat just like Andrea and I look forward to seeing your Alaska specific videos
once completed.
Thanks for sharing,
Robin

Depends on your interior.
I went with Abbey's Flight Line interior. As part of their full
interior with carpeting and side panels, they provide a drawing of what
painting is required to fill-in around what they provide. The painting
was minimal and was done after construction was completed.
I've heard that they may no longer do carpet (?). If so, the story may
be different.
BTW, I love my interior and so does my co-pilot. Clearly a simple
painting of the interior panels along with seat covers (Vans style)
would produce a very serviceable and light weight interior too. Depends
on your desires.
Bill

The answer depends on how you want to finish your interior.
I installed Aerosport Products interior panels and headliner. I recommend t
hem highly. With them there is very little aluminum and fiberglass exposed.
There are many that do their own interiors, so then it would depend on what y
ou design.
My recommendation would be to review vendor and other builder web sites to d
etermine what your taste and budget will allow.

Waiting for your answers
