I had lots of inquires on the UPS SL30 & GX60 I posted for sale, but I
accidentally deleted the responses when I was trying to get rid of all the
nonsense threads of late. So here it is again.
Brand new never mounted or powered. Purchased in Sept 02 and 26 month
warranty is transferable (confirmed by UPS)
My Aircraft
GPS GX60 $3,550 $3,795 $ 5,195 w/GPSS -
GPS steering for autopilot
NAV/COM SL30 $2,850 $3,125 $ 4,155
Annunciator ACU 0 $ 625 $ 695
$6,400 $7,545 $10,045
I prefer to sell them together, so I will give priority to anyone who wants
both. My primary purpose is to sell the GX60, so I will not sell the SL30
before the GX60.

Mike, and other "newbies" scratching their heads about building jigs and
fearing their plane will end up flying sideways:
Van's plans call for the wing jig to be at least 115 inches long (it is
in Van's instructions). The actual wing spar is 109 inches long on the
plans, leaving space for fabricating wing spar attachment brackets.
Van's plans recommend that this larger jig can be built early to use for
the tail section also.
I bought about a dozen kiln dried 8 foot 2x4 studs at Home Depot. I
pawed through the stack and got them to unband a second stack so I could
find the straightest ones with fewest knots. They were pretty helpful
when I told them it was for a jig to built an actual airplane. I glued
(contractors light yellow wood glue) and screwed (deck screws) three
studs together to make a 4x6 post at either end. Since the steel
rafters in my hanger were about 12 feet above the floor, I put two of
the 2x4 studs on the outside of the three stud "sandwich" at the bottom
end to go against the floor and cut a four to five foot piece to go in
the center of the bottom studs so the full 8 foot stud in the center
would reach up to adjust and attach to the rafter using a large C-clamp.
Staggering the joints made the 4x6 post stronger, and having three
separate pieces of wood glued and screwed together resists warpage (not
to mention being cheaper).
For the center horizontal beam I glued and screwed two 2x4 studs
together again staggering the joints to make the 115 inch span. I put
the 4 inch sides horizontal with the glued seam running across the upper
edge. Since mine still took a bend of a 1/4 inch or so when I later
drew a straight center line, yet remained perfectly level across the
top, this is probably the better orientation rather than having the flat
4 inch face on top.
I used lag bolts to screw a steel L-bracket to the bottom of each 4x6
inch post down against the floor, then violated my airport hanger lease
by drilling a hole into the concrete floor and inserting one special
bolt assembly into the hole at each end that the jig posts' L-bracket
fit over to secure the jig post to the floor with a nut and lock washer.
I didn't want it to shift if bumped into at the bottom.
I used smaller metal L-brackets under the horizontal 4x4 beam that
attached to either end using smaller deck wood screws. I screwed one
end on to the vertical 4x6 upright post, then temporarily C-clamped the
other end onto the other 4x6 upright post using a level. Then I got on
a ladder and adjusted the tops of the two 4x6 vertical posts using a
level before permanently tightening the C-clamps holding the upper stud
to the rafter. With the two vertical 4x6 posts secure and level
vertically, I levelled the horizontal 4x6 beam and screwed the second
end to the 4x6 vertical posts. The horizontal post can be raised and
lowered by removing the wood screws and then screwing them back into the
4x6 post at a different level.
When the tail is done the horizontal piece will be removed.
In three years of seasonal changes, my vertical posts are still dead
straight with a level. My horizontal piece remained perfectly level
over the year or so I was working on my tail section. Gluing and
screwing multiple smaller studs together seems to avoid warpage that a
single board will suffer.
