Ivo, here are some thoughts on your posting and website:
With regard to your nosewheel steering, Van's specifies a specific
breakout force for setting the big nosewheel nut. This could affect
ground handling. This procedure would be shown on the plans (also on
the Preview plans).
On your panel layout, the glovebox is too low and will encounter
interferences. Consider buying the the rather inexpensive glovebox kit
which has drawings with it.
When Fabian Leffler redoes your panel, be sure he has full access to
your ship as you have to finagle instrument locations to avoid
interference with the ribs.
People tell me that the SL40 is a much better radio than the ICOM 760
although it will cost $300 more. Consider buying your avionics from John
Stark at Stark Avionics in Georgia as he gives the best prices and good
service, as noted by a number of other listers.
Happy flying
Leland

Thanks everyone for the help with the w-912 ribs, BTW my kit is 90640 and
the wing kit arrived in feb. 2003 with the incorrect holes.
Sealing tanks this weekend...

Ivo:
Thanks for your reply. You have some excellent advice for landings. I just
wish I had read your note before I went to fly Friday afternoon. It was my
first flight with wheel and gear leg fairings. I'm now waiting for Van's to
open so I can order a new nose gear strut and associated fiberglass. Also,
I hope I get good news from the prop shop. As I was warned by some 6A guys,
you just better not land these things too fast. Live and hopefully learn!

Dear Listers,
Neil Hulin of the Zenith-List at Matronics wrote to me suggesting I add a
"total of available messages" column to the 7-Day List Browse Main page,
and it seemed like a great idea! I've made the modifications and I think
many will find it extremely helpful as well. Have a look at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse/
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
