I am sorry that we have not seen a 2-3 day window to come out and steal your airplane from you. Email to me and I will physically give the pics to Jim. He is a Macintosh nut and can't figure out how to make Windows OS play.

I recently found a bunch of black & white pictures of the Big X taken when Steve first built it. It has the 130 Franklin engine on it, so it would be pretty easy to scale things from that known measurement.

At stations E and F the cables are laying on the fuselage bottom cross tubes. Options, make some guides that I can attach to frame by j-strip or slide a piece of nylon tubing over the cable. The guides may be the best option to keep the cables from drumming on the frame cross pieces. I aligned up the guides with a string, but the string doesn't sag like the cable. What would be the best option? Thank you.

The cables don't rest on the tubing when you are taxiing and flying. Your feet will be on the pedals all the time. Also, to protect the tubing when at rest, just put a little pad of nylon or whatever you have laying around on the tubes where the cables rest on them.

Bottom line for all..... If the shaft is good and snug within the prop, the screw will stay in easily with Blue Locktite. We just really went to the extreme when I was out there this summer to fix/cure the ill so I could stop beating the crap out of my prop leading edges and to prevent a screw from finding it's way into my intake. That would be bad.....

Is their a miracle "Goop" that will seal the w/s and therefore the cabin from the inevitable stench from an overfilled fuel tank??

As Fred said, when you are using the TW your feet will keep them tight. Don't put anything over the tubing where you think it might rub, it's just another thing that might snag the cable. The black goop Fred was talking about was automotive gasket maker in a small squeeze tube. For sealing windshields, latex caulking or bathtub seal works pretty good and cleans up with water.
