Fly with Gus at Edgewater, Florida put on a great learning experience. If he has another I would recommend every one who can to attend. One thing we learned is to support the fuselage when the center section is removed. The weight of the tail and aft fuselage using the landing gear as a pivot can bend the fragile skin particularly if it is bumped. You may want to tape off the area if you have visitors in your work area. Another thing is to be sure you keep the built in twist in the ailerons when installing the new gussets and balance weights. Roger from ZAC was there and worked with Gus and offered a lot of tips and advice. I think we all learned from each other as well. We were not able to complete the center section since the upgrade kit was not complete but Roger says they will start shipping the kits before Christmas. Thanks Gus, Roger, and all who attended Bobby ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:54:41 PM PST US From: "George Race" Subject: Zenith-List: Chat Room Live Chat Room every Monday evening around 8:00 EDT www.mykitairplane.com Click on the Chat Room link at the top of the page.
