    How complete are the plans and builders manual? I am a first time builder, and need something to hold my hand a little. I have many builders around in my Chapter, including Don Taylor of 'Tinker Toy' fame. I am just hoping there is some form of step by step process in the builders manual. I will be scratch building. What is the max diameter of the prop? I am thinking about a Mazda 13B Rotary and was looking at redrives and such. Will it cruise at 150 like the info claims? With a O-360 or equivalent? I'm looking for something to do cross country travelling with. Jeff

    Doug, First of all, nice job. It gives me inspiration to see other guys completing their projects! I was looking at your cockpit picture and saw that you have electric trim and flap control. What did you use, or recommend that I use to upgrade to that as well? Was it easy to switch over from the manual set-up that is included in the kit? I want to add an autopilot (just the basics, nothing crazy) and think electric control of the trim and flaps would lend itself nicely to that. I just got my wing kit and am trying to plan ahead a bit. Mark s/n 094 -------- Mark s/n 094 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=253284#253284

    Jeff, The rudder starter kit has a step by step picture guide that walks you through the process of building the rudder. Everything else used what's called IPLs. They are step by step in nature, but in writing only. They do tell you exactly what to do, and in what order, but there is some studying involved before building a section. They give you a disk that had about a gazillion pics on it. (I find new ones everytime I look on it). I have never built a plane before and am doing pretty good with what Zenair has provided. (I'm building from a kit also). All of us have questions though. And the guys on this site as well as Zenair themselves have been more that helpful getting me back on track when I'm stuck. Can't speak on behalf of the other questions though. I'm just finishing the stabilator, about to get the wings going.
