We replaced all the nylok nuts at the brake calipers with high temperature lock nuts for the very reason you stated - things could get HOT sometimes.

We put a handle at the rear pin location like Jesse. We built the hard points and installed the mounting screws from inside the cabin so as to make repairs possible without affecting the exterior ...

hasn't anyone come up with a drop in replacement for the GE4509 that uses LED's and costs less than a hundred bucks?

After rigging the ailerons and wingtips to the fully retracted flaps, the wingtips will be in a permanent position that is -3º up from neutral alignment with the chord of the wing. Do we really wa ...

Has anyone had their gear leg get stuck in the attach bracket? We got the right leg in with a moderate amount of wiggle jiggle twist and turn effort, but now its wedged in tight. I think that som ...

I'll bet these attach points are designed to fail - at just the right force - so the occupant has a fighting chance of survival. I compare it to the passenger compartment of my wife's Saab 900. I ...
