My VOR had the cable hard wired into the antenna if I remember correctly. You just need the cable long enough to get to the end of the vertical stabilizer with a BNC connector on it. You'll be attaching the vertical stabilizer long after the rear fuselage is done, so you'll have a cable to connect t...

A couple of months ago, we have a discussion, and talk by our EAA chapter tech advisor, about Oxygen systems. He had a simple but very workable, and cost effective solution, much less expensive than those listed about. Not that there is anything wrong with above. Simply acquire or buy either a D ta...

Not sure how I missed this one - sorry for the delay in the response.

The Tsi does not have a header tank. As for the dihedral on the HW - I'm not sure how much difference there is, but the Tsi definitely doesn't start reading anything other than full until about the 16/18 gallon mark...

As long as the holes are lining up to get a cleco in and it's just a matter of the rivets not going in, when you're using the 3.2/3.5mm drill bit, it should feel like it's passing through without resistance, but it actually is doing something. When I was building I would keep a drill bit handy when ...

I can't tell you exactly how many hours, but I can tell you that from the flat kit first arrival to first flight for me was 3 years to the month. We just recently had a question asked about build order, but it's pretty common to do the emp, wings, fuselage and forward. If this is your first build th...

Hi Dave, Welcome to the building group - you're gonna have a blast! This might be a bit of a stretch, but reach out to Synergy Air (https://synergyair.com/all-classes/category/fundamentals/) and see if they are doing any courses in their Bend location. Their website doesn't show anything in OR, but ...

Yup. I did the complete build following Evans instructions. Just be careful and you’ll be fine. The skin has quite a bit of flexibility so it’s just about paying attention and it works.

Verrry nice! Sweet paint job as well. Congrats!!

Hmm. I’d have to go back and watch his videos to see about the 90 degree thing. If it’s the parts I’m thinking of it’s probably the corners of the wings/empennage where the metal is already got a significant bend for the leading edges. There shouldn’t be any parts you should have to bed 90 degrees o...
