If you want to wait until June of 08 I hope to be finished by then and ready for a road trip.

I have been vectored right over the airport @ 3500 feet with a slight turn to miss the skyscrapers. This was returning from Spartanburg back to Greensboro. Also have been vectored slightly north and o ...

My wife has no license, but about 50 hrs logged. No way she would be satisfied in the back. That's one reason I went with the -7. I also like the empty seat room next to me rather than behind.

Bill,

Greensboro.

Larry B helped on the other wing but unavaiable this weekend due to honey-dos. Both of us are building -7's. I am trying to complete the wings and move them out of the garage. ...

I'm trying to close up a bottom wing skin this weekend( one skin already complete). This is a two person job and the wife already said no. If you have nothing to do for a half day give me call...ha..h ...

Careful Rad, They were looking for secret agent Sargent.

Wonder if Bill @ CreativAir is going that route? The wing tips seem very tight for a 100 watt halogen. A new smoke generator! May go with the 75 w and hope.

Any worry about heat with either the 75 or 100 watt bulb?
David

Has anyone seen or tried CreativAir's 75 watt wingtip landing/taxi lights? Or maybe even seen them to compare to the DuckWork's 100 watt in-the-wing kits sold by Vans?

Dale,

Ledgends located in Aiken, SC painted my Baron,now sold, last spring. They did a great job. Talk to Cliff. Their info and a listing of other shops nearby can be found here.

No wonder it took a crowd to get the job done...see the beverage bottles in the trash!!.

Good job Rad.

Outside air will contain a lot of moisture during our summers and the heat will build on the ground. Be careful. A fan may be the cheapest solution in the long run. Some avionics have a self contained ...

Plenty of light and the compressor(belt driven --oil filled) away from your work area. I put mind on the other side of a wall in a small storage shed attached to the garage. Plumbed with PVC pipe--480 ...

Yep Tad,

The SL30 w/indicator will be there. I want the 496 or equivalent for the weather since I will not have a strormscope or radar. Thought about the 300xl as it is an IFR unit, but...again why ...

Thanks guys,

Ron, I did not mention any names!!

As for the rest the opinions are varied as I suspected they might be. If you don't fly IFR you don't need to spend all the money and time. The p ...

Bill & Radomir,

I've been spending an inordinate amount of time looking.! I am planning the back-up instruments pretty much as outlined by Radomir, but having trouble determining whether to pu ...

What do people use for an IFR panel, mostly glass with some electric back-up instruments. Under consideration are the new ACS 3500 or dual Dynon large screens. What would you have with them for IFR? I ...

Len,

Sorry to hear about your friend. You can try the NTSB's data base :

This site is through the AOPA, but it is also available by going direc ...

Thanks everyone, I ordered the slider today.

The tip-up option looks to be strong possibility. After all it's only money and I have not purchased the avionics yet! Maybe I'll just use my handheld ...

I am ordering my fuselage kit and and would like to have the opinion of those who fly their slider in the rain. Do you get wet? Is it too hot for the those flying in the SE during the summer months? ...
