Cockpit |
|
|
|
| The cockpit canopy swings to one side for entry. The cockpit is quite roomy, but requires a little dexterity to get into. |
|
|
| This shows the inside of the cockpit. The canopy latch is rather complex but works well and has an overcenter lock. I don't have the instrument panel installed as yet. |
Tail Assembly |
|
|
|
| The tail assembly has a conventional elevator and rudder. The elevator is connected to the stick by a push-pull control cable, while the rudder has a single cable to each rudder pedal. |
Left Wing |
|
|
|
| This is the left wing, ready for cover. The aileron is a full span trailing-edge flap that is built as part of the wing and then cut away. The aileron is not installed in this picture. |
|
|
| This is the completed aileron for the left wing. |
Right Wing Under Construction |
|
|
|
|
|
| Here are two views of the right wing under construction. I have just finished putting the leading edge ply on the wing and am getting ready to cut the aileron free. (Sept. '99) |
|
|
| This shows the completed right wing, with the aileron cut free. |
|
|
| I am applying the plywood to the leading edge of the right wing aileron. (Nov. 1999) |
|
|
| This shows the aileron installed on the right wing. (Jan. 2000) |
|
|
| Both wings are now complete and ready for cover. |
|
|
| As are the ailerons. |
