Fuselage July 2007 Updates July 23, 2007 Fuel Lines... - 1.0 hrs Stopped by the hangar to install the brakelines. The short ones I started yesterday were a bit long. Seems like you could just put a bend in them to take up slack but no dice. I ended up just cutting about an inch off and now they work fine. A guy and his wife were out flying their Archer a few hangars down and when they finished they stopped by. He said he noticed I was building a plane and wanted to check it out. Turns out he knew alot about Vans planes and was interested in building one. I think after seeing it he was one step closer to becoming a new member of the "Cult". This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
