Fuselage March 2008 Updates March 16, 2008 Brakes Install and Sticks.... - 5.0 hrs First off was a major cleanup and inventory of the parts bags to see where the Allen head screws for the brake flange were. Ran to Sears to pick up a temporary screw. Still needed to figure out what to make the spaces from. Wired up the PTT switch for the pilot side sticks. Tapped both sticks for the set screws and installed the Ray Allen PTT swtiches. At least I am reorgainized and ready to move forward when I get the screws. I heard a loud chopper coming so ran out and snapped this picture. A blackhawk at Weiser???? He was just giving us a close look. Checked out Jeff's website after getting home and saw the correct screws. I remember now that those parts came with the fuselage kit so I will check again tomorrow to see what exactly these parts are. 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.
