Re: MAM factory extended droop tips

Those are stock tips. The droop tips add about a foot and have a pronounced down curl.

Wing Tip & Landing Lights

Researching the form on lighting and the threads seem to be dated with LED now in favor. I have the dual wing landing taxi lights on both wings; I forget who sold them back in the day but MAM now sell. I also have the factory droop tips and am looking for a green/red, strobe, nav light combo rated f...

Steve Rhoads on Lake Hood AK has done it all including loading a snowmobile. I look forward to your article.

Re: Progress

Thanks Wayne and Jerry For any Canadians getting close to registration you can reserve your choice for 140 CDN. I studied the crap out of what was available before deciding on SRX. There is TC site you can search. Just leave the field blank. The only other C-F or C-G ones of interest was C-GZLY (Gri...

Progress

A couple of milestones today on the Moose. I installed my first window on the CM1 door folding window. My Lexan had been rolled for 22 years so has a slight outward bulge. People pay extra money for this. Should I upsize lexan holes to 5/32 or 3/16 with 1/8 rivets? I also just got my registration of...

Painting

I've completed most of my Moose however have yet to mate wings or empanage. I still have tips, dorsal fins wing root fairings etc to complete.

My brother in law has offered to paint my aircraft. Is it practical to paint at this stage or should it wait until fully assembled?

Thanks
Monty

Re: Droop Wing Tip internal support

Haha but sad faced; I guess I got the same 'kit' as you did. I'll revisit this post when I get to the tips.

Re: Droop Wing Tip internal support

Very nice. I've yet to do my tips so this is helpful. However when I recieved my droop tips from MAM I did not get any additional parts. What should I have recieved such as stringer material and ribs?
Thanks

Rudder Pedal covers

Decided to dress up the rudder pedals this am and was surprised how quick it went. I've gone with independent brakes so had the rudder cross tie parts as surplus. Used surplus 3/4" tube to add 1" to pedal width and maximize tang length. I had almost shorted them. I then took some .040, 4 3/8" wide a...

Re: Inspection Cover Template

Thanks, I took drafting in univ while studying engineering so drawing the template is not an issue. I just wanted covers punched from a CNC so they were interchangeable north south top bottom and with each other. No matter how accurate I draw; the holes will shift some so wanted to remove that step....

Hole Enlargement - Moose Wing Attachment

The SR to Moose mod requires that the forward wing attachment has a whole bunch of doublers thrown at it and the bolt is increased from 1/2" to 5/8". I had a perfect 1/2' and have been struggling to find a solution to upsize hole. I did a dummy run with a tapered bridge reamer and wasn't happy so I ...
