Re: Kitplanes article on Murphy Aircraft

It is available online now. Interesting changes will be good to see production ramp up and some of the 2023 vs 6061 substitution stopping with the better supply arrangement. How does Edward Kang as the new GM relate to Gavin? PS The last photo showing the Rebel over Shiprock is photoshopped and real...

Nova cleco tool

Wanted to give a heads up on a new cleco tool I’ve been using. Previous pneumatic tool had no tease trigger and would tend to slam, anything out of alignment and you get a smiley face. This tool has a nice tease trigger and smooth action. Pan American makes it under their Nova line. Only a few hours...

Re: Kitplanes Article

Is the PDF different than the print version? I’m not seeing your article in the May 2021 online edition. Or do you write under a pen name?

Fixing miss-drill

Found this gem when I went to debur a part, must have moved after measurement. Suggestions on how to fix this? Hole is only 1.5D from outside edge. I could fabricate a new rib but would rather not if I don’t have to, would need to drive hour each way to use the chapter’s box break. This is a diagona...

Where to buy tube seal?

There is a reference to "tube seal" in the instructions but I can't find a product by that name anywhere. Where do you buy it?

Re: Sites for selling kits?

I've got a tail and most of a wing kit for a Radical. Within the family we're debating what's going to happen with the project with no choices made yet.

Sites for selling kits?

Wondering what sites those who've sold kits have had good luck with? I've posted my kit here and that will reach a lot of Murphy fans, but I'm wondering what other sites I should include to expand my reach.

Re: Facebook
