brackets (and Re-inforcing) and all the hydraulic lines, I would
probably go with the mechanical interconnect system if I did it again. I
thought MAM used to sell that system but who can tell from their web
site? I believe Keith (Montana float co.) sells them. If using 4
cylinders and plastic lines, it is a bit of a challenge to route the
lines between all the moving pedals. I have learned that a lot of the
upgrade items sold by third parties don't seem too expensive anymore -
after I look back at how much effort I put into bulding my own ;)
I've noticed over the years on lists like this that after several days
during a quiet spell someone who can't really answer the original
question will often comment on the post and that is when a third or
fourth party will notice it and chime in on the specific comment. Very
general questions with long answers are the ones most likely to be
forgotten. Also I often can't remember what airplane someone is building
even if I've seen their name a couple of times. Of course sometimes we
forget to even sign our name on a quick post which makes it even tougher.
FWIW on another subject I've found that a trace of ANY oil whatsoever on
steel cutting tools will dramatically reduce aluminum clogging. I
usually grab the closest oil I can find and then wipe the excess off the
cutting bit or bandsaw blade with a rag and the residue seems to last
for a reasonably long time. The exception is tapping threads and deep
drill holes where I do use an aluminum cutting fluid. On stationary belt
sanders I agree that even a 1/2 hp unit is easy to stall but at least
useable whereas the smaller units are frustrating. I use the belt sander
to clean up pretty much every edge in aluminum and the disk sander to
round the corners. Then I kiss them with the 6 inch unitized wheel or a
scotch brite pad. I'm not a fan of carbide bladed mitre saws for metal
though. Those carbide cutter tips scare me when they come loose. Of
course I used to use the cheapest blades I could find for aluminum...
Anyway I'll stick with my hand shears and 6" bandsaw.

Hi Scott, Thanks for the reply, I will apologize if I was out of line last
evening writing on the board, all I ways looking for was little upgrades
the guys may have come up with or would now that their planes are done that
would make them a little nicer than what they have now. Or things a person
could do different when assembling the aircraft that would make it easier
than the manual shows since the manual in some areas has a lot to be desired
as I see it (maybe it's just me though). I am building or trying to put
together a MOOSE which the tailsection had to be upgraded from the SR-2500
original aircraft . I got to talk with one gentleman who suggested
independent brake cylinders for each side(right and left pilot) to do away
with the linkage checked it out and to my application I am changing mine
that way. I guess little suggestions like this is what I was looking to
find when asked for things some guys might change on their aircraft if doing
it over again. Thanks Guys to everyone who has wrote in and helped me I
really am appreciative it's just that I have been taught if I have something
to ask, ask it , If a person has something to say, say it .
