The Murphy Builders Site

Hi Rob !

Welcome to the list !

The McKenzie STOL kit does need a few rivets on the wing to be
countersunk - can be done after build, but easier during construction.

The Fus-30 doubler, and FUS-26 upgrade (thicker, and added supports),
both are MUCh easier to do at build time, as are the firewall plates,
and some other mods.

What engine are you thinking about ??

Call me if you want to kick around options ... (905) 457-5238
9 am - 10 pm 7 days. I can call you back free ! :-)

Hello everyone,
My new family and busy work schedule force me to consider the new quick-
build rebel kits from MAM if I am to build my own plane. My concern is
whether the well known Mackenzie/Fife and Ontario mods everyone raves
about are best integrated DURING or AFTER major component completion.

I believe the Mackenzie STOL/Fife modifications can be incorporated well
after the wing is complete. Is this also the case for all the Ontario

mods? I

would hate to have to drill out rivets (essentially backtrack) to include

these.

If anyone can summarize the most popular modifications (dangerous question,
I know) and when they are usually installed in the plane, I could

potentially

ask MAM to leave certain parts out during their quick-build process....

any takers?

Thanks for your time,
