Very nice fabrication
Thanks, less nuts and easy assembly.
Very nice! Like always!
Thanks.
Nice solution!
Looks great and well done. What did you use for adhering the cloth to the body?
Danny, do I see you machined the hex patterns into the female insert to allow for glueing fixation to the body?
Yes sir, so i have relative long inserts (20 mm), they must support the complete tail fin.
Well done! I should do that to my 429. It has a large vertical fin and could use some more support.
Thanks.
For the money you pay, this should be standard!
The panels are not Vario, it was costum made by another pilot.
I only did the modification.
