Well, I am back from a long trip and have about 2 weeks before another 6 Month TDY so I am trying to take this opportunity to organize my purchases so when I get home in August I can build at full steam.
I have a few questions so I hope I can get some input from those of you who have already travelled this road.
Before I start with the questions, just to let you know where I am at in the build, I just received my QB Fuse, and my wings are ready for wiring and the bottom skins.
For the questions.
1. Where in the world do we actually start the QB Fuse, I am reading the instructions and there doesn't seem to be a very clear "HEY DO THIS" tagline
2. Foam insulation for sound proofing/insulation, did you use it? Is it worth the weight? Where/what did you buy?
3. WINGS: Landing and Position lights, What gauge wire is required, what recommendations for lights do you all have? Where to purchase lights/supplies
4. WINGS: I ordered the Dynon Heated Pitot with AOA, The original VANS plans only have the pitot line, where/how did you run the AOA tube?
4.5 WINGS: Bob Archer Antenna ? Or ?
5. For the Fuselage, where do we purchase the more desired Modifications?
Such as the Steel Heater box, the Step block modification
6. Any other "must haves" you would recommend at this point in the build?
Again thank you in advance, my project has suffered a HUGE slow down thanks to life........baby, new house, deployments, I know I can't get much done in my 2 weeks but when I get home I want to be able to crush this build and get this airplane flying in 24 months from Aug.
