Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!
Here's a few questions, probing the collective mind here. I know some will say to each its own, but I like different or differing opinions to make mine!!
Please bear with me, as I might over-think some things...
I searched around, found some answers but not enough to quiet some of my questions.
To summarise, the fuselage kit is on order and these were deleted:
the gear legs and its brackets (to replace with Grove Airfoiled Gear)
the large eyeball vents (to replace with aluminum ones)
the fuel valve (to replace with Andair)
the brake reservoir (to replace with Grove master cylinders w/ integral reservoir)
the tail wheel assembly (to replace with JDM or similar steering link type)
I'm seeking advice about these Baggage Tie Downs
For those who installed them, any comments?
In both baggage areas or not?
Any other options from other sellers/manufacturers?
I can't find in the preview drawings the hole size in the panel for the eyeball vents.
And I find these a bit steep in price compared to these but SteinAir proposes 2 sizes...
What would be the recommended one?
Are there any suggestions as to the installation and prefered fittings for the Andair fuel valve?
While I buy from Andair, I will purchase the fuel pump, filter and Gascolator.
One Gascolator or two (one for each tank)?
As for the Grove master cylinders with integrated reservoirs, with or without the integrated parking brake?
Are there any issues when installing them?
Anyone upgraded to Grove their wheels and brakes and why or why not?
I want to install a rear quadrant (will go with an aftermarket one for the front at least, Andair, Fatboyflightworks or another...).
Needing 3 levers up front, and thinking 3 levers in the rear also, I was wondering if pertinent and the challenges of installing it (fitting pushrods through the bulkhead, etc). Van's offers the single rear lever but I find it limiting. Might as well control all or nothing... (ATController quirk... )
Last question for now, nutplates.
Would the K 1000-06 with the 6R6 screws size be ok for the floors?
Any other suggestions????
Thanks for your replies!!!
