Hi Steven,

That'll work for sure !

I made the passenger side stick removable just in case the passenger was annoyed by it...

Norm

Hi Steven,

No problem, I know it works ...I got the same setup in my 701. Works good and made it possible to get a console in there between the pilot and passenger on the floor.

On my 701 only passenger side in removable, I guess I could make it removable on the pilot side too... Maintenance on passenger side then.

Keep at it ...It really flys !

Hi Steven,

do you have measurements, drawings and other stuff for your dual sticks mod ???

I know of others that would like to copy this. I did it but didn't measure anything while doing it (dumb me!). If you did, could you post something here ?

By the way, VERY nicely done. I like it !

Thanks anyway.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the pictures and sketches. Heinz Genrich and other will have a starting point to make their own. I like your modification...Almost more than what I did. But, then I didn'nt know better.

Keep building ... Soday It'll fly !

As an after thought, he has said that he was having trouble getting the gears for the re-drive from the manufactor.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for that information. I have heard similar from others. Since I am retrofitting, it may become necessary to do as you suggest. I have the doors, and of course the finished aircraft....they have just not yet been together in the same locations for a checkfit :-)

Take care,

Hi Steve,

I have something like 60-70 hrs on the engine now. (I don't keep real close track on that) The weight and balance came out very good, no problems at all.

I took the slatys off, so your cruse might be slower than mine.

If I can ever remember to take a pad with me, I will get some numbers for you .

Something like 85 mph at 5000 rpm. It will go a lot faster, but at a cost for fuel.

Good luck with your first flight, if everything goes well you will love it.

Steve your paint job is looking really good.  I'm painting now and wish mine looked as good.  You asked about the hole cutter.  It's just a piece of 3/16 drill rod (probably from a broken drill bit) and the tip was ground like the tool you'd use in a boring bar in a lathe.  The vacuum method wasn't mine.  I found that in an EAA builders artical.  I bent one wing tip before I learned about it, but after learning this method a redid the one I did without it.  It provides lots of control and it's easy to do.  Keep up the work, looks like you'll be flying soon.

Hi Steve,

How ios the fourty hr. fly off going? No problems I hope.

Dan

Hi Steve,

I just started the cowling. I'll be asking you for help as I go along. The cowling and paint are two items I'll need a lot of help on. Your help will be appreciated.

I started my 750 kit in October, 2011. I had planned on flying about now but in November 2012 I had rotary cuff surgery on my left shoulder. Then another surgery for the left rotary cuff. I was down for six months. I'm good to go now.

Thanks for taking me as a friend, Elmer

Steve, minmal help from grandkids so far. Did you get my request for possible pictures of a 701 or 750 viking engine mount/firewall installation? Just have the mount ; no drawings or video of where to cut, how to add back strength, etc.  Bolt sockets (OD= 1 inch+) seem to overwhelm edge margin on the upper channel (18mm flange availabe). Bob
