Hi Phil

Have followed your progress - sorry to hear you won't get to complete your plane.

I am interested in your idea for the wing installation trolley as I am doing all my own work.

Could you send me info or plans to me?  I wpould appreciate it.

Thanks- Fred Schutt - Aspers, Pa 17304 USA  email frschu7@aol.com

thanks for the offer phil, one of the reasons i am building is i cant afford to buy a completed aircraft. i also need a challenging project to keep me sane for the next few years. life has taught me lately i need to take some time out for my minds health. cheers mate. rob

Phill, the seat bottom modification will be easier to upholster, but I'm sure my seats will not match yours in style. I've started working on version 2, but will be satisfied with comfort.

Hey Phil,  Sorry still set on a Corvair at the moment, hope you have luck in finding a new owner for yours though...

Hi Phil,

I only wish there would be an easier way to make that scoop...Didn't find one yet so...

Got to get my hands dirty... again.

Regards,

Norm

Phil, Thanks for the cutter recommendation. Just curious what chuck size it requires, my biggest problem seems to be finding something that will fit into a 3/8" drill, everything seems to be 1/2".
