I finally sat in my own fuselage. I put in a temporary seat, attached the $11 Grumman Yankee instrument panel put the rudder pedals in place and sat there for about 15 minutes with a big grin on my face. I'm glad I widened my fuselage. It was so comfortable I think I might fall asleep at the wheel. I'm glad I hadnt installed the pedals or the pedal mounting blocks because in the plans they are shown too far forward. (I'm 5'8") they need to be mounted behind the "B" station But now back to business. Since my spam can (78 Archer - For Sale!)is a nosedragger, I'm going to make this one a nosegdragger as well for consistency. I realized yesterday that this baby is prime for a side mounted control stick. There has been some discussion before on the kr-net previusly and was wondering if any one posted plans to their web site. If so could you please direct me to it.

This would seem to be a good hardware kit for them to offer. Dean does his homework and has found several shops that specialize in aircraft hardware to use as sub-contractors. His WAF's are a case in point.

Here is a simple idea for those of you trying to conserve amperage draws. Aircraft position lights consume 2 amps each, for a total of 6 amps or 8, depending on whether the white ones are on each wingtip or on the tail. The aircraft bulbs have only one nub on the male socket. I found that you can get 12 volt, 1 amp automotive tail light bulbs to fit if you file off one of the two nubs. The bulbs will go in the aircraft socket, although they will be a little loose. You can shim with something conductive if you wish, although I flew my VariEze for 200 hours with modified auto bulbs with no shims and they stayed in tact and worked fine. This fix, plus a 1 amp Radio Shack burgelor alarm strobe allowed me to get buy with only a 12 amp alternator.
