Modifications

This page is to list any modifications that I have made or will be making.

#1  Move ailerons inboard by 1 wing section to lessen adverse yaw

#2  Use a differential cable between the aileron bell cranks instead of using bungees

#3  Use bearings in the pulleys

#4  Add brake connection to rudder cables

#5  Use a Yamaha KT-100 15hp engine - changed to Koenig SC-430

#6  Use Divinycell, not so much a modification as it is a personal choice.  The original was built using Klegecell and the plans suggest using 1" thick blue fabricators foam as an alternative.

#7  No real design for wheel pants

#8  No detail on the lower mounting apparatus for the main landing gear, so I will build a mirror of the top braces

#9  The fuselage structure between the wings is not clear

#10  The number of main wing spar fittings is 4 per side for a total of 8

#11  No mention in plans of V speeds

#12  Plans call out trim tab control slot to be made in the Left Hand fuselage side and the anti-tab control horn to be located on the Right Hand side.  I will be putting it on the left hand side to keep things conventional.

#13  Make rudder pedals from aluminum channel and hang them from the top

#14  Make the cockpit opening 31 3/4" instead of 27" long

#15  4 point harness attachment structure

#16  In flight adjustable trim

#17  Moved anti-tab control fittings inboard to avoid interference with the hinges
