Hopefully, I am not very far behind you,
so I know what you mean about the
dust!

I can't wait to get mine outside jst to
wash it!

Also, what engine/prop combo do you have?

Keep us posted & be safe!

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.

I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

I like the look of your panel. Can you provide some details and a better, clearer picture?

I know, I know! :oops:
I have no illusions that with 30 feet of landing area to , I will pull my handle to full flaps and drop her in.
I will do 1/3 on downwind, 1/3 on base and full flaps on final.
It's how I learned and know.
I kept the handle so maybe one day,,,,,,,,, :lol:
Oh,,,,, and I still have my nose wheel just in case!!!!!!!!

What do you have to keep your windows open? Looks small and neat if it works good.

Ok. I need P/N's, cost
and availability on those
gas shocks, please. :D

I have been a little leary about
trying to order some.

Thanks!

Sorry, I must be missing something, I am getting linked to the catalog page with six different sizes ranging from 4.33-9.05 inches. Still not sure what size, but from the picture you posted I would guess either the 7.08 or 8.26 inch extended length.

miniature gas spring with eyelet fitting 7.08" extended length, 2.5" stroke, 30lb force

Hope this helps
