    Default Back on the job

    After 8 months of inactivity we are back on the job. Got the fuselage and tail feathers painted this week.

    We are using the Stewart's System. Insignia White.

    Here are a couple of pictures.

    Looks great, gotta love fresh white.

    So, why does KF choose to locate the lift handle on the top longeron vs. the lower longeron as Avid did? Being somewhat vertically challenged I found it much easier to raise my Avid than my KF ie., just keep your arm straight and lift with your legs. Was Dan Denney freakishly tall or something?

    I find the handle on the upper longeron to be MUCH more convenient for pushing and maneuvering the aircraft around the hangar. It allows this without bending over. I agree that for just lifting it may be better lower down, but lifting is a small part of what I use it for.
