Captainphx's build

Wow, great list, thanks Flyboy!

Someone else had a builders wishlist here. I just added a couple things.

Funny, I was never a fan of green til I saw the s7 speedster that Kyle Franklin flew. And your powdercoat looks like the same green. It's beautiful.

[captainphx]

Yes, and when you decide to do a color like this, you have real second thoughts, doubts, but... I have a vision. We'll see how it works out! Thanks.

I do like the green powdercoat, but I'd consider painting the tubes a dark color where they will reflect off the interior of the glass.

Holy cow I'm jealous of your build space. I think my paint would have turned out better if I'd had the space to construct a proper paint booth.

Nice setup and it's coming along nicely!!! I grew up in Yuma!!

Question on the plastic left side control column bearing....manual says to sand it to fit snug. I haven't sanded mine at all and it fits not quite as snug as I would like. How was your bearing? Did it need sanding? Mine has a bit of play.

What tools and methods have people used to trim the rudder control horns for the adjustable rudder pedal option?

[captainphx]

Yes, I have read on this forum about the reflections. I'll have to wait and see if that bothers me or not.

I actually had to remove material so that two halves would mate closer. Then I found I removed too much so I had to shim it.
