Glass Panel in a Pitts! - PANEL UPGRADE EPISODE 1
Просмотров 1807 месяцев назад
I finally take the Pitts offline to begin the panel upgrade. Tough to do but now that we're in the dead of winter this is the best time of year to do it. Bunch of fun stuff to come, fabricating a carbon instrument panel and then wiring the whole thing up with an AV-30 and GRT EMS!

Can't wait to see you build more on the SuperCub and I always enjoy watching someone else getting the same enjoyment out of flying that I do. How much welding experience did you have before you started welding the fuselage of the SuperCub and do you think a beginner welder could tackle a Javron Kit?

      Hi Clint, I had very little. After finish welding the fuselage I now feel like I can make safe welds. Still far from an expert... Luckily with the Javron kit there is zero welding! The fuselage is done when you get it from them. I bought a tubing kit from VR3. Thank for watching!

    In the last episode you built the rudder, you had already built the vertical stab. Well that was a disappointment. why didn't you show assembling the pieces and tacking? being only tacked and then having to move the plane again, wouldn't that throw your alignment off? I mean now your having to measure twice.
