Random tips for those building
Here are a couple random tips of things that I’ve found since flying:
- Set the brake pedals tilted as far forward as possible. It is very difficult to taxi and keep the feet off the brakes.
- If you are using camlocs to attach the cowl at the sides of the firewall, don’t “scallop” the attachment piece like I did. The reason is that when installing and removing the lower cowl, the peg of the camloc in the cowl gets caught between the receptacles in the “scallops”. Also, during installation of the lower cowl, the top aft corner gets caught in the valley of the scallops. Both a big pain.
