Oh yes

I’m reassembling my fuselage after taking it to the powder coating shop. I think I am getting to where I have to begin permanently attaching parts like the boot cowl. I am wondering what, if anything, you guys did on the inside of the boot cowl. Did you paint it before riveting parts...

Does anybody know a way to fill a hole in aluminum sheet (About the size of a #40 drill...) for appearance only? Epoxy? For bigger screw-ups Can it be filled with weld to then be redrilled for a rivet? I just can’t bring myself to remake this part ... again. All non-structural boot cowl stuff.

I just had my seats done locally (AK) and am very happy with the result. The company is Sport Aircraft Seats and he would be happy to do more Bearhawks. Cost was similar to Oregon Aero but he uses more cold wx friendly foam (I.e. not memory type foam.) I requested a fairly utilitarian design so...

I am wrapping up the initial cutting and clecoing of the boot cowl and have arrived at the belly piece that spans the gap between tunnel and stringers. I plan to run fabric under the doors and really don’t have a good idea of how I am going to shape/fasten this piece. I see the forward...

As I ponder the plan for my fuel system a couple of questions have come up that I haven’t found to be “googleable.” I am planning on using the EFII system which has two return lines through the selector to the tanks. It seems like the fuel lines from the tanks to the boost pump need to be...

Hey folks, if anybody is planning on ordering their flying wires from Steen I am starting a group order. If we get 5-7 orders at once it can save a couple hundred bucks each, so it might be worth your time to call steen and get on the list. Cheers!

Hello all, I’m on the verge of ordering a QB kit from Mark (soon as the boat sells) and am doing some “strategerizing.” I haven’t found a post that answers my question so apologies if this is redundant. And thanks in advance for any suggestions! Since each build is likely to progress...
