Hi Michael,

Congratulations for your beautiful Hatz! It looks very refreshing with interesting paint scheme!
We are also very interested to hear about the first flight results!

Kindest regards and best wishes from overseas

Micheal,
I did the same thing, missed out on a group order by waiting to assemble the wings/fuselage to be sure of the lengths I ordered would fit. My measurements were within 3/16" of plans. So I put together another group order. There have been several group orders since then.

Glad you got your wires. They ARE beautiful and will look great on the Hatz!

Have fun!

Well Well My last needed flying wires have arrived in Florida. - Almost 12 weeks?????. Some one should start making in USA again????.

A note to current builders. I waited to order my wires until my wings were installed and rigged for fear of a drawing measurement error in the classic drawings (as there were many). As it turned out there was no need as the drawing measurements were correct and within +- 1/8".

Have not flown yet. Waiting on flying wires. I ended up having to order from Steen Aero. (Suppose to be in this week). I was able to get most of the wires from Stearman and Waco surplus - but not all. I am going to post some more pics when I get the wires on - and a video of the first flight.
