where did you get the wheel pants from the airplane looks great

[mmcgrew]

The wheel pants came from Spruce. Would not recommend. They were very poorly and cheaply made. Almost threw they away. However, I have a friend who builds composite planes (Long eze type) and he reworked them and did a super job - He not only re did the composite . He reshaped the lower edges for a better look. But he spent a lot of time on them.

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.

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".

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!

They left Florida Yesterday - Will have on Tuesday. Excitement is building.
