    I am working on an avid heavy hauler trigear. rebuilding and am ready for the weight and balance . using the numbers and formulas I have a empty cg at 12.inches and a loaded cg at 13. anybody else have a trigear . my next move is to jack the plane at the cg indicated and see how close it is.

    I always fill from the bottom. I don't think it matters how you get the old fluid out but your idea sounds great.

    They were maybe 1/8" thick.  I laid up some fiberglass on an old lexan windshield.   I used some of my polyester resin a week ago, and it hardened up just fine.  It's a few years old.

    Hi Jim,
    what thickness did you make the tank doublers that you used to glue the top of the tank back in? Thanks Bryce

    Matco brake fluid replenish
    Hi,
    I need to change the oil in my Matco brakes on my Avid Mk4. I was thinking about doing it the same way I do on my mountain bike brakes, which is to open the vent on the master cylinder and then suck out the fluid with a syringe from the bleed port on the caliper so that the system will be empty. Afterwards, I would the fill them up with new fluid again from the bleed port.

    Any reason why that would not work? I got the Matco MC-5 master cylinders.
    Thanks!

    I have been under the weather lately, so couldn't measure my MK IV fuselage for you.  Maybe this drawing will give you an indication of what you were asking for.

    Wish I had one to trade !  I'm running a 3 blade NR with no spinner.  I'd love to have a skull cap spinner but no one has them in stock anymore.

    thanks for the reply jim. a previous owner  already cut off the motor mount and modified the firewall for a VW. (mistake) so will fix that. i was wondering about fuselage length are the B,C, and mark 4 longer? also i'm missing right lift strut so will have to make one unless i can find one for sale. the one i have is 3/4 inch if i go to 7/8 inch will that increase my g.w.? also i have the 30 foot wingon my model A. my hangar door is 30 foot! would removing the wing tip and drop the span to 27 feet be a bad idea? my ridge runner  3 had a 26 foot span with a rotax 503 and performed great. thanks jim

    A model is 36" wide at the top of the seat.  Others are 39 1/2" wide.  Gross weight is much less as well.  Originally had a welded in motor mount, not bolted on like later models.
