Building Ends, Flying to Begin!
Build Hours: 1263
Both UCs are complete as much as a homebuilt ever will be.
The 32hp UC on the left has flown but the pilot was suffering sensory overload.
A full flight report will be posted in the future.

Below the panel - Notice the parking brake nob, heel brakes and absense of clutter around the feet.

Congratulations guys, finally a finished plane, I can only imagine you are both excited. Looking forward to the flight report. I am also looking forward to the chance to video. Still up for any computer assistance I can help with.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, you guys have inspired me to keep going on my own UC project. I will finish it one day, I hope it looks half as nice as yours.

Do you have bigger file of it? If you have, would it be possible you to send it to my email. janne161(at)gmail.com
Clicking the picture should give you a larger version and there are 1 or 2 closeups. Ask again if you do not see what you need.
