Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX
Sorry Glenn, I failed you. We started fitting our windshield. Thanks Jeff and Sonex604.com. Here Adam is whacking down the flange: https://s1.postimg.org/1vd7uvwb6n/whack_job.jpg After the initial whacks I realized it would be prudent to remove the radio and transponder. Next, a trial fit: https://s...

Re: fatigue crack and break of tail wheel spring
