Re: Greetings from Central Arkansas
Hey Brandon! Welcome to the gang. Having a new kit on order is an exciting thing and beware the risk of dying from impatience. I think we almost lost BobDz from that, but he seems to be pulling through.

Re: Funky Exhaust Stack
They are stainless. You can clean that up. I'd pressurize it with a shop vac and use soapy water to check for a leak. Any good welder could fix that.

Re: Save $700 to $800

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex
Is Waiex middle small rudder too small for tailbeacon? I don't think it is too small. But I skipped the mini-rudder for 2 reasons: 1) You have to get wires across the moving rudder to the non-moving fuselage.

Re: Tailbeacon on a Waiex
I'm curious if other Waiex builders see this as a good ADSB option or not. Should we tool up to make one or a run of them?
