Mikeee- that is truly a gorgeous airplane=2C and a very interesting aileron cable setup. Sure makes it easy to inspect and service the cables and pulleys!The one thing that puzzles me is the apparent thrust-line of the engine. It sure seems to be cocked down but maybe that's just the angle of the photos or something. Look at the line of the top longerons and then the line of the head or the prop axis. I guess that's the way they're setup though...Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio=2C TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
