[Brainard, Jerry]

Welcome Bill.  
 
Although it sounds like you are about done, if we can be of assistance,
there are two of us in the Cincinnati area that could make a run.  One
has had a first flight and the other is about to closing the stakes. If
you are ready to fly, come see us (I68) as soon as you can.

Hi All,

 

I'm Bill Walker and a XL-5 RG builder here in Indy. Here are my airplane
specifics:  4 yrs into the build, Performance Engines IO-550 with equal
length ceramic coated headers and 2 collectors, Aerotronics panel, all
electric with dual alternators, and dual PC-680 batteries. The airframe
is structurally done, the engine is in, the underside is in final primer
and the gear is in final paint. The wiring is just now being completed.
I am ready to install a custom designed PreOiler this week, and the
pitot system by the end of the year. I hope to have it in the air by
late summer next year.

 

I've made lots of changes to the kit from the control system to the seat
design.  I'll post some pics soon.

 

Anyone interested in an easy little change that could mean a lot: Dip
the output shaft of the Aileron Trim copier motor into Plastidip tool
coating material for about three or four coatings. Now, add a fourth
wrap of the trim string and you will have a system with much better
"stiction", but will still slip when at the ends of system travel are
achieved. 

 

If anyone has already posted this, I apologize for not going throughout
the archives.
