Hi Bill,
Welcome.  Project here is a 173 RG with 20B rotary engine, PC/Touch Screen monitoring, AHRS, moving map etc.  Am looking towards first flight in spring and hoping to be operational over the summer.  Located in SC.  One of our routine trips will be to Anderson to see our grandson.  

Joe

  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.
