To everyone: Here is a picture of my rear bulkhead door. Thought it could be used for a location for a ground power plug, O2 fill, maintenance for the...

Greg, My hysol was over 2 years old and it worked just fine. I used it for closing the rudder and VS. When I talked to Tim, he said not to worry about the...
More pain. My rudder cuff is about 3-4 inches too short. Anybody else run into this?? I have trimmed about 1/2" off of each side to accomodate the radius of...
Greg One thing I would think about is the layups to cover the fusalage seam on the outside. I think If I had to do it again I would put a 2" bid on the seam...
Drew - We aren't very close to the sternpost with our trimmed VS skins. I tried to measure the amount of the skins that go beyond the premoled sides of the...
Drew - We had about 1" gap at the top and used a piece of foam to fill it and micro over that to bring it out to the same radius as the rest of the cuff. We...
Ron - We just took delivery of a 4 place system from Airox. They are up in your part of the country (Maine). We bought it at Sun N fun. Call Lloyd Boston at...

Interesting....I also have the fasbuild rudder (millennium)with the Whelen A500A tail strobe (bought from Lancair/strobe kit). I realized before I closed the...
Got it! - Thanks John. Your idea sounds easier using the foam for the cuff closeout. I closed the top of my VS last week exactly like you described and it...

Drew, I have the 900. It died over Huntville, AL. JPI doesn't stock units. They are all custom built to order. My understanding is the 930 has practically ...
