Oh, by the way, when Ira had those decals built, he had them built from high horsepower material, so they will add 5 horse power to any plane that they are installed on!!! (well, 4 hp to an RV if the owner also owns a thorp) Not really just kiddin, but they sure do look fine dont they!.......Dan |

I like your N#. Looks like Not for Boys. I assume that was intentional? |

This is the fuselage from a Thorp S18 damaged from the tornado at Sun n Fun back in 2011. Duke and I rebuilt the fuselage and its ready for the gear leg.

thank you everyone for you help and complements. I have weighed the plane and came in at 929lbs. I have ran the C.G. limits and most fwd CG was 64.5 and most aft CG with 100lbs in luggage and 5 gal of fuel with 400 lbs plt/coplt cam in at 69.9. The CG limits that I was given by Eklund Engineering was 62.5 - 72.0. With that said I am well within limits. Also I get my operating limitations, airworthy cert and builders cert tomorrow and should have my first flight on Friday. I have had several ground runs and no issues or leaks. thanks once again and I will let you know how it goes. Last thing, I want to thank the Janzen family for there support and making this possible for me. Thank you all.

Congratulations Scott! Wish I could have hung around the airport a bit longer today to see it fly. How long did you keep it in the air? Did it fly straight and level? Again, great job. |
