Thorp Air Command - T18.net

If I had to do it over while building I would put in the larger DR main tank . Electric roll and pitch are high on my list and both work as advertised and add next to nothing to the weight . Electric flaps ? Nice but not critical for me . If I did the weight for the servo probably matches the manual flap assembly weight ? Removable floor is a good idea, just like adding the access cover for the fuel tank . I have the access cover , nut not the disappearing floor . If flying EXTRA ALONG legs with extra fuel modifying the tunnel would be a good idea . An auto pilot with at least altitude hold is a kick ass fringe benefit ! To be able to fly hands off for extended periods of time with the AP on is something you need to see and try ! Really reduces pilot fatigue ! Like I said in the last post...As much fresh cool air as you can stand from the extra vents . Well padded seats with some quality foam inserts .

Outboard rudder cables - it eliminated the center tunnel in the foot well - my cables run through the bulkheads - there are delrun pass through fittings riveted to each bulkhead. They will wear - I wrapped the rudder cables in poly tubing to decrease the friction on the pass through fitting. So far so good. The only downside I see is plumbing any wing fuel (which I do not have) and having a place to mount a valve, but a creative mind should be able to solve that. Personally, I really like the "open space" in the foot well......and She Who Eye Wership gets to play mile high footsy....

You get those webbed feet near my perfectly formed appendages and your right webbed foot will be 6 inches shorter than your left ! Again a larger main DR tank would be my solution .
