BUILDERS BUILD AND HATERS HATE, I PRAE YOU HAVE THE GOOD SENSE BROTHER TO LEAVE THEM TO THEIR FATE. HAVE A GREAT LIFE!!

In years to come this is going to become a reference point on how to properly build wings. Keep "over achieving" it's called Safety.

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks, and Rock ON!

[@AndrewAnderson-vb4pp]

Is all the timber sealed in some way on a wooden wing ?

[@dagtheaviator]

Yes, with West System Epoxy thinned with denatured alcohol.

Saudações desde Brasil, muito legal esse projeto, gostaria de saber qual é a envergadura desse avião, e qual é o peso final dele, obrigado.

[@dagtheaviator]

Sorry, I only speak English. I don't speak any other languages.

[@ramaoramoscorrea5312]

Desculpa amigo, mas deve aparecer a opção de idiomas aí nos comentários, isso é muito bom, eu também não conheço nada de inglês e leio todos os comentários com o tradutor.

[@vanderleisutero1421]

Bom trabalho amigo, você poderia,me conceder,os planos?

[@SuperHurdman]

Leonard Millholland has a design he created called the Legal Eagle, Legal Eagle XL for taller pilots, Double Eagle, and a new one called the Cabin eagle. He sells the plans for a reasonable price May interest you! May be interesting building the cabin eagle and you would be able to bring your wife with you!

[@dagtheaviator]

I looked into about 4 airfames, the Legal Eagle was one. In the end, I wanted to TIG weld an airframe, the Airbike was the best choice for me. Thanks!

[@douglasanderson1276]

Beautiful wing, thanks for sharing. Be a shame to cover it

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks! I wish there was clear covering for a project this big.

[@bobawatsit]

Good work, and just a couple or three questions please 1) you have obviously mulled over many designs, why choose the 'airbike' 2) will the A/B take a 1/2 VW or similar 3) could the fuselage be slightly modified so that the rudder pedals are inboard 4) the legal eagle looks similar to the A/B, are there any other designs that are tractor powered that you consider to be worthy of a look at ta rob NZ

[@dagtheaviator]

I choose the airbike due to it fuse. I always wanted to Tig weld a fuse. Plus, the wings were very old school. I think the Better half VW might be a bit heavy, and very hard to hit Part 103 on a AB. Not sure how to make the pedals inboard. That would be a big re-design. IMHO, the Legal Eagle and AirBike are the two best tractor type Part 103 aircraft out there. :)

[@bobawatsit]

thanks 👍🛩

[@chadthornton6183]

[@dagtheaviator]

Thanks. Except for mounting the ailerons a few odds and ends, and covering the wings, I am done.
