[@MrBarbuster]

lol meant aoa glad to see ya back also

[@RonaldEarp]

DJ Good video thanks for posting. Glad you back at it. On that reinforcement plate on the bottom fuselage, did you put that there due failures with fuselage? Is there a cad file for it you'd share or handmade? Might wish to do the same mod.

[@Outbound300]

I added that piece as part of some other reinforcements in that area. I wasn’t satisfied with how lightly constructed the area is. I drew a CAD file for it and had it waterjet cut. I’ll post the file up on my website, outbound300.com tonight.

@@Outbound300 Awesome, thanks so much! I'll have one made and use it. I will have to drill out some rivets but that's okay. I was also planning to add in some diagonals on the side skin that area too, and need to do this work before I paint the fuselage.

[@RonaldEarp]

@@Outbound300 DJ I can't find that file there for some reason or another. I found the good pulley design you did, those are cool too and I had downloaded those earlier. Is there a download area that possibly I'm missing? Thanks! Ron

[@Outbound300]

my apologies! I hadn't got to it until just now. I put a link on the tailcone part 2 blog page: outbound300.com/the-build/f/tailcone-part-2

[@asusy2772]

Because of the RANS tailwheel leaf spring: Could you have reversed the installation direction? It looks like the bend is flatter at the other end. May be RANS made mistakes by assembling...

[@Outbound300]

The hole sizes and shape of the spring is different at each end. Would not be possible to flip it around.

[@MrBarbuster]

little more aol?

[@andremarais2706]

BUY A TRIPOD.

[@Outbound300]

I own three tripods. Shall I buy a fourth?
