Re: MAM factory extended wing tips
If I remember correctly, the factory tip needed some support structure built before fitting. Someone can verify this. The fife tips, while hard to get sometimes, are a bolt on. And I don’t know about other’s experiences but they we also way better quality than Murphy’s. I gave mine away. Craig

Re: Fuel cost shock
Wow! We have $6.58 here and I thought that was high. Not that I’ve bought any in a while. Lol. Hopefully I’ll get to feel angry about avgas soon. Haven't flown since Oct ‘19 Two years ago gas prices were “reasonable” and the US was exporting energy. Now the Biden administration has severely crippled...

Re: Kitplanes Article
Good article. I wouldn’t mind doing some flying in that area. Used to spend a lot of time in the Cedar City, Navajo Lake area camping with my kids. Your plane looks great. CW

Re: Fixing miss-drill
Yes, almost every part in your kit can be made with a hammer, brake, and some aluminum. A router with a pattern bit, some mdf, and a spindle sander are also helpful. Glad you got it figured out!

The piece looks to be a channel so some sort; if so, it seems it would be loaded like a beam, in tension on one side and compression on the other. The force on the rivet would be a stretching, not a shear. Craig

Re: Fixing miss-drill
Well you could put a doubler on the underside to make the area stronger.

Re: Painting
Looking good. I would say if you have the pieces done and you’ve had them on the plane and know they fit right and are ready to go, paint away. Especially if he knows what he’s doing and he’s offering and you don’t! LOL it’s a very big job
