Re: airspeed indicator and flap torque tubes
Although I'd hate to 'break' the lower skin at that location and put another inspection hole there I can't see how else you could do any repairs there. The location is far away from the inspection hole between rib R and J to be feasible, I think. Or...in case of a needed repair get a recip saw and t...

Re: Registration and bill of sale
Personally, I asked for a bill of sale when I purchased the kit/project from a private person. There is no reasonable way to get an 'initial/original' bill of sale from a company that doesn't exist anymore. I believe the FAA is aware of this problem, if it is a problem to begin with.

Rib J
Still wondering, after reading manual, why I can't place Rib J BEFORE wing close out.... My thinking is a much better (open) access to Rib R and Rib J for laminating it up. I have the 'new' bracket style and steel landing gear. Anybody did this in this order or am I overlooking an important procedur...

Pedal
hi,
would anybody have an extra Right Pedal by any chance?
Since I am missing that one there should be somebody out there who has one too many...right?
Not in a hurry, still far to go before needing it for flight!
Thanks,
John

Re: New builder Express CT

Been digging through 3 binders of building manual so f...
