Wheeler for sale

Hello everyone. Thought this might be of interest to some people. Looks to be a s90 partially built kit. I think I see grove aluminum gear in the pics as well.

Re: Siemens SP260D

The motor tech seems to be there. Now we have to wait for the batteries to catch up. Just from a reliability perspective, I'm all ears. Electric propulsion looks promising and I think experimental category aircraft will lead the way.

Re: Rib J

If you still have not closed your wing I would ask if you could check your spar for me. When sitting in the saddles is the spar cap level fore/aft from end to end? I thought it should be, level the length and also fore/aft. My outboard saddles seem a little off. If I level the bottom of the saddle ...

Re: Rib J

What was the verdict? Did anyone have success with this procedure change? I am approaching wing closure and I like the idea of getting Rib J in there first.

Re: CT Electric flap

Thanks for the reply. Yea I have all the hardware, I just don't have the plans. This is a second hand kit and it appears that some pages are missing, or something.

Re: CT Electric flap

Essentially I'm just looking for any install instructions with an electric flap motor for the CT models.

Re: CT Electric flap

The very first ct models had a manual flap system. Around 1991 the electric actuator was added. I'm looking for the install instructions for the actuator and parts. I don't think mine is the volvo motor that you described.

CT Electric flap

I have an early CT kit that has the parts for electric flap control. I also have paperwork that references SB080, but I do not have that service bulletin, or any other paperwork that explains how to install the electric flap system. Does anyone have this paperwork, or know where I could get it?

Re: Transition Training

Give me a year, or two to get mine finished and built. I will need transition training.
