Re: Looking for Builders/Owners of Express 2000 Airplanes
Curt, 1. The aircraft is a fine one. I have one that is complete and one that is about 85% or so. The building takes about 1500 man hours but is not overall difficult. There is a board member that is selling 2 on here. Search Barnstormers for two Wheelers and you will see the ad. One of the aircraft...

Re: Wheel Pants
I can try to get a pic today of mine- but the bolt that holds the outside of the pant goes into the nut that is aligned with the center of the spindle. So, the bottom of the pant has to be lower than the center of the wheel/rim.

Re: FS: 1989 Wheeler Express kit w/ S-90 tail
A friend also said this was on Barnstormers? Any responses? Sorry it took so long to get it up here- there was a security update that conflicted with the antispam- I have been getting hundreds of spambots trying to register- I get an email from every registration attempt- so I have been up to my eye...

N45WE For Sale
Since I have 2 Wheelers, the wife has decreed that 2 planes are too much for one person. So, one must go. N45WE is an Express CT with the following specs: Complete rebuild in 2014-2015 of basic airframe. She was stripped inside and out, and everything replaced. New panel, new electrical system, new ...

Re: Bird I looked at. comments, please
I am an A&P and have 2 CTs. Here are my thoughts- 1. The alternator could be a non issue or require replacement. My "certified FAA-PMA" alternator is a Delco in disguise but with an $800 price tag. If in doubt test it or replace it. 2. Replacing the cables is usually a 3 to 4 hour job-...

Re: Build manuals 1&2?
There are some differences between the early CT and the later i.e. late 90s models. I have an early aircraft SN 16, and a 99 kit with manuals for each. There are mostly minor differences in the airplanes. My 99 manual has an additional bulkhead in the aft fuse section, the flaps have 3 hinges instea...

Re: Fiberglass concerns
I would be glad to look it over for you- just let me know when and where.
They are great airplanes- At 8500 feet I get 150 knots at 8.1 gph ROP. Great useful load, good slow flight characteristics.
If you have any more questions, let me know.

Re: Corvette LS-1 through 9 engines
There are a few LS1 engines flying. The early wheelers had 2 crashes due to this type of engine- not the engine per se, but the in flight fires were caused by the engine. In both cases an oil line leaked oil onto the headers and caused a fire. Both times it was a rubber hose that ruptured. If you do...
